“If you're looking for low-cost, high-value entertainment for yourself and your children this holiday season, you can't do better than Turtle Shell Productions' "Pucelandia: the Pucical Musical," a delightful musical fairytale. Adults in the audience may well smirk at the political satire that keeps poking out from the fantasy. But while parents are snickering, their children will be watching with wide-eyed wonder as good battles evil.”
Paulanne Simmons -New York Theatre Wire
