Customer Reviews
Belles on Their Toes is a delightfully funny sequel to the family classic Cheaper By the Dozen. Good roles for children ages 5 to 18 and for adults, too. Not as sentimental as Cheaper, this more humorous look at the incredible Gilbreth family is fun for actors and audience.
Belles on Their Toes is an extremely funny (and fun to produce) play. The audience just roared. We had many people come back for the second night. This is a fantastic script!
The show proved to be a charming crowd pleaser. Our young people relished learning about a different time period and embraced their roles. With only one set, this is an ideal community theatre or school production.
