[Dear Albert Einstein] encourages kids, especially girls, to get into math and science without being heavy-handed about it…it’s a wonderfully inventive and creative show about being yourself…This isn’t your average children’s show–my daughter and I laughed out loud many times

We were excited to see the show and it was a great one! The performance was funny & relayed an important message: “Be Yourself”! The show was entertaining and the little ones loved it!

Dear Albert Einstein strikes the right balance between seriousness  and fun

The danger in sacrificing your ideals for popularity isn’t a new theme, but the musical’s authors, Russ Kaplan and Sara Wordsworth, make it feel fresh.

Dear Albert Einstein, a witty new musical for young audiences from New York City Children’s Theater

The young adult actors deserve praise, as does Mr. Kaplan’s rich score, which ranges from ’50s-style rock and jazz to a lilting waltz.

I bought my 11-year-old and 10-year-old son to see Dear Albert Einstein this past weekend. I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Besides musically engaging, the libretto was immensely clever. My son was intrigued with Einstein’s life and went home to research him. I think that the message – don’t abandon your interests and skills just because they are ‘unpopular’ – hit home for my daughter. So thank you and the staff of NYCCT for bringing this to life.”
