Let's talk about the Olympia Family Theater production. It's cute. Now, sometimes, when we say something is cute - a Reese Witherspoon rom-com, for example - we mean it's inoffensive and a few steps down the road toward being funny. Not so with Alexander. When I say this production is cute, what I mean is it'll make both adults and children smile. I mean it entertains and delights with unexpected creative touches, and it's worth your money, and it gets folks excited about theater. Win, win, win.
