My middle school students love this play.

This was my favorite book for almost all of my childhood. It really started me thinking. It's one I read and re-read over and over. It will always have a special place in my heart.

Clever and delightful.

I thought this production version of "The Phantom Tollbooth," originally written by Norton Juster, was written very well as both a story and a play. With this script, Susan Nanus does justice to the original book. It follows the original story very well, even with some added parts and some more funny moments. In the script, a young boy named Milo is bored out of his mind, that is until he discovers a mysterious tollbooth in his room, and upon entering it takes not only just Milo, but also the reader on an adventure of a life time. This would be a great play to do for a school, although it does require a lot of technical aspects. One of these technical aspects would be a moving car that would need to fit four different kids. However, looking past all of that, it makes both a great story and a great production. I recommend this play for any elementary school or middle school looking to put on a comedic or character-driven production. After reading this production script, I may even have to reread the original book as well!

This was fun to read along with the book, The Phantom Tollbooth. I'd love to see this play.

I got to page 50 and just couldn't read any more. It may be a great book for kids, but not for me. The part I read reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, except the mad hatter scene goes on and on and on. ie- 'lets eat light for dinner' 'trays of light come out' ha, ha so funny. . .light and light. . .I get it, light is both a noun AND an adjective. One word, two meanings!. . .fun. . . Seriously though, I feel like I just spent the last hour in room full of 6-9 year olds and need adult conversation now.

We performed this in junior high school. I was the Demon of Insincerity :D

Great adaptation of the original. Just finished directing it -- one of my favorites for children!

I did this play while I was in Junior High. It was quite fun. I played: The Lethargians, The awful Dynne, (Discord’s assistant) I also played one more character but I can’t remember the name. The page or something like that.

Milo’s adventures in the land of wisdom. Dictionopolis and Digitoplis are in a disagreement over what is more important, words or numbers. Normally Rhyme and Reason would settle disagreements but have been banished for not choosing one over the other. Enter Milo the boy disinterested in most things goes to save the princess with the excuse of why not. The importance of learning, using what you learn, and using your time while appreciating it are at center of this charming children’s play. Excellent capture of the source material.

I did not like this book at all! It was so boring, confusing, and an all around bad book. Don't read it!
