What are people saying about WonderSpark Puppets?

Thank you for performing the “Case of the Missing Birthday” at my daughter Jade’s 3rd birthday party. The puppets were incredible, the character voices were just darling and the kids loved the sing along. I know it is difficult to entertain a group of 25 children ages 3-5 but the two of you captivated both children and adults alike. I will definitely add your company to my contact list for next year.

I love WonderSpark's puppet shows. They did my sons 6th Birthday party and my synagogues Passover puppet show. The kids and adults were thoroughly entertained!

Your "Jack and the Beanstalk" show was a standout at PGOGNY's recent National Day of Puppetry celebration at the 42nd St. Library!

Your show was out of this world. I can't say enough how extraordinary I think you both are.
