I am Peter S. Beagle's business manager. I just wanted to post here that Peter and I were at the premiere and second-day matinee, and we both enjoyed this show very much. We've seen plenty of stage versions of THE LAST UNICORN over the years, but this was by far the most imaginative. Was it perfect? Definitely not. But we were impressed with everyone's work and would very much like to see how much farther this approach might eventually be taken. Hi. I am Peter S. Beagle’s business manager.

The production looked cheap. The script was too long. I nearly fell asleep in the 2nd act. Frankly the show didn't make me care about the story. You could tell the actors were all trying really hard, but sometimes that isn't enough. Very fair review. The production looked cheap. The script was too long. I nearly fell asleep in the 2nd act.

I am not a lifelong fan of the novel or the movie although I have appreciated the story. This play, on the other hand, has touched me and my soul. I feel that it is incredibly beautiful. The simple nature of the costumes and set require you to use your imagination and while doing so may take effort, it is well worth it. The actors are all excellent and tell such an amazing story about mortality and the beauty of it. True, this type of show may not be for everyone, but I highly recommend it and will be seeing it again and telling all my friends about it. It is the most beautiful play I have seen in a very long time. I disagree 100%. I am not a lifelong fan of the novel or the movie although I have appreciated the story.
