"A rollicking trek. Phileas Fogg, the imperturbable hero of AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, has returned to New York... Never journeyed with Fogg? Allow me. He is a London bachelor of independent means so regular in his habits that he fires a manservant for serving him a cup of tea at the wrong temperature. One day, at his club, Fogg wagers 20,000 pounds that a man can now make it around the world in 80 days and sets off that same night, with his new valet Passepartout, a former tightrope walker, in baffled tow. Traveling by train, boat and sledge, rescuing a plucky Indian widow along the way, he treats time zones like his own personal hopscotch court... How exhilarating it must have been, in an era before discount cruises and air travel, when most readers would count themselves lucky to journey a town or two away. How thrilling is it now? Still pretty thrilling." Alexis Soloski, The New York Times "Pure, unadulterated magic...utterly beguiling...a high-spirited, imagination-filled escapade.... Laura Eason's exceptionally graceful adaptation of the Jules Verne classic...manages to be both wise and fun-filled...it lays its bets on enchantment and invariably comes up a winner...a show that should sail the world. Highly recommended." Chicago Sun-Times "Light, cheerful and greatly entertaining...laudably committed to its theatricality.... Eason's staging is full of the visual imagination.... It's all a great deal of fun." Chicago Tribune "An engaging, family-friendly show. Highly recommended." The Chicago Reader "Eason's affable adaptation plays up elements of Verne's novel that are sometimes forgotten... Eason moves stylishly from set piece to set piece, from the cuckoo-clock orchestration of Fogg's London life to teacups sliding across a shipboard table." Time Out Chicago
