Seattle Children’s Theatre’s world premier of “Goodnight Moon,†a book that has delighted children drawn to the simplicity of bunnies and mice living together in a green room for 60 years looks, feels and sounds fabulous on stage.
At first thought, most parents who have read this book to their children will wonder how one makes a play from a book that barely has any sense of a story. “Goodnight Moon†is more a shout-out to a few friends, like the ending of a “Walton’s†episode, than something a playwright can hang a climax on. But, not everyone is Chad Henry â€" one of Seattle’s greatest talents, who took the simplicity of “Goodnight Moon,†kept to its general themes and created a funny, musical, enriching show.
The set is a near photocopy of the book’s illustrations. Expanded with 100 times the words, some fancy dance steps and fun songs, the show more than delights the children in the audience, it works for the parents as well.
“Goodnight Moon†runs through March 10, Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 and 5:30 p.m., at Seattle Children’s Theatre, located at 201 Thomas St., at the Seattle Center. Tickets are $16 to $32. â€" Ken Swarner
