The energy was palpable as young children and their families filled Imagination Stage\u2019s Lerner Family Theatre on a Saturday afternoon for Winnie the Pooh<\/em>. Several children clutched stuffed animals of the beloved bear and his friends. Most fidgeted in their seats. One little girl behind me spoke for most when she said, \u201cI\u2019m so excited, I can\u2019t wait!\u201d The set (designed by Sarah Beth Hall) so perfectly recreated E.H. Shepard\u2019s iconic map<\/a> from A.A. Milne\u2019s original Winnie the Pooh books that as we took our seats, my two-year-old, attending his first play, pointed to the stage and shouted, \u201cIt\u2019s the Hundred Acre Wood!\u201d<\/p>\n

Imagination Stage\u2019s production, directed and choreographed by Christopher Michael Richardson, soon took the audience on a musical romp through the Hundred Acre Wood. Adapted by Le Clanch\u00e9 du Rand, with music by Allan J. Friedman and lyrics by A.A. Milne and Kristin Sergel, the script weaves together elements of four stories from Milne\u2019s 1926 collection Winnie-the-Pooh.<\/em> Fans of Milne\u2019s stories will immediately recognize the play\u2019s memorable moments. Eeyore loses a tail (and Pooh finds it). Piglet and Pooh attempt to trap a dreaded Heffalump, and to celebrate Eeyore\u2019s birthday, with unintentionally comic results of both endeavors. Rabbit plots to force newcomer Kanga to leave the forest by kidnapping her son Roo and swapping him with Piglet, resulting in a terrified and unwilling Piglet receiving a bath from Kanga. Where each of these appear as standalone stories in Milne\u2019s original, du Rand\u2019s script condenses all of the action into a single interconnected story set on a single busy day in the Hundred Acre Wood, punctuated by nine musical numbers directed by Elisa Rosman.<\/p>\n

With his lumbering movements, whimsical \u201cbear-of-little-brain\u201d musings, musical numbers with lyrics drawn directly from Milne (\u201cOn Monday When the Sun Is Hot,\u201d \u201cCottleston Pie,\u201d \u201cSing Ho! For the Life of a Bear\u201d), and relentless optimism, Jimmy Bartlebaugh embodies Winnie the Pooh. His famous love of honey takes center stage (accentuated by Zavier Augustus Lee Taylor\u2019s projections of honeycomb and dripping golden honey) in \u201cIsn\u2019t It Funny How a Bear Likes Honey?\u201d and later when he gets his head stuck in a honey pot to great comedic effect.<\/p>\n

The remaining characters (Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, and Roo) are played by a cast of three, each playing multiple roles. Understudy Quincy Vicks played Christopher Robin and Rabbit in the performance I attended. His bossy mannerisms and body language as he strode purposefully around the stage giving orders to Pooh, Piglet, and his numerous unnamed relatives, represented as ever-multiplying rabbits on a screen behind him during his catchy number \u201cFriends and Relations,\u201d punctuated throughout by energetic bunny hops, nailed the role of Rabbit. (\u201cFriends and Relations\u201d also brought chuckles to the adults in the audience with its cheeky tale of Rabbit\u2019s \u201cjust one nephew\u201d and the nephew\u2019s \u201cjust one visitor\u201d turning into \u201crelations by the score\u201d as they multiplied like \u2014 well, rabbits).<\/p>\n

Ashley D. Nguyen plays Piglet with an often-frantic nervous energy, rapid-fire movements and dialogue, and big emotions that many children in the audience could undoubtedly relate to. Her pigtail braids, and her frequent pulling on them as a form of stimming or self-soothing in anxious moments, provided a clever take on the character. Best known as Pooh\u2019s sidekick, and accused by Rabbit of lacking \u201cpluck,\u201d Nguyen\u2019s Piglet takes charge of the plan to trap the Heffalump, and having survived the terror of being bathed by Kanga, boldly asserts her own voice in \u201cPiglet\u2019s Song.\u201d Nguyen doubles as Roo, making Rabbit\u2019s plan to kidnap Roo and swap him with Piglet a bit of an embedded joke.<\/p>\n

Brigid Wallace Harper plays Eeyore, Owl, and Kanga. From Eeyore\u2019s melodramatic, operatic \u201cSing Woe! For the Life of a Donkey\u201d (backed by Taylor\u2019s projected rain and storm clouds) to Kanga\u2019s soothing lullaby \u201cRockabye, Rockabye, Roo,\u201d Harper brings outstanding vocal range to her multiple roles, along with comedic presence. Her running gag of bending down and looking through her own legs for her missing tail as Eeyore brought giggles to the children in the audience. Meanwhile, Eeyore\u2019s grumpy, sarcastic comments about Owl land especially humorously because Harper plays both roles \u2014 and despite only appearing in a single scene, her Owl is worth the price of admission!<\/p>\n

Frank Labovitz\u2019s costumes create a cohesive theme for the characters, with patched overalls in yellow for Pooh, pink for Piglet, light purple for Eeyore, and a multicolored patched coat for Christopher Robin. Rabbit stands out with a plaid shirt and suspenders. The animal characters are easily identified by the ears on their caps. Andrea \u201cDre\u201d Moore\u2019s props recreate some familiar and beloved elements of Milne\u2019s stories, including Pooh\u2019s honey pot and the balloon that Piglet attempts to give Eeyore as a birthday present. Darkness and ominous red lighting (Helen Alton-Garcia) and a popping sound effect (Madeline \u201cMo\u201d Oslejsek) combine with Moore\u2019s prop design to create a moment of high drama when Piglet falls and pops the balloon. My two-year-old talked about the balloon scene for days afterward.<\/p>\n

A couple of early-run hiccups occurred during the opening-weekend performance I attended. Eeyore was interchangeably referred to as \u201cthey\u201d and \u201che\u201d by the other characters, while Piglet was referred to as both \u201cshe\u201d and \u201che,\u201d which came across as accidental and potentially distracting for young audiences. Nonetheless, Imagination Stage\u2019s production draws Pooh-loving youngsters (and their parents) into the warmth and whimsy of the Hundred Acre Wood and reminds audiences of all ages why Winnie the Pooh remains beloved, 100 years after he first appeared.<\/p>\n
