"A musical I will return to again and again, year after year. Like a cartoon brought to life, Turkeys! is a Thanksgiving feast for the soul!" - Ben Kurzrock (Writer for Spongebob Squarepants)
"Subcultures collide through shtick-like classic Broadway musical song and dance. Thanksgiving will never feel the same after seeing Turkeys! the Musical and you will want to see it every Thanksgiving season." - Ben Korman (superfan)
