“There are two stand-out reasons to see Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch Who Stole Christmas at the Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis. One is Reed Sigmund…The other is child actor Mabel Weismann, whose touching and nuanced performance as Cindy-Lou Who steals the show again and again.”
” …special mention must be made of Mabel Weismann as the purest soul in Whoville, Cindy-Lou, the one who melts Mr. Grinch’s heart (along with everyone in the audience).”
“… this Cindy-Lou is absolutely a worthy foe for the Grinch. (Spoiler alert, I guess: The truth is that she’s even stronger than he is.) And tiny Mabel Weismann, the veteran of CTC’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” who plays winsome Cindy-Lou without ever getting too winsomey, is a fantastic scene partner for Sigmund. Weismann is a born performer — check out the precision with which she executes Cindy-Lou’s heel-toe/heel-toe walk — and she makes it powerfully convincing that this tiny tot’s charm offensive could steer the Grinch onto the tinsel-strewn path of holiday cheer.”
