“Mel Atkey, who wrote the score and lyrics, has composed lovely music whose fiddle passages recall period tunes

"Mel Atkey, who wrote the score and lyrics, has composed lovely music whose fiddle passages recall period tunes." – New York Times, 7 November 2003.

"A Little Princess, based on the classic Frances Hodgson Burnett novel, enchants with carefully drawn characters, nicely written songs, and a comfortably old-fashioned feel… The children in the audience loved it, including my daughter Olivia… Mel Atkey's songs were catchy; I heard Olivia humming them during intermission." – Backstage (New York)
"The songs, written by Mel Atkey, perfectly match the scenes. A banjo ads authentic American character while stately drum rolls introduce the Colonel. ‘Keep Up Your Chin’ carries an especially sweet melody and emphasizes the importance of being optimistic." – Show Business.
