Spin audiobook

This audio book was delightful--and hilarious. I've never listened to anything quite like it before. In someways it's a little like an old radio show production, but it's also pure musical theater with fairytale narration. If you like fairytales, music, and having a reason to laugh, this is for you.

Rumpelstiltskin is my name 🎶

This is a very fun, engaging, and well-produced audio performance for adults and kids alike. Jim Dale (the narrator of the Harry Potter series, and arguably one of the best around) is on-point, and the syrupy musical effects are distilled by the cunning humor that runs throughout both the narrative and the songs. I originally intended for this to be a listen for my first grader. It took less than ten minutes to realize that her 13 year old sister, and possibly even my husband, would find it equally compelling, as there is no shortage of adult humor (not inappropriate, to be clear) sprinkled liberally throughout. My only (minor) disappointment is that, as an Audible production, I was unable to get a copy of this from the library. Normally I don’t mind buying a good book on audio, and am an active Audible member. Even with my membership, this title cost about $13 (or one credit), for a story with a total running time of 90 minutes. This feels a bit steep, given the length of the program; however, it IS truly a production, with many different people providing voices, high-quality musical pieces, and a very creative and entertaining storyline. If I had it to do over, I’d still buy it, so I’d say it was worth the money at the end of the day.

I flipping LOVED this audiobook musical!! Omg!! If you have children and you want them to experience a joyous, smart, and entertaining musical for all ages (if you’re tired of Disney or whatever you got going on on repeat), you need to make sure you let them listen to this 1hr28min audiobook musical. Narrators were amazing and the tale was simply well done. Bravo!I was given this audiobook for free by Khristine Hvam (Adele in the audiobook musical). This, in no way, swayed my honest review.

3.75Think local playhouse musical and you have this Audible book. There is no other way to explain it. I enjoyed it, but I love musical theater.And I LOVE Jim Dale, the narrator. I completely totally adore Jim Dale.The man could read me my own death sentence and I'd grin from ear to ear.

A fun version of Rumpelstiltzkin with catchy melodies and an ending that's somewhat kinder than the original. I found myself laughing throughout and just really had fun with this. It definitely reminded me of old radio shows, although the production is more polished than a "live" show would be. I would recommend this to those who enjoy musicals, as well as fans of fairytale retellings. This would be a fun road-trip listen.

Fun to listen to, especially with Jim Dale as narrator. It was a nice contrast to Rump, which I just finished a good choice for a family trip-only about 1.5 hours and older kids would enjoy, too.

This was awesome! It was like a Broadway play on audiobook. Full cast, musical numbers, sound effects, and the narration of Jim Dale all in one fantastic book. It is basically the traditional story of Rumplestiltskin with just a bit extra. The actors are fantastic, the songs are hilarious and the entire productions was just a treat to listen to. I highly recommend this short audiobook.

Our second audiobook musical found on hoopla. Great adaptation of the classic. The singers and songs are great. We listened to this in one shot on the way to Fairmont. A fun a fast read. Ending was different and better in my opinion than the usual ending.

A nice adaptation of a classic tale. Quite honestly, I listened to the audio version, and I would listen to anything narrated by Jim Dale. I'd listen to him read the periodic table! He is just that good!

I love audiobooks, and it's so fun to have a musical audiobook available! Jim Dale gives an amazing performance, with an incredible supporting cast. I hope this is the start of a new genre of audiobooks - we could use more of these!

This was such a fun listen! It was surprisingly short, but so completely engaging (which can be challenging for an audiobook). It made me want to sing along in the car, even though I'd never heard the songs before. I liked the strong moral of the story and would definitely play it for kids.

This was a cute little version of Rumpelstiltskin. Nothing much changed in the overall tale, but the music was fun (some of it reminded me of the music from Shrek).

Fun!

I love anything read by Jim Dale. His voice makes me feel so happy and calm. And the musical part was cute too. I have always loved the rumple story and this was a funny take on it.
