The best kids show (which pleases adults) I have ever seen
Let me preface this with me being a huge fan of bubbles. For ages I identified with that little fish in Finding Nemo who spent his life looking for them bubbles.
That being said this really is a magical family show that deserves the sold out audiences coming its way.
The show follows Dr Bubble as his puppet Milkshake comes alive – across the hour they discover that to have good friends you must be a good friend. The pair are seamless – picking up issues and adapting in the moment (bubbles are fickle) and with joy and character.
The show is non-verbal so accessibility is impressive. The physicality and clowning from the duo is a joy to watch and again slick and professional.
The bubbles are actually insane. Like it shouldn’t be possible to do that with literally soap bubbles. From rockets, to snowmen and the most dazzling umbrella display children are enrapt for an hour – which for parents is a dream.
But it’s not just the children, gazing round the room it’s the parents that gasp as an hexagonal bubble is produced, the parents who laugh and the shaving jokes and the parents who get to show off their child inside a bubble to everyone they meet afterwards.
For those of you not comfortable with sneaking into a kids show at 10am with no child – the pair also have sexy bubble show so don’t worry.
See you there!
