What a great show. These talented performers engage kids of all ages. I enjoyed this as much (if not more) than my 10-year-old son. It was smart, funny, entertaining, and educational. I especially loved the electrons juggled around the nucleus (or nuclei, in the case of bonded atoms sharing electrons). The one-lines were clever--loved the "dropped data" PC quip. Collapse

I purchased three tickets on BosTix. Unobstructed view, half price (though it was about $6 service charge per ticket). Still a good deal. We had really terrific seats. First row of the back section of the lower theater level. The Blue Man players were right in front of us when they went into the audience. The kids were really pleased. Collapse

My two children and I went to the opening of the exhibit and it was gorgeous and fun. The life size book is beautifully presented in English and Spanish. My 11 year old daughter enjoyed the snacks, hopscotch and the opportunity to recognize words in Spanish. My eight year old son loved running in and out of the pages and meeting the fluffy bunny. It was a wonderful experience and Ms. Smalls did fantastic job of melding an engagings story and interactive exercise! Collapse

A great show on many levels. The story/subject matter is fascinating and thought-provoking and the production is excellent - very well-acted and very well-staged. The precise lighting changes accompanying the scene changes contribute to the mood evoked by what's happening and the time period in which the story takes place. Collapse

If you have never been, do not miss it! Everyone should have this magical experience. Cast, staging, orchestra, costuming, crew, were impeccable. The Opera House is a fantastic venue. I was amazed at how thoroughly well-behaved children in the audience were. I was astounded at the talent and discipline of the youngest performers. Do not miss this. Collapse
