An Ocean of Imagination

It seems there are more fish in the sea when it comes to family musicals that take place in the ocean. John Tartaglia, of former Avenue Q fame, has created Imaginocean, which opens today at New World Stages.
What makes the show unique is that it’s all done in black light, meaning all the performers wear black suits from head to toe, so the only thing the audience sees are the puppets, who look like they’re swimming or floating in the water.
This also seems like a great show for little ones, with a 50 minute run time, a story that is easy to follow, and a cheaper price tag per ticket (about $39.00 a ticket, since its off-Broadway).
A great way to school little fish in the art of theatre!
