Yesterday we took Vicki and Lexi to see Biglittlethings at the Imago Theatre. It was so much fun! It's less of a play and more a performance - there's no dialogue, just five people in a variety of scenes featuring hitchiking rabbits, psychedelic glow-in-the-dark fish, jailbird racoons on the run, acrobatic larvae, cover-hogging hippos and more. The best part was when a family of polar bears came into the audience and climbed all over and around people. One crawled down the rows and right in between Lexi and me before turning and climbing over Vicki and Chris. Vicki thought it was hilarious, but it kind of freaked Lexi out. She kept asking me throughout the rest of the show whether they were going to come back into the audience. By the time we got back to the car, though, her sister had her convinced that it was pretty cool. If any of you ever have the opportunity to see this show, or its predecessor, FROGZ, jump at the chance! We saw FROGZ last spring and loved it, too!
The show sounds awesome and the girls' reactions don't surprise me. Too bad Ellie couldn't go. While she is a little young for it I bed there were parts she would have loved.
ReplyDeleteHey..so was Russ's cousin (Kyle Delamarter) in the show?
Sounds like you had a blast. I think Noelle would be freaked out about the Bears too but it still sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteNope, Em, no Kyle. The girls thought it was so cool that they might have even that little bit of a connection with one of the cast, but we looked and he wasn't on the list. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteEllie wouldn't have been the youngest kid there, but I'm glad she was content to play with her friend Katie. She would have enjoyed it, but not for an hour and a half.
