The Gazillion Bubble Show has been one of Off-Broadway's most reliable family hits for years, and the concept is simple: bubble science turned into spectacle with lights, lasers and fog. Bubbles float over the audience, and volunteers can end up inside one. If you have kids who need a first theatre show, this is the least intimidating pick in Midtown.
What to expect
Expect bubble tricks, music, lights and audience participation in an intimate Off-Broadway theatre, with bubbles drifting out over the seats. Some audience members may be invited on stage, and kids of all ages tend to reach for the floating bubbles.
