t
Octonauts and the Deep Sea Volcano Adventure
New Alexandra Theatre
****
THIS is a brand
new children's stage show from Peppa Pig Live
producers, Fiery Light!
In
Octonauts and the Deep Sea Volcano Adventure
the entire crew of the Octonauts, led by intrepid explorer Captain
Barnacles (“aye, aye captain!”) , Lieutenant Kwazii and Medic Peso,
embark on a new underwater quest ,and visit amazing underwater worlds
full of adventure, with surprises around every corner.
Brim full with songs, audience participation and
action, the show features new music (from BAFTA-award winning composer
Mani Svavarsson).
The licence to produce the stage show was keenly
contested and Company Manager Stephen Brook bravely decided to offer
more than the lowest common denominator to his audience.
There is a strong narrative, jeopardy, science,
laughs and success. Although aimed at pre-school children, the science
will appeal to primary school and is far more ambitious in intent than
Peppa Pig ensuring that the interest of parents and older siblings is
held.
“Protect, explore, rescue” is the motto of the
Octonauts as they explore from their Octopod combining ecology with
science and adventure. The audience, young and old, lapped it up, and
the two thirty minute halves were just right to hold the attention of
the youngsters.
Octonauts and the Deep Sea Volcano to 09-11-14.
