(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents B-The Underwater Bubble Show on Saturday, March 30 at 2:00pm and 5:00pm. The later show is an Autism-Friendly Relaxed Performance. State Theatre New Jersey’s Autism-Friendly Relaxed Performances allow families with children on the autism spectrum or with other sensory sensitivities to enjoy high quality live entertainment in a safe, welcoming, sensory-friendly environment. Tickets range from $15-$35.
Inspired by childhood standards like Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid, and Peter Pan, B-The Underwater Bubble Show is a modern fairy tale with one major twist. “Each classic tale represents a journey of a kid who grows up and learns something.” A story about an adult character that discovers he can still go back and enjoy life proves we don’t always need to grow up. Sometimes we need to step backwards for a bit and restart.
The show follows Mr. B, a creature of modern habits who feels pressed by a thousand things to do in a world that seems to be moving too fast. The office worker discovers a little aquarium that appears like magic inside his briefcase and gradually becomes enchanted by the wondrous underwater world of Bubblelandia, which is full of seahorses, dragon fish, starfish, mermaids, and other creatures.
Taking cues from Cirque du Soleil, the visually spectacular show incorporates the latest in stage technology. Lasers, smoke, and flying foam simulate waves and the underwater atmosphere. Acts such as jugglers, dancers, mimes, and acrobats are sure to wow audiences of all ages. However, the biggest attraction of the show is the spectacular use of soap bubbles. Director Enrico Pezzoli and bubble artist/spouse, Dace Pezzoli have toured the world as a duo act for nearly 20 years working with the form, including a performance at the Sochi Olympics.
Developed over two years, The Bubbielandia journey debuted in October 2011 with a pair of shows in Italy that drew in more than 5,000 spectators. It has since toured major theaters across Switzerland, Kaliningrad, lndonesia, Russia, and Lebanon. Revised and enriched version made its UK and UAE debut in 2015 at the Blackpool Tower Circus and the Al Rayyan Theater in Doha, Qatar respectively. The show made its U.S. tour debut in 2016, selling out venues across the country.
