Children’s theatre brings magic and madness

The Bubbles & Mustard Show is coming to the lavish and magical surroundings of the Wintergarden at The Civic. Performed by Auckland’s much-loved children’s theatre company Phineas Phrog Productions, the show is presented as part of the Time Out Theatre for Children at THE EDGE® during the October school holidays.

Full of entertainment for the whole family, The Bubbles & Mustard Show promises to be the wackiest radio show ever.

Written and directed by Sarah Somerville, this new children’s theatre production has been specially commissioned by Time Out Theatre for Children and will have its premiere season at the Wintergarden, from 5 to 10 October.

The audience will be invited on a guided tour of a radio station to meet a goldfish named Bubbles and a white mouse called Mustard. But before long, they’ll find out that they have to provide the zany sound effects for the show!

THE EDGE® Public Programmes Producer Bronwyn Bent says the show is an opportunity to see Phineas Phrog Productions performing something quite different to the company’s previous shows.

“This is a wholly original show, but still uses the techniques and skills that have made past performances so popular with children and adults alike,” she says.

“Children will be delighted by the transformation of the Wintergarden into a theatre set and will be carried away by the interactive and fast-paced show.”

The Bubbles & Mustard Show is where young theatre-goers can meet the cheeky characters, get ready for some noise-making and enter into a theatrical world of radio mayhem.
