I Theatre–Grimm’s Fairy Tales Review
Last Saturday, Nathan got to watch his first ever full length musical—Grimm’s Fairy Tales by I Theatre. According to the show synopsis, it promised to transport the kids into the magical world of fairy tales through energetic physical theatre, music, mask, puppetry and song. As a treat, we brought along Nathan’s cousins—Nana (5yo) & Zane (3yo).
I admit I was a little concerned that little Zane won’t be able to sit through the 1.5hr show (that sounds really long in his vocab!) and my sister was worried that the villains in the stories would frighten the kids. After all, they were going to watch Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, The Valiant Little Tailor and Little Red Riding Hood and others come to life. (Think the wicked witch & the Big Bad Wolf)
Well, all our worries were in vain! The show was so entertaining that the kids wanted to watch it again! They enjoyed the singing, the VERY VERY funny jokes (quote & unquote), the silliness in some characters and generally they just loved the show! I can’t tell you more without bringing in any spoilers! But trust me, they remained seated, they weren’t fidgety, and they certainly weren’t frightened. I know your kids would love the show too.
Here’s showing you some snippets of the show!

That looks like so much fun! I like that the show is only 90 minutes, too.
I'd love to take my daughter to the theater. Maybe next year.
This looks like a fun show for the entire family. Thanks for sharing

How adorable!!! I’ve actually NEVER been to a theater show at all 🙁 I know, it’s sad. I would really love to go see at least one.
How cute. It looks like it was a great show. I haven't been to the theater in a long time. I need to work on that.

I took the boys to a theater for a show a while back and they really enjoyed it. I think it's time for another.

It seems that we have all moved to things like movies and tv shows. I am glad to see a live play for kids – something where they can almost feel a part of the action.

I love live theater.
I bet that was a good performance to watch. It has been too long since I have seen a live show. 🙁
