(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents B—The Underwater Bubble Show on Saturday, November 25, 2023 at 2:00pm & 5:00pm. This lavish production features dancers, acrobats, puppetry, original music, and fantastic bubble effects to create a dreamlike underwater atmosphere. Tickets range from $19-$39.
Inspired by the famous Canadian troupe Cirque du Soleil, B—The Underwater Bubble Show is a modern fairy tale with one major twist. Office-worker Mr. B discovers a little aquarium that appears like magic inside his briefcase and gradually becomes enchanted by the wondrous underwater world of Bubblelandia. The main character is played by a skillful actor/mime exaggerating his gradual transformation from stressed out modernity to absolute wonder. This visually spectacular show incorporates the latest in stage technology: lasers, low ground smoke, and flying foam simulate waves and the underwater atmosphere.
