The message of their show is all about living your best life — or as they encourage their followers to “slurp the noodle of life!” and people are all for it.
- “This show is a full-on sensory experience! Such a treat for the eyes and ears, with surprises popping from every direction. I was afraid to blink for fear I’d miss something!”— Mindy Thomas, program director at SiriusXM’s Kids Place Live
- “Truly one of the oddest and most compelling afternoons of unbridled silliness I may have ever experienced.” — Darren Critz, director of performing arts for Symphony Space in NYC
Presented as part of the Melissa & Doug Children’s Series! Every Wednesday during the Summer Season! Children are welcome to visit the Melissa & Doug Hospitality Tents and enjoy complimentary face-painting for kids (while supplies last)!
