Review: Into the Water

Walking into the venue we saw two characters lying on the floor with bears heads on and various props on stage, who knew what to expect but the bear heads certainly grabbed the kids attention. The show starts and one bear wakes up and takes his bear head off, he is confused to where he is and not sure who the other bear is, he wakes him up and the journey of their friendship begins… the show transforms into the two characters going on an adventure and discovering objects and situations together. There are 2 characters and it is all performed to music, there is no dialogue. The music is upbeat and foot tapping and the chemistry and relationship between the two performers is mischievous and electric. They bounce off each other and are extremely likeable and immensely talented. There is Irish dancing, hand drumming, hand dancing, footsie dances, high kicks and more. My 3 year old was more interested in climbing over the seats but my 5 year old was fully immersed as was I. A fun, original and inventive show performed with great energy and enthusiasm.
