New York City is the place to be for live theater! As a mom I especially love programming that attracts young children to the theater, and that’s why I love the programs at the New Victory Theater. Friday night my family and I attended the New Victory and watched Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, a Kidoons/ WYRD production. To say it was amazing doesn’t even begin to give this production the credit it deserves, I should add inspiring, creative, mysterious, thought-provoking, and lots of fun for all.
About Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea:
This modern reinvention of the science fi ction classic, the source of countless fi lm, comic book and graphic novel adaptations, now comes to brilliant life in this stunning, all-new theatrical production. The story follows Jules, a 36-year-old doctoral student, whose favorite novel happens to be Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, writing a thesis on the dark future that awaits the earth’s oceans and mankind. When Jules begins to sink into the depths of despair, he fi nds himself transported into the heart of his favorite story in search of a dangerous sea creature, alongside Professor Aronnax and Ned Land. See what mysteries await when Jules—now at the helm of the story’s narrative—and his shipmates are taken captive aboard the Nautilus, and drawn deeper and deeper into the nefarious Captain Nemo’s world.
