Throw in some lights, laser and music, and it all comes together to create one marvelous spectacle. And apart from simply watching and observing the scene on the stage, children even get the chance to experience the bubble-magic firsthand as they are invited onstage to participate! The entire performance builds up to the climax which is bound to take your breath away.
New World Stages
The Gazillion Bubble Show takes place at New World Stages, Stage 2. Located in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen neighbourhood, New World Stages is a popular and well-known Off-Broadway performing arts complex. This theatre is famous for playing host to outlandish, quirky and not your typical run-off-the-mill productions like Altar Boyz, Naked Boys Singing and of course, The Gazillion Bubble show.
Interestingly enough, this theater was constructed on the site of New York’s third Madison Square Garden and was initially opened as a multiplex cinema! After going through heavy renovations, it was reopened as Dodger Stages in 2004, before it finally became New World Stages in March, 2006. The theatre today has 5 different stages, with capacities ranging from 199 - 499, thereby making it an off-broadway stage. New World Stages also houses The Green Room, an upscale bar and kitchen, perfect place to get a drink before your show.

Reviews
“The Gazillion Bubble Show presents a fantasy world that hinges on the mystical allure, aesthetic pleasure and spirited promise of precarious pockets of air. While it’s undeniably kooky, the show is a welcome change of pace for kids who are constantly inundated with overtly commercial, Disney-esque entertainment”
- Time Out New York
“Every trick is a treat to watch. The kids watching often yelled out “wow!” and “holy cow!” and sometimes it is hard to restrain yourself from exclaiming out loud as well. The music, lights, and videos that supplement the bubbles make it a real show, but don’t distract from the beauty and awe of the bubble mastery.”
