Opera Mouse

Sisterscene For Kids—Kids Venue

I have had high praise for Melanie Gall’s adult theatrical efforts in the past. Great stage presence, a professional opera singer with an amazing voice, what could go wrong?

I brought three children with me, two of whom are already Fringe veterans and musically trained. The youngest started off attentive, but ended up rolling on the floor, while the older two stayed tuned for the whole show, and both agreed, “good but not great.”

The plot is sweet and her puppetry very able, but too much time spent getting every audience member’s opinion led to the show dragging in spots. I feel tightening this up, and picking up the pace, would help hold everyone’s attention.
