| Review: |
The Gazillion Bubble Show, a solo extravaganza creating bubble magic at New World Stages, has a Las Vegas flavor as it starts with a commercial for itself. Then, Ana Yang, a charming bubblemeister, creates wonderful, imaginative images, fascinating shapes and mixes of color with bubbles, including bubbles in bubbles and smoke in bubbles. It’s a rare display of technique, creativity and artistry.
But the variations are subtle, and after an hour I was bubbled out. My twelve year old nephew said, “It’s a bit repetitive.” But then came the spectacular finale: a laser-light show with gazillions of bubbles falling all over us – wow! – fun (if a bit damp). Still, a little less of this unusual show would end up being more.
