Pleasance
This highly interactive show is run by the same team as behind the popular Edinburgh music classes Monkey Music. Like the classes, the show is theatrical, full of song, interactive music opportunities and fun props for the children to play and engage with throughout.
Moon Dragon is a puppet who sleeps, wakes, is joined by his unicorn and frog friends and then eventually by the moon. All characters sing their way through the show accompanied by Corina on harp ,with the audience given a chance to lend their own voices. The original, live music is a treat, where the majority of children’s shows have recorded music.
Rachael and her young sidekick, who is particularly popular with the children, do a great job keeping their audience entertained throughout. The energy and enthusiasm that all three characters have for the performance and their young audience shine through – plus flashing lights, starlit canopies, wings and maracas (spoiler) never fail to engage the little ones in my experience!
A well spent morning for smaller ones.
