Kid’s shows can be very difficult. If anything, they are the harder audience, since their attention span at times can be low. You either keep them entertained or you will have them running up the aisles followed by embarrassed parents doing as much as they can to keep their young ones still.
The Greatest Bubble Show on Earth has a fantastic premise, but it is a pity that it despite a great claim in its title doesn’t deliver. If this is the greatest bubble show, then maybe bubbles are much more boring than we all thought. That’s not to say that the show is awful, or dull on the extreme, it’s just that, after the initial fantastic twenty minutes, the rest of becomes repetitions on what you have already seen. And there is only so many times that a kid will pop bubbles before he/she wants to move to something else.
There are some amazing stunts during the show, like putting a kid inside a gigantic bubble, or creating some incredible figures with soap bubbles, but this are far between, and don’t really make up for the rest of the show.
The idea of having the compare not talk, is an ill move, since this limits the interaction he can have with the audience. He does have a note pad with some word written in it (clap, kiss, laugh…), but after he points at the writing for umpteenth time, you wish he would just tell you what to do.
The idea is fantastic, but the stunts are a bit lacking, making the audience loose a bit of interest in what’s going on in stage and instead focusing on those kids who keep running, slightly bored, around the aisles.
3/5
