Review This HauntFamily & Friends of all ages for live dance & theater.
Bach in the first act and Mariachi in the second with a bit of imaginative puppetry. Perfect for adult children with their parents as well as friend groups and family groups of all ages. A great way to celebrate Halloween and Dia de los Muertos in a theater setting.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Fun show for Halloween
This is a fun production with two story ballets that both use a bit of humor and a bit of drama to tell their stories. Headless Horseman has just enough chill factor to feel appropriately Halloweeny. And Viva La Vida is high energy and full of colorful costumes inspired by Day of the Dead. Each story is a reasonable length so families with relatively young children can attend and enjoy.
