So disappointed with Octonauts Live. Very little production value, audio timing did not match the character movements, and "creature alert" song was missing. Poor story held together by multiple fart jokes. Definitely not the TV show. Save your money!
This was a wonderful show that had my 5 and 3 year olds captivated and my 3 month old as well.
Firstly, the venue was filthy. The seats were sticky and gross, like it was always used for concerts witha ton of drinking. Secondly, this was a show targeted for the "under 5" crowd and it started at 5 pm on a Sunday evening. Why was this not a matinee? Likely so that they could charge exorbitant prices for the tickets, which leads me to my last point. The production was on par with a high school version of "Annie." They must not own the rights to the Octonauts music from the show, because the fan favorite tunes that my child wo would have known were absent from the event. The actors were not even performing the songs or lines live, but rather the sound guy was cueing and playing the dialogue. I only know this because we sat directly behind the sound board, in front of the light booth which had the overhead light left on for the better part of 30 minutes until I said something to an usher. Disappointing all around, luckily my toddler loved it but parents beware!
My daughter enjoyed most of the show but honestly the props werent amazing or the story line interesting. It was kind of a musical with cheap props with a 15 minute break in between. Dissaponted for the priced paid and the show quality.
This show was like a low budget or "B Movie". For the price of the ticket I expected a lot more out of the production. The stage and sets were poorly done, there was not enough adherence to the normal show. The story line could have been better. Certainly expected more when asked to pony up >$100 per ticket.
The costumes were perfect! Great show for kids! Explore, Rescue, Protect! We loved the creatures from the midnight zone!
Very good seats. Son saw it all. Son was engaged the whole time. I like 15 minute intermission.
The Octonaut's Volcano Adventure was a great surprise for our kids. We are big fans of the Octonauts so hearing they were in town was a big treat. The live stage show was a perfect alternative to the typical video performance - interactive, entertaining and lots of fun. Two friends came with us who didn't know about the Octonauts and had a blast. Learning about sea life, the dangers of underwater volcanoes and how a team can work together - makes for a great learning experience and fun evening. I'd recommend the Octonauts for adventurous fan big and small.
If you haven't seen it, it's a must! This is one of the best children's show I've seen. The show is interactive and gets the children engaged from the get go. It was clear that Captain Barnacles and his crew were engaging and loved by all. There is a lot of visual appeal as well. Lots of video visuals, as well as beautiful puppeteering. Absolutely loved Captain Barnacles, the sea creatures (especially the jelly fish) and use of black lighting. It's clear that there was a great deal of thought and preparation put into the show. We saw the show in Santa Barbara and loved it and the venue. Absolutely recommend taking the kids to see it!
We took our almost 4 year old and our 1 year old. We were nervous about baby's first show and about 4yo ability to focus with all the kids around (it was our first kids' show). They were both totally engaged the ENTIRE time!! Baby never took his eyes off the stage and applauded and cheered at all the right moments!! Big brother was TOTALLY into it, too! The cast were a pleasure to listen to and to watch! The were entertaining for the whole family. We are seriously considering trying to catch another show before the tour is thru!
My son enjoys Octonauts a lot when he watches it on tv, so when my wife and I heard Octonauts Live was coming to a theatre near enough to us, we jumped at the chance to go. We had the VIP experience where he could meet some characters after the show, which was fun. But most importantly, the show was GREAT! The theatre was packed and kids seemed really into what was going on on stage. The actors were lively, they sounded like the characters from the show, it was just a really fun time and my son was shouting at the stage much of the time. If you've got children who love Octonauts or even those who don't know it but want to have a good time, go see this show!
Loved the show .. Well put on and very cute set and costumes .. Only bad thing was the sound .. It was almost like they had a young crew who were just learning hadn't bothered with a sound check .. The background noise was so distracting that at times you couldn't hear the characters . Because of the terrible sound I think a lot of young kids lost focus which was a shame as it really could have been an excellent show .. Hope the producers actually read this as its meant to be constructive !
My four year old grandson was amazed and entertained by this. He loved the interaction with the audience! When we left all he could talk about was that he was now officially an 'Octonaut' Great performance for young children (even some old ones). His smile was ear to ear during most of the show!!!
The show was cute, the kids enjoyed. It did not start on time nor resume on time after intermission, the whole audience full of kids was getting restless. However, the "EXPLORER PARTY" was a complete WASTE of money. There were NO games for the kids as was promised, even in the confirmation email, the two activities were coloring pages and origami sailor hats, self-directed. And a handful of balloons for the kids to chase around. There were NO snacks as promised, the only snacks were in our "gift" a plastic bucket with the "Octonauts Live" logo, each bucket had one small pack of goldfish and one other small snack pack. Certainly nothing of any substance, certainly not worth the money. The photo op was fine but not worth it either.
The show kept my 2 and 3 year old engaged the whole time! Great show.
My daughter's 3 & 4 1/2 had a great time, they thought they were there to see a movie , to their surprise the characters were alive and right in front of them.
Great show, fun for the kids. A little disappointment they didn't play "Creature Report" but overall fun night.
The kids really enjoyed the show! The staff were friendly
