Blink’s Garden
Fat Blue Productions—Kids Venue: MTYP – Mainstage
A lovely gem of a musical, this one hour play follows Blink in her quest to see over the wall while tending to her rejected and lonely seeds. Don’t worry, it’s not a Trump musical (although there are a few jokes thrown in about the reference). The music was fantastic and featured beautiful harmonies. If your worried that this play is only for kids, there were quite a few jokes that had only the adults howling. It is a very cute show that both you and your kids will enjoy. The play was also followed by a delightful talk moderated by John Janzen (the plays writer and creator) who stressed the importance of difference for a healthy garden/community. I did like the play but mic issues as well as generally quiet performers led to quiet a few volume issues. It was hard for me at times to understand what was going on because I couldn’t hear. Working on projecting volume as well as investing in a few more microphones for the younger performers might have helped. All in all a cute musical with a delightful cast and important message of acceptance. A great one for the whole family.
