The Aluminum Show

Steel yourself for this space-age mix of Blue Man Group, Cirque and Stomp. The offbeat production is no musical, although music is part of it. "The Aluminum Show" is a combination of dance, design, optical illusion, visual gag, sculpture, puppeteering and pantomime.

It's the next attraction in the Broadway series at the Victoria Theatre running March 9-21. More »
