Description

Oh no! The piano has lost its music! But a little girl is sure she can help the piano find it again. Together they set off on a magical adventure... meeting a mad conductor in a mountain, a monk on a scooter at the North Pole and an octopus dancing on the bottom of the sea. They play games and discover clues with all three before at last finding the music in each other’s hearts. I Piano is an interactive kids’ show about music and love, told using a piano, shadow puppetry and everyone in the room.

Just lovely. A clever story that takes you from 1) understanding the notes to 2) looking at the world around you to 3)expressing your emotions. Clever, poignant, and hugely accessible. Both my 9 year old and my 6 year old loved it and both love the piano but struggle to keep practicing and find ‘their music’... this show has provided us with a shared story for finding your own piano voice and adventure... plus the shadow puppetry is charming and beautiful and gives the show a real ‘homemade’ / low-fi style of faery charm. Like most really lovely heart felt art, it’s so simple but often magical. Also, a great venue - an amphitheater made out of dismantled and up cycled pianos.

We saw this delightful show today, the kids loved it and were totally engrossed from start to finish. It is a delightful mix of music, clever and beautiful shadow puppetry and enough audience interaction to keep wriggly children entertained. I enjoyed it as much as the kids! The magical Pianodrome was the perfect setting for this fab show...go see it!

What an absolute delight this show was! My 6 year old and his 5 year old pal and his big sister (8) loved the story of how the piano had lost its music, and the quest to find it again. Told with piano, movement and puppetry. A must-see for every parent and child who loves music, loves the sound of piano played beautifully, or loves the feelings and magic you get from music .... 5 stars! Don't be deterred by the trip to Pianodrome on Pitt Street - it's a secret wonderland!

In the unique setting of the Pianodrome, where the seating is made entirely from upcycled pianos, the only intact one sits in the centre. On closer inspection, someone is sleeping underneath the keyboard. He is the spirit of the piano, and he has lost his music, so little girl Zizi...

Subtle and appealing, this calming and gentle show succeeded in winning the children’s attention. It will appeal to children from 4 – 94. Full of musicality and vitality this is a little gem; and is very highly recommended. Grab it now, ends Sunday!
