Adventure! Imagination! Music! The Hangar Theatre has done it again! They’ve blown me away
with Yo Vikings! The first show of this year’s Kiddstuff season.
Bunnicula
Hare and Tortoise
Yo Vikings! Is the tale of Emma, a charming, imaginative 5th
grader who has a tendency to embody every new subject she learns about, much
to the chagrin of her teacher, classmates, and sometimes family. Always looking
for adventure, Emma’s life is changed when the librarian helps her discover the
world of the Vikings. With some determination (and help from brother Ollie),
she sails on to win the hearts of her school and town.
It may take a while for Emma the Red to bring her friends around,
but the Hangar audience was won over before the first song has ended. The play itself is finely crafted by Marcus
Stevens (book and lyrics) and Sam Willmott (music), and based on a book (and inspired by a true story!) by Judy Schachner. Skillfully directed and
choreographed, this production is rounded out with a talented and engaging cast. Yo Vikings! is possibly the best
Kiddstuff Show I’ve seen at the Hangar! If this is a taste of the season to
come, I cannot wait! We brought along my son’s 5 year old friend, who had never
seen live theatre before. As the show ended, I think he summed it up perfectly,
“That. Was. Awesome!”
Yo Vikings! Is sold out for Friday’s performances, but there
are still tickets available for Saturday. All tickets are just $9 each. Tickets
can be purchased online at the Hangar Box office, or by calling 607.273.ARTS ( 2787).The
rest of Hangar’s Kiddstuff Season are listed below. This season’s Mainstage
productions also have one show that is kid friendly, “Around the World in 80
Days” (recommended for around 8 and up), playing June 26-July 5.
