An Amazing Story of Magic & Comedy About an Egg
This egg-straordinary show, written all by himself by Magic Phil, is a family pantomime like no other and is packed with his characteristic laughter, outrageous humor, highly catchy singalong lyrics, real magic and continual audience engagement. The participative framework will have both parents and kids laughing, clapping and jeering from the very first curtain call to the last. However, there is much unrest brewing in the rural town of Fluffington so things are not all that peaceful.
The horrible monster, Baron Von HardBoil, is going to take over the entire village. But Fairy Poppins is a kind-hearted magical fairy who has trouble sticking to the classic storyline since she keeps mixing together all of her favorite fairy tales. Then, to everyone’s surprise, Priscilla, Mother Goose’s favorite pet goose, starts to lay actual golden eggs and the narrative takes a fantastic and exciting turn. Mother Goose is immediately swept up in crazy delusions of fame, grandeur and vast fortune, and she begins to lose sight of what actually matters in life. With the help of Magic Phil’s wise advice, tickets starting from AED 79, the community finally learns the poignant lesson that true friendship, loving family and genuine compassion are worth more than all the wealth in the world.
The Amazing Interactive Experience
The amusing narrative and great comedic timing are only the start. The main distinction of the theatrical presentation is the entire freedom for the audience to become totally involved. There will be no shortage of opportunities to cheer the heroes, hiss the villain’s dastardly machinations, and boo him loudly, and laugh out loud at the nonstop assault of silly gags. When Magic Phil is in full flow on stage, expect plenty of unexpected gasps, laughing and classic “Oh no he didn’t” moments. This is a really dynamic, wonderfully wholesome theatrical presentation made just for the purpose of creating lasting family experiences in a very unique atmosphere.
