On Thursday September 12, 2008, I took my 4 year old son to see The Green Sheep at The New Victory Theater.

The show was about the green sheep that no one could find. Along the way the audience is introduced to all different kind of sheep. There were red sheep, blue sheep, bath sheep, car sheep, train sheep (which my son loved the best), every type of sheep there is.

The best thing about the show is that it’s very interactive. When you first arrive children are given crayons and a picture of a sheep to color. When the show is ready to start everyone is moved into a big sheep den, it does not matter where you sit because the sheep are all around the den, so everyone has the perfect seat. The performers come into the den from time to time to make the audience feel even more involved. In the end of course they find the green sheep. But that’s not the end of the experience because then the audience can walk around and touch or play with all the sheep. They can listen to one of the performers read the story the performance was based on or they can play the instruments that were used in the performance.

The Green Sheep is a perfect show for toddlers and preschoolers because it is so interactive and at 45 minutes, it’s just long enough to keep their short attention spans interested. My son loved it so much that I am going back to see it again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
