Addy & Uno

See it if You have a young child to entertain and want a warm hearted show with a good message about bullying and inclusiveness

See it if You are interested in a puppet show for kids with a great message about diversity and tolerance. Highly recommended for children.

Don't see it if You don't like puppets, musicals, or diversity. This is upbeat, but with a serious message.

See it if You enjoy well-crafted children's theatre targeting issues like bullying and self-confidence when you might be different.

Don't see it if You want something edgy. You prefer children's theatre that feels crafted for adults as much as children (sorta Muppets vs Sesame Street)

See it if you'd like to support a show where kids with disabilities are represented, with a great cast that empathizes with the children they play.

Don't see it if You don't have 3-8 year olds. It's a simplistic storyline about overcoming anxieties due to kindness and friendship.

Also I am very happy there is representation and it is definitely coming from a good place. I am also very happy that the creator consulted adults with the disabilities portrayed (according to this article: https://themighty.com/2017/09/addy-and-uno-play-disabilities/ ) That said, there were a few things that bugged me a bit - the hearing impaired character can "see more," a stereotype I've heard some complaints about. Math is a somewhat stereotypical choice of interest. The two characters with hearing impairments decide they're just like each other based entirely on their hearing impairment (maybe this is realistic?). It seems as though there were no disabled people in the creative team or cast. All this said, I don't have the disabilities in question either, and I'd love to know more about the people with disabilities that consulted on this project. I'd love to see them in the program!... Read more Read less

See it if you like kids' shows and want one with an amazing message about being accepting of others, told in an Avenue-Q style of puppetry.

Don't see it if You don’t have the attention span for length and shifts in time. The years move forward and past continuously. Requires focus and attention.

Also This is an intelligent play which makes you want to go home and learn more. Yes, some facts are fake news but the overall subject is real. The nitty gritty went down. Isaac Babel and his fate happened.... Read more Read less

See it if You have young children. It's about kids with disabilities, about being kind and accepting others who may be different. Great songs, actors.

Don't see it if you're afraid of puppets. Yes, that's the only thing I have to say because this show is really amazing.

Also Talking about disabilities to children can be a real trap. But they found the perfect balance to do a clever show, easy to understand for the kids, and with a message also strong for adults and teenagers.
My 2 kids (3 and 6) and I laughed danced and had a wonderful time. It's definitely one of the best show for kids that I've ever seen.

Because nothing is perfect, I may say that this show (because of the topic) should be subtitled for deaf and hard of hearing. This show talk about disabilities and should be accessible for everybody.... Read more Read less
