About the Show

Through puppets and soaring music, this heartfelt and comic musical for families explores disability, kindness, and resilience.

As Uno, a child with autism, faces the challenge of competing in his school's math competition, his friends with varying disabilities—ADHD, vision, hearing, and physical impairment—rally in support. Told with 'Avenue Q'-style puppets and heartfelt songs, it's an inspiring journey about the values of kindness, differences, and big dreams. Individuals with disabilities are so unseen and unheard across media, especially children's media. 'Addy & Uno' is giving a voice to kids who are different, and inspiring a new generation of kinder people. Based on the Realabilities Educational Comic Book Curriculum.

Great singing, Relevant, Lovely kid show, Delightful

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

Don't see it if You’re not with kids or bringing kids afraid of puppets. That being said the actors are clearly visible and it’s very absorbing for 2-9 yo

See it if you want to see a family musical geared to younger children under age 10 about relevant topics: bullying and children with disabilities.

Don't see it if you're not interested in puppet shows geared for children

For a previous production

"What the world needs now is love, sweet love – and now we’ve got 'Addy & Uno' to help spread the word about friendship, kindness, and how it’s definitely nice to be nice! As an added bonus, it also makes math fun...No matter how old you are, you’ll see a bit of yourself in these puppets and you’ll leave the theater with a fresh new sense of optimism...Your kids will love 'Addy and Uno' – and so will you – truly a show that came along exactly when it was needed most."
