Flight (FringeNYC)

See it if physicality between acrobatics and dance appeals to you do not miss this. Willingness to suspend disbelief required. Good for all ages.

Don't see it if you hated The Little Prince, if you need concrete action & characters.

See it if storytelling combined with acrobatic modern dance. Three actors form amazing animals/objects while they relate the fable. Awestruck

Don't see it if You expect a traditional play. Dislike performance pieces. Do not have an imagination. Dislike Cirque de Soleil.

See it if you have kids who are interested in gymnastics; you have some time to kill and you want to be amused.

Don't see it if you are not particularly interested in The Little Prince and gymnastic style dancing bores you.

See it if Interesting retelling of The Little Prince, but possibly too existential for very young and not compelling enough for older kids.

Don't see it if You are expecting Cirque de Soleil-level acrobatics or dance, a fully-realized show, something profound. It's pleasant enough but not great.

Also There were some very lovely moments in this show, but it felt repetitive and too long. Some of the children's theatre aspects were nicely creative and passably staged (although there are no costumes, props or sets if you are expecting those,) but weirdly, that glimpse of cleverness only made me want to see more of it, and it disappointed me that it didn't go further. It seemed as if there was only one whoosh sound effect used over and over, and one acrobatic position which they fell back on as a default. However, the cast was skilled and likable, and if you were with kids, you'd probably enjoy it more than I did. I have loved a lot of children's theater, but found this only okay.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy minimalist theater performed by talented contortionists. A spoken word story in the style of "The Little Prince." Beautifully told

Don't see it if Three actors on stage with almost no props doesn't do it for you. Good for kids 7+ who can grasp abstract concepts. It's a slow piece.

Don't see it if You expect an acrobatic show.The stunts are repetitive,uninspiring Story unfolds slowly. I was bored. Kids will need more action or visuals

See it if You're into "The Little Prince", acrobatics. Small theatre, and family-friendly shows...

Don't see it if Dislike all of the above

See it if if you have children/grandchildren to escort as they might enjoy it the most and benefit from the creative dance/athletics

Don't see it if you are looking from something stimulating, or humorous, or highly entertaining.

Also I did appreciate the level of competency of all three dancers and the ease in which they moved into many shapes. I kept thinking that if my 10 year old grandson was with me, I would enjoy watching him enjoy it (but that is an assumption on my part). There seemed to be too many themes, moves and sounds that were the same.... Read more Read less
