See it if You like puppetry and scifi
Don't see it if you don't like puppets
See it if You like puppets. If you like relevant theater that is thought provoking and inspiring. If you like futuristic fantasy where love wins?
Don't see it if You don’t like puppets. Weird puppets. “Fighting” that does not end well. If semi sad endings aren’t your thing.
See it if You like puppetry, and you’re in the mood for something whimsical OR serious.
Don't see it if You aren’t open to puppetry, if you have small, sensitive children with you. Read more
See it if you want to witness an amazing Sci-Fi puppet show! This was like watching the Dark Crystal Live. This is a dark show with some great humor!
Don't see it if this show is not for everyone, but I can promise everyone would love the puppetry. It is worth seeing just for that.
See it if You like science fiction and shows that are a bit quirky, out of the box presentation wise. This is beautiful extraordinary storytelling.
Don't see it if You can’t be a little patient to let the full premise/experience of this show bloom. It takes a minute to grasp what they’re saying/doing.
See it if Mind bending, eerie images I’ve never seen in a puppet show before! Stunning, creative use of lighting, sound, staging. Interesting concepts
Don't see it if You don’t like far out, creative puppetry breaking the 4th wall with innovative ideas.
See it if Totally unique, fabulous, & HILARIOUS adult puppet show with mythical creatures & a race to fulfill the prophecy or resign to doom--classic!
Don't see it if Not safe for kids, some dark and scary scenes. Read more
See it if you appreciate experimental theater that involves unique puppetry and out of this world story (pun intended). The child in you is wide awake
Don't see it if you like serious, sensible stuff. This non-sensical plot and story telling may not appeal to the adult in you but it surely is a lot of fun!
Critic Reviews (4)
CRITIC'S PICK! "It's not just that the story is set in a poetically rendered 2555, but that Waage and Warnock, who also directed, blithely ignored the memo about coddling young audiences: Their show, for viewers age 10 and up, does not shy from the violence and death intertwined with life"

“ ‘The Immortal Jellyfish Girl’ makes for ideal far-out experimental theater, with an otherworldly and fully transporting design scheme that evokes a classic Coney Island circus sideshow, ominous political overtones, wacky humor, and unapologetic strangeness – even if the plotting gets confusing.”

“This is perhaps the goriest, most violent show currently playing off-Broadway. It's really not a children's show...’The Immortal Jellyfish Girl’ is here to remind us that nothing is forever, and none of us will likely be around to witness what comes next.”

“ 'The Immortal Jellyfish Girl,' running 80 minutes, is an exceptionally theatrical piece of puppetry, and everyone involved in the production should be credited for this grand collaborative effort...It is a stunningly original theatrical work.”
