About the Show

This new Brazilian musical tells tells the story of a young boy from a small town who no longer remembers his own name, and his new friend, Mr. Out of Water, as they embark on a journey to find the sea.

From the show:

The award-winning Brazilian musical Out of Water is coming to New York City following a critically acclaimed run in Brazil in 2018. Hailed as “A gem yet to be discovered” by Estadão Newspaper, Out of Water: A Brazilian Pocket Musical (meaning it runs 80 minutes with no intermission) will play 11-shows only between August 10 and September 1 at TADA! Theater (12 W. 28th Street).

Set in a very small city in the middle of nowhere in Brazil, *Out of Water* tells the tale of Kid (to be played by Eduardo Medaets), a young boy who no longer remembers his own name, and his new friend, Mr. Out of Water, as they embark on a journey to find the sea. Along the way, the two friends stumble upon various traditional Brazilian characters who guide them to overcome the biggest fears known to man, giving new meaning to their lives and their journey.

Delightful, Enchanting, Profound

See it if you want a small scale pocket musical that ends with a profound punch.

Don't see it if you expect everything good, clever, and beautiful to come in the same packaging. Read more

Cliched, Delightful, Entertaining

See it if It is a cute little show for 75 minutes with three charming actors and a bit of Brazil in it.

Don't see it if It’s a show more for the kids than adults. The same message of “fear” keep on repeating.

Refreshing, Quirky, Clever, Absorbing

See it if some nice talent, interesting tale. fish lovers will enjoy it. Brazil info arises.

Don't see it if why are sets moved, moved, moved and moved again

Entertaining, Funny, Delightful, Clever, Absorbing

See it if you like childrens theater

Don't see it if you dont like musicals

Diffuse, Upbeat, Personable, Undistinguished, Pleasant

See it if you’d like to see a pleasant enough musical for kids, except it’s for adults.

Don't see it if you are looking for a play with breadth or depth. Read more

Earnest, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if Simple fishtail of Brasilian boy and aquatic friend's search for memory and a new wet home.Relying on companion who needs you gives purpose.

Don't see it if A parable. A parable without talented actors and writing, invites comparison to an earnest, well-intentioned musical kiddie show.

Clever, Intelligent, Great singing, Thought-provoking, Entertaining

See it if you like exposure to work from other countries. It has some nice tunes and a trio of Brazilian actors who have good voices on a minimal set.

Don't see it if you really want a musical - it's a play with songs. It is not really focused toward adults or young children though it has nice messages. Read more

Insipid, Funny, Slow, Refreshing, Enchanting

See it if you enjoy an English version of a sweet, naive ethnic parable probably most appropriate for young school age children

Don't see it if you are bored by linear tales with simple sweet themes, messages, songs from perspective of young boy, or cannot sit 90 min. w/out interval Read more
