puppetry

This pageant of puppetry includes a flutter of butterflies, a goat with a plaintive bleat, a menagerie of wild animals and, at one point, a school of glowing fish.

“Our brains are so accepting of puppetry, even when you see the puppeteer above the puppet, your brain can so easily just tune them out and be like: This thing is alive,” says Saxon.

A mix of songs, puppetry and some robotic figures, the show is simple — its title spells it out — but it’s cute and celebrates the power of family and community.

But this is not a story about children’s television, though the details of the production and the puppetry are convincing enough.

The cast will perform songs and numbers featuring the Broadway production’s costumes, set design and puppetry.
