Dodger Stages - 340 W50th St.

Ever wondered how abstract puppet theater would look like, or MTV for classical music or music for the royal underwater fireworks? Performed in a giant fish-tank on stage to the sound-track of Hector Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique, this puppet show is anything but usual. I had seen it during its original run at HERE in SoHo and now at this new midtown off-broadway theater complex. Unfortunately, this second time was somewhat painful, at least for my left ear exposed to an overdriven speaker. Despite the MTV analogy, this isn't heavy-metal - it helps drive the speakers at no more than 50% of their peak!
