The Body Detective Performance Review
A few weeks ago, we were invited by the Center for Puppetry Arts to attend the first performance of 2011 season – The Body Detective. This was the first time I visited the Center for Puppetry Arts let alone watched the performance. So I didn’t know what to expect.. Alright, I was expecting a small puppet show with a guy behind a big box.
Boy, how wrong was I! The Body Detective is a musical performance & puppet show rolled into one that both entertaining and educational at the same time. Created by Jon Ludwig who fascinated with the mysteries of the human body and how they would lend themselves to a film noir-esque puppet who-dunnit.
The show started as a mystery of one detective who was assigned a job. He took us on a journey through our body that both fun and engaging. I have to admit that I did learn something new as well. With the great combination of musical performance, acting and puppet show, this 1 hour long show will keep the whole family on their seat.
What I like most about the show was actually at the end of the performance where they came out and show you how each of the character comes to life!
After the show, you can check out the museum and go up to the workshop to build your own puppet!
