Kids in Adelaide Review
★★★★★What do you look for when choosing a show for your kids at Adelaide Fringe? Bubbles? Big Bangs? Music? Jokes? Fart jokes? If you said all of the above, then The Alphabet of Awesome Science is the show for you.
This high-energy and non stop performance seamlessly blends science experiments with kid style comedy and plenty of audience interaction, keeping kids engaged from start to finish. Working through the alphabet, each letter brings a new scientific surprise packed with laughs, exciting reactions and plenty of “wow” moments.
The fast pace kept the audience hooked, making it ideal for primary school aged kids, though my 13-year-old also thoroughly enjoyed it. Kids who are curious about science and how things work will particularly love this show. Honestly, why don’t they teach science like this at school?
The show is incredibly slick, and it’s clear many hours of rehearsal have gone into creating such a polished performance.
A small warning for parents, you will probably end up a little bit wet, a little bit windswept or picking a few rice bubbles out of your hair. What other show can you say that about?
If you’re looking for a Fringe show that combines learning, laughter and high-energy, The Alphabet of Awesome Science ticks all the boxes. A solid, supercharged and STEM-tastic 5 stars from us!
