A highly entertaining mix of slapstick, gymnastics and martial arts. The first half lacked structure, though it served to introduce the different characters in the “family”. Valiant members of the audience were also dragged up on stage.
The second half was much more fun, with a comic story-line to hold things together. Knowing references were made to films such as the Matrix and some of your favourite Hong Kong kung fu movies, and a grand finale of jumps, backflips and other party pieces brought the evening to a rousing conclusion.
The best night out I’ve had in quite a while.

Jump is incredible. I highly recommend it.
However – don’t pay the full price – Join Theater Mania Gold for $89.00 a year and you’ll get incredible discounts on tickets to various shows. Trust me – you’ll thank me for that information.
