Recently, my son and I had the opportunity to see The Ohmies at The Peter Jay Sharp Theater on West 42nd Street between 9th and 10th Avenue. And, boy did we have a great time!

As we entered the theater, we entered Ohm Land and were immediately introduced to The Ohmies, a butterfly, a grasshopper, a caterpillar, a puppy dog, and a Spanish-speaking snake.

While trying to find Mr. Sun to help their wish garden grow, The Ohmies encounter several obstacles. And the lessons that they learn are sure to teach the kiddies a lesson… or five.

For instance, if The Ohmies weren’t teaching us about the canine family, metamorphosis, and scientific terminology, they were showing us how to work together as a team or be super and loyal friends.

The show provides the perfect combination of interactive entertainment and engagement – the audience is invited to sit on the set, get moving, and let their imaginations run wild as they sing and dance to original music. Flying like a butterfly, hopping like a grasshopper, slithering like a snake, and helping The Ohmies shake off the worries has never been more fun!

Only an hour long, the show is the perfect length of time for children (ages 3-8 years old) and adults alike. The show will run from Saturday, July 23rd until Sunday September 25th and performances will take place on Thursdays (10am, 12pm, 3pm), Saturdays (12pm, 3pm), and Sundays (3pm).

And to add to the fun, children and parents are invited to meet the cast for pictures and conversation immediately after the show! Love it!

“The kids had no clue, but as I sat in the row of seats and watched my kids do the downward dog through play participation, I couldn’t help but realize how brilliant this show really is.”

“For my son (and me) being able to interact with the story and characters was one of the best parts.”

“Interactive musical performers The Ohmies invite kids to “dance, stretch, and giggle” their way to the front of the stage for an exciting new act, “The Ohmies: Morning Wish Garden!” Through a fun combination of dancing, yoga poses, and tumbling, kids can help The Ohmies coax Mr. Sun to come out so their garden of wishes may grow.”

Out With The Kids
by Jeff

“The Ohmies Morning Wish Garden is a unique musical where toddlers are not only allowed to wiggle, slide, bounce and test the personal space of those around them – they’re encouraged to!”

“The Ohmies gets kids moving. There is no other show in the city where you will see all of the children engaged in the show as they sing, dance, stretch, and laugh as they participate from their spaces on fitness mats in front of the stage.”

“Cocreators Laurie Miller and Ben Tollefson have a background in children’s television (their credits include gigs with Noggin’s Oobie and PBS Kids’ Word World). Clearly they hope the Ohmies will be the next big brand. Judging from how engaged the kids were, they just may be.”
