The Bear
The Bear - Waterside, Sale - Thursday 5th December 2024
We had an absolutely magical time watching The Bear at the Waterside! From the moment the show began, it was clear this was going to be something special. The puppetry and acting were great—so creative and full of character, making the bear and its antics thoroughly entertaining!
The story follows Tilly and her unexpected visitor, a giant snowy white bear, on an enchanting and often hilarious adventure. The show is packed with dazzling moments: the dreamy music and whimsical storytelling had us all completely hooked. And let’s not forget the snow machine and bubbles—such a clever way to bring the audience into the magic. The kids were squealing with joy!
The Waterside itself is the perfect venue for a family day out. It’s cozy, welcoming, and set up with little ones in mind. The whole experience felt very relaxed and friendly, which made it even more enjoyable for parents.
But the best review? My 4-year-old declaring it was "the best show ever!" Honestly, I’d have to agree. The Bear is a delightful introduction to theatre for children, and even us grown-ups left with big smiles. If you get the chance, don’t miss it!
