The show, held in Bahrain for the first time, proved very popular, attracting huge crowds of local and regional audiences. The Kingdom now joins more than 30 countries and 120 cities that have hosted this show, which won the Time Out, Olivier and Drama Desk awards for the most unique theatrical experience.
Dr. Ramesh Punnen, a resident of Bahrain who attended the performance with his family, enthused, “the children didn’t stop laughing. It was really exciting, especially as the performers interacted with the audience in creative ways using instruments and colours that overwhelmed everyone, both children and adults.”
Jolly Jacob also attended the show along with her family. “We had a great time and the children really enjoyed the many diverse elements of this performance. We thank the organizers of the Bahrain Summer Festival for hosting this show,” she said.
Ahmed Abdulfattah, a visitor from Saudi Arabia who brought his family to Bahrain to attend Slava’s SNOWSHOW, commented: “It’s an excellent show that really deserves to be seen. Now that we have seen the programme and enjoyed this performance, we are considering coming back to watch other shows within the festival.”

Other shows planned as part of the Bahrain Summer Festival, which continues until 15 July, include the Wooden Circus by Karromato; renowned Turkish musician, Omar Faruk Tekbilek; Saudi rapper Qusai aka Don Legend the Kamelion in collaboration with DJ Outlaw and Flipperachi; a concert by the young local talent, Hala Alturk, and performances of the UK family favourite, The Sound of Music.
