Imagination key to success of 'Room on the Broom'

This "Room on a Broom" production sounds like a charming piece of theatre that really tries to get the young audience involved in the story. I like how the story is about friends camping in the woods and how the audience is somehow part of that story. I think the kids will really enjoy that! Don't you remember being a kid and reaching out to touch the 3D movie or seeing a show and not wanting to sit still. what they are doing with the costumes sounds really interesting because they are going for a somewhat of a minimalist style. I would have never thought to do this for children's theatre but the reason they gave about how those types of costumes helps the young audience get into their imaginations even more is pretty interesting. Its cool how they chose to use puppets in their productions but I wonder how they decide what animal will be a puppet and what animals will be portrayed by actors. Overall, if i were a kid, I think I would really enjoy this show!
