3.4 Tons of Bubble Solution Stolen - Off-B'way Show In Trouble?#1

What in the world would anybody do with nearly three and a half tons of soap bubbles?!?!?! Is there a black market for this stuff?


NEW YORK (AP) — The bubble might have burst for off-Broadway's "Gazillion Bubbles Show." Someone has stolen the show's specialized soapy bubble solution, which takes two months to make.

A show spokesman says 3.4 tons of bubble solution and 6,000 toys went missing in the June 10 break-in at a Hoboken, N.J., warehouse.

The show has only six weeks worth of solution on hand to make the air-filled globes of soapy film...

Really, who would want or need that many bubbles?

Seems like it's the wharehouses fault so that should replace the solution...

That really annoys me. This is such a wonderful show for children and families, and it's one of the few shows that is having a healthy life at New World Stages. I hope they don't have to close because of this.

THIS IS TRAGIC!

I mean this in all seriousness, "Gazillion Bubble Show" is fantastic! If you haven't seen it yet, do it! It's not only an excellent treat for families of 1-9 year olds (and that's rare in Midtown)... but no lies, it is a FANTASTIC SHOW for adults.

I don't know what it is that's so fascinating about bubbles, but paired with music and a killer laser light show, it's soooo much fun!

If this show has to shutter because of stolen solution, that's just utterly upsetting!

IF YOU CAN, GO SEE THIS SHOW NOW!!!

ALL press statements clearly say that 'Performances Will Not Be Effected'
Relax.
Just watch your neighbours bathroom for extra bubbles at bath time!
