Masters of magniloquent mascots, Portland, Oregon’s Imago Theatre builds off the success of its seminal productions FROGZ and Biglittlethings with a new stage show called ZooZoo. To rousing acclaim, their “unique, playful menagerie of creatures” has found a home at Broadway’s New Victory Theater and on a slew of stages the world over. Imago’s acrobatic, full-bodied puppetry has captivated audiences from keiki to kupuna—and ZooZoo’s highlights include gentrified anteaters, posturing penguins, a giant dinosaur and hitchhiking rabbits. Fans should be warned that this show is a little more down-tempo than its predecessors. Nevertheless, Imago Theatre’s visual vignettes are never short on whimsy, weirdness, wit, and wonder—and ZooZoo is sure to delight one and all.
