SPACE VACATION,
The sci-fi musical comedy for the whole family.
What's it about? On a distant planet, a little boy and his family rent a rocket to take
what turns out to be an adventurous inter-galactic summer vacation.
This is above all a happy, fun, and energetic show that makes people feel joyful and uplifted.
The theme of the show? "The Universe Is Like A Song"
"Uni" means "one", and "verse" means "song". Universe. One song.
