Question 1

Is it in English?

Accepted Answer

No. The whole show, songs included, is performed in Slovak, in a translation by Petr Gazdík and Ivana Vaňková. Kids who know the book or the 1996 Danny DeVito film can follow the story without the words.

Question 2

Can a younger sibling sit on my lap?

Accepted Answer

No. Every child needs their own ticket, and the theater sells a child ticket for this show.

Question 3

Will my kid sit through three hours?

Accepted Answer

It runs 180 minutes with one intermission, a long stretch for a 7-year-old. The 2pm and 5pm weekend shows end well before bedtime; the 7pm Friday shows finish around 10pm.

Question 4

Is every show sold out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As of October 30, every date through December 20 shows as sold out on the theater's site. The Nová scéna program page lists any new dates, and the box office answers on weekdays (11am to 2pm and 3pm to 7pm) at +421 2 204 88 500.
