    Stampeding elephants! Raging typhoons! Runaway trains! Unabashedly high-spirited fun! This globe-trotting epic is the original Amazing Race. Fearless adventurer Phileas Fogg has agreed to an outrageous wager that puts his life and fortune at risk. With his loyal French manservant, Passepartout, by his side, Fogg sets off to circumnavigate the globe in a mere 80 days. To complicate matters, the bumbling, inept lawman, Detective Fix, has mistaken Fogg for a notorious bank robber and tenaciously dogs Fogg’s footsteps around the globe. The tension builds as danger, romance and hilarious surprises abound in this whirlwind adventure across seven continents.

        It never ceases to amaze me the way a few technical tricks can really set a tone of magic and whimsy for a show. This was a GREAT journey, a wonderful production with some fantastic talent working with a killer script! What a fun night. Really, I was GRINNING and laughing out loud and even at 33, having been involved on and backstage all my life, found myself amazed with the absolute genius of the set design. That and the transformations from character to character were phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this one please. Great for kids over 8 I'd say, the language is a bit of a challenge, lots of accents but I think over 8 with all the visual fun, it would be quite enjoyable for the whole family! Collapse
