Deep within the underworld, two friends, a boy and a dodo, are digging for fresh bones to replace their ancient, skeletal forms which are quickly deteriorating. One day, something miraculous happens. The dodo sprouts new feathers. Soon, a steady transformation begins to unravel the natural order. The great reversal has begun.
But what will happen to the two friends?
Dead as a Dodo was a family-friendly, puppet musical odyssey utilizing humor and magical visual effects to explore some of humanity’s most basic fears and our quest for immortality.
This show was hailed by The New York Times as “ceaselessly inventive.” It was like a Pixar film brought to life on stage.
