I am a big fan of The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. It tells the story of how sharing is kind and why it is good to share. I love the story, for it is really meaningful and has a great moral behind the tale. It’s definitely one of my favourites to share with my children as a teacher and as a mom too.
Of course, nothing beats the experience of watching this great story comes alive. Last Saturday, I had the privilege to watch this musical presented by I Theatre.
I Theatre is one of three professional production companies for children’s theatre and the only family focused production Company in Singapore. It aims to produce world-class family focused theatre experiences that are accessible, inspirational, challenging and original.
The Rainbow Fish makes its ultimate return to stage after a 3-year absence. In fact, The Rainbow Fish has been staged six times and has travelled over the world, including India, USA, Australia and United Kingdom.
I was proud to be able to catch this show for its seventh stage appearance. I have always enjoyed theatre plays especially during my primary school days. It was great to be able to watch another family-focused musical production since I am a parent too.
The whole show was simply mind-blowing. I love the set. The props were 3-D, really colourful and glowed in the darkness of the theatre. As an audience member, I felt I was transported immediately into the deep sea. The puppets were really well made. The sea creatures looked real and the puppeteers interacted really well with the puppets too. They breathed life into them. Throughout the show, they sang live! No lip-syncing at all. Very powerful lungs there!
Okay, seeing is believing. Check out the photos, courtesy of I Theatre Ltd. And you will know what I mean.
I was simply blown away by the part when The Rainbow Fish made a visit to the octopus. The black light theatre technique was simply gorgeous.
Great set, fantastic props, wonderful acting crew and not to forget, the catchy songs, this is definitely a great musical that any family should not miss. Recommended for everyone age 3 to 93.

Nice! I heard good reviews from a colleague who brought her son for Rainbow Fish... Sigh, too bad my schedule's too tight for this week! Ah well, maybe the Elves show then!
Looks like a great show!! =) I'd love to bring my girls to the shoemaker one. They're big fans of the story! =)
Both shows sound interesting but I don't know if my two year old can sit through the performance? Did they threaten to kick out any noisy kids?
Yes, it is definitely very good. Highly recommend and I’m sure your girls will love it.
Yup, you should. Well, who knows there might be an Eighth stage appearance of The Rainbow Fish by I Theatre? Just keep our fingers cross that it will not take too long.
i wanted to thank for the excellent read and beautiful photography.
You are very kind! The photos were sponsored by iTheatre and yes, it’s beautiful.
