点评:Today we watched Puss in Boots
at the Baxter , and experienced the show through the eyes of a three-year-old.
If there were any noise complaints about a little voice enthusiastically shouting:
“No ways!”
“No Kitty, be careful!”
“We are yessss!”
…that was our little Blake. 🩷
As this is his very first production in a big theatre, it was pure magic to watch. He clapped on cue, danced in his seat, gasped in disbelief, and generously offered his commentary throughout—exactly as only a true patron of the arts can.
He charmed fellow audience members, cooed over the babies around him, and proudly introduced himself to everyone.
I’m Blake, and this is my Mamam.”
Watching the performance through his eyes reminded us of the wonder, imagination, and joy that live theatre inspires in children.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in this wonderful production for creating such a memorable first theatre experience. We can’t wait for the next adventure at the Baxter!

翻译:今天我们去巴克斯特剧院看了《穿靴子的猫》,
我们以一个三岁孩子的视角体验了这场演出。
如果有人抱怨听到一个稚嫩的声音兴奋地喊着:
“不会吧!”
“小猫咪,小心点!”
“我们太棒了!”
……那就是我们的小布莱克。🩷
这是他第一次在大剧院看演出,简直太神奇了。他会在需要的时候鼓掌,在座位上跳舞,惊叹不已,并且全程滔滔不绝地发表自己的评论——就像一个真正的艺术爱好者那样。
他逗乐了其他观众,逗弄着周围的小宝宝,还自豪地向每个人介绍自己。
“我是布莱克,这是我妈妈。”
透过他的视角观看演出,让我们再次感受到现场戏剧带给孩子们的奇妙、想象和喜悦。
衷心感谢所有参与这部精彩作品的人员,感谢你们创造了如此难忘的初次戏剧体验。我们迫不及待地想要在巴克斯特剧院开启下一段冒险之旅!
