What is Bubble Boy all about?

Bubble Boy - What's it all about?

The first production of Bubble Boy: The Musical was at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza's Scherr Forum on February 7–8, 2008. It was based on the 2001 film starring Jake Gyllenhaal, which itself was based on 1976's 'The Boy In The Plastic Bubble' starring John Travolta.

Created by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio (Despicable Me, The Lorax, The Secret Life of Pets, Schmigadoon), Bubble Boy has a fun and quirky score which fans of 'Avenue Q' and 'Book of Mormon' will love.

The original studio recording included AJ Holmes of Team StarKid fame as Jimmy Livingston, Tony award winner Alice Ripley (Next to Normal, Sideshow) as Mrs Livingston.

Bubble Boy follows Jimmy Livingston, a boy deathly allergic to germs who is kept in a decontaminated bubble room for his own protection. Jimmy’s life is turned upside down when Chloe moves in next door and his eyes are opened to how big the work is. Despite Jimmy’s disapproving, conservative mother, the two strike up a friendship…and something more? When it’s revealed Choe is getting married in Niagara Falls, Jimmy hatches a plan. Determined to tell Chloe how he feels and experience the world, Jimmy escapes his bubble room in a new-fangled bubble suit, full of naivete and optimism. Along the way, Jimmy meets a cast of quirky characters and unlikely obstacles in his way.

Bubble Boy is a coming-of-age story full of love, laughs and self-discovery.

Ken Jaworski of The New York Times called it "a likable and lightweight show...with a sweet ending that is entirely in line with the rest of its good-natured story."

Marina Kennedy of BroadwayWorld.com called it "a completely entertaining show that incorporates humor into a bizarre situation with a strong sense of humanity at its core."

Bob Rendell of TalkinBroadway.com called it "a small, likable and lively contemporary pop fun-filled musical fantasy."
