DreamBIG review: the Boy & the Ball
I took my 3-year-old to see The Boy & the Ball on Saturday, and I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging a show with no dialogue could be.

Making its South Australian premiere at this year’s DreamBIG festival, Little Bozu and Kon Kon, was a charming and beautifully crafted puppet show that left both children and parents smiling.
Teacher and KIDDO reviewer, Dimi Galantomos, took her two kiddos to the opening of the DreamBIG Children’s Festival, setting the perfect scene for a day full of fun and wonder. There was so much for kids to see, explore, and enjoy. One of the highlights of the day was Imagine LIVE, a vibrant performance based on Alison Lester’s beloved book Imagine.
We came. We saw. We danced! Zindzi and the Zillionaires brought the vibe, the colour, and the party energy in a show that felt more like a kids’ music festival than a stage performance – and we were HERE FOR IT.
I have a confession: I stole a bubble from my kid and popped it. I couldn’t resist. That’s the power Maxwell the Bubbleologist has over his audience!
It was another warm Fringe afternoon in Gluttony as my daughters and I lined up to watch ‘The Box Show’ but the heat outside the tent had nothing on the heat INSIDE the tent once Junkyard Beats took to the stage.
KIDDO reviewer, Kasia, took her kiddos to Shape Up! at Adelaide Fringe. Be quick to book: there’s only ONE show left on Sunday, 23 March.
KIDDO reviewer, Kasia, took her kiddos to Level Up. There are still a couple of shows left this Fringe season, so don’t miss out on this jaw-dropping performance!
KIDDO reviewer, Katie, took her little one to Sleeps Hill Tunnel to explore the mesmerising projections and installations that share the tunnel’s history from its steam train era to mushroom farm years.
KIDDO reviewer, Lucy, took her two girls to see FoRT at The Garden of Unearthly Delights. There’s still time to book your last-minute tickets to the show!
KIDDO reviewer, Lauren Rofe, took her three kiddos to The Messy Magic Adventure at The Garden of Unearthly Delights. There are only two shows remaining! Get your tickets for this weekend’s unmissable shows!
KIDDO reviewer, Anastasia Vento, took her little one to Bubble Show in Space at Gluttony. There’s still time to get your tickets to this weekend’s shows!
Mum-of-two and teacher, Dimi, took her kiddos to Monski Mouse’s Baby Cabaret, and she’s still humming along to some classic nursery rhymes!
The main thing I look for in productions that are pitched as family entertainment, is how well all my kids and grandkids react, this particular show, simple as it is, really hits the nail on the head.
Looking for a disgustingly funny show to entertain some active little ones? Mr Snotbottom vs The Zombie Boogers: The Science of Snot is definitely worth watching, writes KIDDO’s 13-year-old reviewer, Olive.
