Brick Theater and The Mad Ones Present THE TREMENDOUS TREMENDOUS

It's been a tremendous summer here at the New York World's Fair, filled with technological marvels, real-life mermaids and those CAN'T-MISS showstoppers, The Tremendous Traveling Abbotts. Their arousing soft shoe, swinging musical skill and impeccable timing have left jaws here on the fairgrounds agape in awe. Bravo!

Join The Mad Ones, creators of last season's award-winning Samuel & Alasdair: A Personal History of the Robot War, as they pull back the curtain on a tremendous moment in American history and reveal the closing night party of those irascible Abbotts, a tremendous traveling family with an unsettling secret.
