ImaginOcean is a one-of-a-kind, innovative glow-in-the-dark musical that opened in New York in March 2010 and began its U.S. tour in September 2011. The 50 minute production features extraordinary puppets, memorable original songs, and a heartwarming journey of discovery by three loveable fish named Tank, Bubbles, and Dorsel who take the audience on their singing, bubbling, jiving adventure, making friends along the way.
ImaginOcean is the brain child of John Tartaglia, known to parents and kids for his Tony Award nominated portrayals of Rod/Princeton in the original Broadway cast of Avenue Q and his critically acclaimed Disney Channel show Johnny and the Sprites, for which he received an Emmy Award nomination. Tartaglia is not only the creator and writer of ImaginOcean, he is also the voice of five of its characters.
