This high-flying, internationally acclaimed first North American production of JUMP, the nonverbal Korean extravaganza of martial arts, acrobatics and slapstick, opened Off Broadway to rave reviews at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street) on Sunday, October 7, 2007.
"JUMP brings the combination of slapstick comedy, acrobatics and martial arts to the stage, for the first time ever in live performance, in this highly unique theater spectacle that has been described as 'Jackie Chan meets Charlie Chaplin.' Set in the interior of a traditional Korean home, the show tells the story of an anything-but-typical family. Each member of the household, from the strict Grandfather to the pretty young daughter, enjoys nothing more than challenging the rest of the family to martial arts showdowns. When two burglars break into the house occupied by three generations of highly trained martial artists, the family turns their expertise on the unexpected guests. The hyperactive sitcom that ensues is the ideal forum for this troupe to show off their extensive training in martial arts, acrobatics, gymnastics and comic acting," describes press notes.
JUMP is suitable for all ages. JUMP plays the following performance schedule for the remainder of 2007: Tuesday through Friday at 8:00 p.m., Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Additional matinee Saturday 12/29 at 5pm.
Regular-priced tickets ($20 to $65) are available by visiting www.ticketmaster.com or by calling (212) 307-4100. Performances subject to availability. Group sales (10 or more) can be arranged by contacting Theatre Direct 1-800-BROADWAY. www.jumpnewyorkcity.com
