THAT PHYSICS SHOW Brings 'Scientific Magic' Off-Broadway, Beginning Tonight

By:

After a sold-out nine-week run at the 62-seat Playroom Theater, THAT PHYSICS SHOW, the evening of "scientific magic" by lifetime physics demonstrator David Maiullo, is being transported a few blocks west and south to the 180-seat Elektra Theater (300 West 43rd Street - entrance just west of 8th Avenue) for an open-ended Off-Broadway engagement. Performances begin tonight, February 26th, at 8pm. Opening Night is scheduled for Wednesday, March 9th. Eric Krebs produces and directs.

What damage can a ping-pong ball do as it hurtles 700 miles an hour through a vacuum tube? Can you see the shape of sound in a dancing flame? "OH, NO! That bowling ball is going to smash him in the face"...but it didn't!

Based on the hundreds of physics experiments that are presented at physics conferences and in classrooms across the country, THAT PHYSICS SHOW features segments on motion, momentum, vacuum, friction, energy, density, fluid motion, sound waves and sound vibration, light waves, temperature and many more from the world in which we live - a world controlled by physics. You've never seen anything like this before! Mr. Maiullo has been a physics demonstrator at Rutgers University for over 20 years and most recently became a regular on "The Weather Channel" and a presenter at national physics festivals.

"Surprise of surprises," exclaims Krebs. "A concept for a physics show that I have been thinking about for 15 years has suddenly become an exciting reality. I would not have imagined that physics could be so entertaining, but in watching Dave Maiullo for nine weeks, I have become a true believer.That Physics Show fulfills one of my passions... once again exciting people about off-Broadway theater."

The performance schedule for THAT PHYSICS SHOW will be: Friday @ 7pm, Saturday @ 3pm & 7pm, and Sunday at 12pm & 3pm. Select Wednesday matinee and evening performances will be available. Tickets are $39-$49 and can be purchased online at www.ThatPhysicsShow.com or by calling OvationTix at 866-811-4111. Groups 15+ should call (212) 967-8278 for more information.
