This past Good Friday, I took my two kids (ages 8 and 4) to see “Air Play” at the New Victory Theater in the city.
Created and performed by the Acrobuffos, husband and wife team Seth Bloom and Christina Gelsone—the two portray curious young siblings on a circus-style journey of mind-blowing tricks and mesmerizing thrills all generated through the limitless splendor of air flow.

The 60-minute show is a mix of comedy, aerodynamic science and nonstop “oohs and aahs.” Aimed at children age 5 and up, the performance had everything to keep kids of all ages entertained. From gigantic, bouncing balloons to on-stage confetti and Styrofoam-filled twisters triggered by the physics of air, the Acrobuffos know how to evoke a sense of wonder for all attendees. Plus, the show is jam-packed with engaging audience participation, creating a memorable afternoon.
Located in the heart of Times Square, the newly remodeled New Victory has been my family’s go-to spot for incredible live theater for children. Throughout the years, we’ve seen dozens of shows and they’re incredibly entertaining, educational and always fun.
“Air Play” runs at New Victory Theater through April 15. Click here for ticket information.
