Review:

The show was simple yet Informative and promoted learning with fun and Interaction. 

It's musical and all cute characters especially the two bees, a grasshopper, an ant and a caterpillar make it really funny for the kids. Short but disco appearance of the lady bird sparked the crowd to have some fun with music and lights. We also liked the way they involved the kids in trying out simple physical exercises and shared benefits of the same. The moral of the story revolved around importance of hard work and preparedness for the future which is known to come. 

The ant was hardworking and well prepared for winters while the grasshopper was found as her complete opposite. The puppetry appearance of caterpillar also gelled well with the show. Last but not the least, families and kids can also take photos with the cast. 

Overall, the setup and costumes were good. Rating: 8.5/10    

Synopsis...

Once there lived three friends. An Ant - who never seemed to have time for play or relaxation. A Grasshopper, with nothing to do all day. And Caterpillar. All day long Ant would work hard, collecting and storing food in her larder. Grasshopper would laugh, and say. 'Why do you work so hard? Come, and rest awhile. Summer is here; why waste the sunshine in labour and toil?'

Whilst Caterpillar calmly carried on, doing what caterpillars do best... But Summer does not last long – and soon Winter and the frozen cold will come... What will happen to the three friends then?

A fast-paced and interactive musical, full of fun. Based on the famous Aesop’s Fable - with colourful characters, puppets and tuneful, catchy songs. Specially created with the younger audience in mind, but with unexpected twists and turns to keep even the grownups engaged, involved and on their toes!
