My review of “
Bluey’s big game
by Henri Boo Biller, age 6, as told to Jessica Gelt.
At the end of the play, there was a moment when my mother said, ‘These people don’t know children! Which was funny to say on a show made for kids. She sort of said it through gritted teeth as I cried and screamed, “That’s not fair!”
by
with about 100 other small children playing on the balcony
Dolby Kodak
Theater in Los Angeles.
We all cried and screamed because at the end of the play a bunch of balloons were thrown at the audience for a game called Keepie Uppy which is super popular on the Bluey TV show. The kids closest to the stage got to hit the balloons back and forth, but the kids on the balcony area didn’t get any balloons thrown at us at all.
And we like balloons because they’re round and shiny and fun, and so it was basically the
the most unfair greatest injustice
in the world that we didn’t get any balloons at the end of the show and so we all started crying
,
like it was the right time, my mother said. Then we all jumped out of our seats and tried to run to the edge of the balcony which made our parents very nervous as they were all over
protective, my uncle likes to say.
It was child mutiny, my mother said.

Then the worst thing in the whole world happened. Bubbles began to rain down from the ceiling. JUST NOT IN THE BALCONY SECTION! And then we really started to cry. The bubbles were all soapy and bubbly and poppy and fun and wet and we got to see all the kids downstairs running around like it was Christmas morning, smiling and laughing and screaming and actually taking a bubble shower, and it looked like the coolest thing in the world. And my best friend and I were
just broken. Then my mother told the mother of my best friends that these people don’t know children.
Except she was
complete
wrong, because besides the total, awful, no good, rotten ending, the show was PERFECT! We liked it so much. We got to sit in a theater and watch Bluey and her family do all the things that we love to see Bluey and her family do on TV. We even got to see Chattermax, what my mom calls the most annoying toy ever made, but in the play
it was hilarious because
it kept playing really loud music and flashing super bright lights and it was just so funny.
The game is
In principle
about how Bluey’s dad won’t place his cellphone
call down so bluey and her sister steal it and hide it so bluey’s dad can play with them again. This is what my mom calls recognizable.
and boy could I relate.
Parents nowadays, always on their mobile
Phones! I even saw a mother on her mobile
phone DURING PLAY!!! So it was really funny how Bluey hides her father’s cell
telephone. I tried to do that with my dad’s cell phone
phone when I got home, but he didn’t think it was very funny. My mom and I were
in the process of refurbishing.

Anyway, we had a really great afternoon at the theatre. Children should go to the theater more often. It makes your heart big and it’s good for your brain. I just think balloons and bubbles should be for everyone.
The end.
