The production reveals the fascinating aspects of a great city like New York in an anecdotal, documentary way that appeals to children and adults alike.
What is exciting for children in a large city? Walking down the streets, taking a subway, roller skating in Central Park, eating in exotic places, ‘Trick or Treat’ at Halloween, visiting famous monuments like the Statue of Liberty or Empire State Building.
