Bubbles and Mustard

Welcome to Maximillian Studios - home of “The Bubbles & Mustard Show”. Join our tour around the sound studio where the greatest radio show ever to hit the airwaves is recorded. You will see how the clever sound crew makes all the noises and special effects you hear on the radio!

Olive Olsen will be your tour guide and you will get to participate in all the fun. This is a live radio show so anything can (and usually does) happen. So do you have what it takes to help create the adventures of Bubbles the happy goldfish and Mustard the smartest white mouse in the universe?

Phineas Phrog Productions is proud to present a fifty minute live show introducing the imaginative and entertaining world of sound effects. Suitable for the whole family. Audience participation is encouraged and applauded as young and old help save the day.

Set in the 1920s. Olive Olsen is conducting a guided tour (audience is the tour party) of the sound studio where “The Bubbles & Mustard Show” is recorded. It is a highly popular radio show about the adventures of a gold fish named Bubbles and a white mouse called Mustard.

However, all the crew (Jeff, Joshua, Jack, Jerry and Johnny) are missing. We learn that they ate Ed the messenger boy’s plate of sandwiches (he accidentally used old ingredients) all got very sick and had to go to hospital.

The studio boss, Maximillian, arrives and announces the show must go on air, live, in ten minutes.
The audience has to help Olive, Ed and Max make all the sound effects as they race to perform an unrehearsed, unpredictable episode of “The Bubbles & Mustard Show”.

This is a slap-stick, fast-paced show in which the children see and hear all the inventive ways you can reproduce sounds, as well as having to make a lot of noise themselves. They help save the day and get the show on air!

“Hi, we thought the Bubbles and Mustard Show was simply the best! My daughter was in raptures of laughter and I left feeling like a kid again.” - Nicolina (audience member, Fuel Festival Hamilton)

“The children/tour group clustered at the foot of the stage are frequently called upon for help with various effects, and they are certainly into it - never once at the debut show did they need to be told to do anything again louder. The visionary Somerville has a really good idea going on here.” - Nic Smythe, Theatreview
