The Box Show by Junkyard Beats is an absolute winner - pure energy, creativity, and fun from start to finish. With four incredibly talented performers, this show turns everyday objects into a full-blown musical experience, proving that you don’t need fancy instruments to make a beat.

Using recycled props like cardboard boxes, buckets, and packing tape, the cast builds a rhythm-filled world that’s impossible not to tap along to. There’s no real dialogue, just hilarious gibberish and expressive storytelling that keeps everyone engaged - and that’s probably why our kids liked it so much! The drumming, dance, and physical comedy all come together in a way that’s both clever and ridiculously entertaining.

Audience interaction adds to the fun, and the intimate setting of the Virago at Gluttony makes it even better. If you’re looking for a show that’s bursting with energy and creativity, The Box Show is a must-see!
