"This show wears its Pokémon inspiration proud on its sleeve… a proper laugh-fest.” - Nintendo Life

A wild musical appears! “BALLS: The Monster-Catchin' Musical Comédy” is an action-packed immersive experience about the MONSTERS we collect and the FIGHTS we choose to fight. Be the very first to start a “NEW GAME” in this one-of-a-kind extravaganza, overflowing with 8-bit bops, improvised battles, and 151 original Collectabuddies. Popping up for three exclusive performances on April 18th and 19th at CAVEAT NYC, the acclaimed Lower East Side comedy venue that “champions nerdy, funny art – and sells cheap drinks.”

MONSTERS WERE SCARY. AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SCARED. So he squished ‘em down into little balls, and created a safer world: where monsters are pets - and pets do what they’re told. But when these “Collectabuddies” begin to BITE BACK, the Professor and his piece-of-sh*t grandson are forced to battle their past conceptions of right and wrong to save the game they helped create.
