Does my baby need a ticket?

Yes. Every child needs their own ticket, whatever their age.

Can we go without a ticket?

Once ticket holders are in, any empty seats go to people waiting at the door, first come first served, until it is full.

What if we booked and can't make it?

Cancel in "Mis compras" on your Madrid Destino account, the same place you got the tickets, so another family can use them.

Is it wheelchair and stroller friendly?

The theater lists the show as accessible for people with reduced mobility.

About

A family puppet variety show from Argentine puppeteer Manu Mansilla. A soft-hearted monster from the center of the earth is introduced as a terrifying beast, and a gang member called "Peligro" searches the crowd for new sidekicks. Mansilla stops to chat with the audience, asks them to believe things, and lets the puppets prove him wrong. It suits kids who like to answer back to the stage.
