Critic Reviews
As a show that takes place at lunchtime, it's to be expected that a large percentage of the audience would be children - and that was indeed the case. The Quizzical Mr Jeff has pitched his show to be family-friendly, and has succeeded in achieving a balance between spellbinding magic and slapstick humour, in a way that keeps everyone entertained. Starting with a captivating performance with a floating levitation stick, Mr Jeff soon had the audience enthralled. But it seems Mr Jeff is able to levitate and twirl a whole range of items. A jacket... a ball.... a coat... What's really lovely about having children in the audience is getting immediate and unfiltered feedback. My favourite line was from one young girl, perhaps providing an explanation to a sibling about how a particular illusion was performed: 'well don't forget, he IS magical'. And another young girl, standing near us in the aisle (to get a better view), 'oh WOW! That is SO COOL!'. Well, what else do I need to say? I loved the show and the kids did too. Mr Jeff, you are an amazing talent to be able to please all age brackets. It's a rich magical variety show with lots of laughs along the way.
Prior to watching “The Quizzical Mr Jeff” I’d heard nothing but praise and wonderful comments so I was eager to see what all the fuss was about! On stage, Mr Jeff had an eclectic assortment of curious props: a globe of the world; a fancy hat stand (with fancy hats) and other items shrouded in mystery. Upbeat Euoropean style cabaret music was playing on entry to set the mood of the show, and made for a whimsical soundtrack. Mr Jeff himself is quite dashing and debonair and throughout the show you will find out exactly how talented he is too! Whilst many of the aspects of this show are circus based, much of it is magical – Mr Jeff balances things that look like they shouldn’t be balanced, and in other portions of the show various items are levitated in superb ways. Mr Jeff himself is silent most of the time during his show, save for some cries / prompts for the audience to make some noise. It’s so fun to be in the audience for this show as each response to Mr Jeff makes you feel like part of the story and magic too. Show highlights for me are Mr Jeff’s contact juggling of clear spheres (Labyrinth movie fans eat your heart out!!) – this portion of the show was sublime and I was completely transfixed (as were other members of the audience). Another highlight was possibly the largest latex balloon I’ve ever seen on stage (a six foot tall balloon)! What Mr Jeff does with that balloon needs to be seen to be believed!!!! It was incredible, heartfelt and exciting all at once – the screams and cheers of the crowd were testament to that. Mr Jeff has put an immense amount of skill and effort into each performance. I left the theatre feeling inspired and like I’d been to another world. I honestly can’t recommend this show enough – it’s unmissable! VERDICT: A thoroughly entertaining show and impressive show from start to finish. Let Mr Jeff be your guide on a wonderous journey of circus and magical delights. This has been the best daytime show I’ve seen so far in the festival so I recommend all to see it, it’s a perfect show for the family to enjoy together!
The Quizzical Mr Jeff invites you to unleash your imagination with his playful display of optical illusions, complimented with fun choreography in this visual storytelling treat. There are crystal balls and hoops, lots of them, so beautifully manipulated to appear as if they are floating before your eyes. The clever and mischievous use of the 6 foot balloon (I want one) provided many laughs, particularly amongst the children who were in absolute awe of the size of the balloon and what Mr Jeff was able to do with it. This one man show invites audience participation, and a lucky few are selected to get on stage and assist Mr Jeff with his hilarious acts. A special treat is the ensemble of audience members he gathers on stage to conduct in a musical masterpiece. The Quizzical Mr Jeff will dazzle you with his enchanting and amusing show. There were many ‘laugh out loud’ moments in this super fun show that is definitely great for the whole family. Go see it; you will be so glad you did.
