Despite the recently reported news about the bubble break-in, the Off-Broadway hit Gazillion Bubble Show will continue performances at New World Stages as planned. There is enough special bubble formula to get through the next several weeks and Fan Yang and members of his production staff are working overtime to ensure the ongoing continuation of the show. Tickets are currently on sale through January 2009.

The NJ warehouse that housed the famed materials for the off-Broadway show was looted. The bandits took off with over 6000 bubble toys, even more frustrating to the renowned bubble artist is the theft of his specialized bubble solution (3.4 tons to be exact) which takes two months to create and may put the Gazillion Bubble Show in a pinch as there is only one month worth of supplies left at the theatre.

Created by 16-time Guinness World Record holder and bubble scientist, Fan Yang’s Gazillion Bubble Show has been playing for the past 18 months at New World Stages. Yang's wife Ana and brother Jano also perform with The Gazillion Bubble Show. In past months Yang has put over 100 people is a bubble as well as enclosing a 8,800lbs elephant in a single soapy sphere.

Gazillion Bubble Show plays at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street). Performances are Wednesday at 2pm; Thursday at 2 and 7pm; Friday at 2 and 5pm, Saturday at 11am, 2pm and 7pm and Sunday at noon and 3pm.
