An new family-friendly, original live stage spectacular filled with music, laughter, dance, beatbox, juggling and raw energy opens in Hollywood at The Montalbán Theatre on December 12 for six performances only.

Appropriate for all ages, RADITATICAL: A Journey in Rhythm is a unique hybrid performance sensation which explores the human potential and finds the music within all of us, a story of one man’s journey across the country, learning about musical expression and realizing possibilities beyond his wildest dreams. Audiences become a part of the quest, discovering their own rhythm in heartbeats, breath, movements of their hands and feet – how it’s all connected to the pulse of life.

This highly energetic, unique live theatrical experience is a living, breathing, inspiring, interactive, family-friendly rhythmic adventure. RADITATICAL: A Journey in Rhythm tells its story more through action and music than dialogue. The hero’s journey into rhythm engages the audience as the ensemble make music for — and WITH — the audience. Each cast member blend their high caliber musicianship with physical stunts and movement, and is supported by never-before-seen creations and stunning visual effects.

“A true collaborative experience, RADITATICAL: A Journey in Rhythm, is the culmination of performance concepts that I’ve been developing for nearly 10 years from my days with spectacle-based entertainment like Stomp!, Blue Man Group and Cirque du Soleil,“ explained RADITATICAL director Ameenah Kaplan. “When Bronkar Lee approached me about working on RADITATICAL with him, it seemed like a natural evolution. We want the audience to experience the journey with us – that rhythm is within all of us.”
