MUMBAI: If you have kids or have been around them – you’ve definitely heard of Masha and the Bear. If you’ve attended the show’s theatrical show, you know the magic it brings to life, but if you haven’t, you’re in luck! The one-of-its-kind entertainment experience with the young, spirited girl - Masha and her friend, the Bear, made its theatrical debut in India in December and on popular demand, is returning with shows in Mumbai for the third time! The Nick Jr. show, brought to life and produced by Viacom18 LIVE, is set to captivate audiences in Mumbai once again on the 8th and 9th of June at Bal Gandharv Rang Mandir, Bandra, followed by performances in Bangalore on the 29th and 30th of June at Ambedkar Bhavan, Millers Road.

The show has gained immense popularity in India. Kids as well as their parents, including celebrities like Soha Ali Khan, Sameera Reddy, Kajal Aggarwal, Mandira Bedi, Neha Dhupia, Nitya Mehra and Shriya Saran amongst others have appreciated the show wholeheartedly.

Soha Ali Khan said, “I really love the show. We watched Masha and the Bear on television first and it’s so nice to see it come live. I think it's a really lovely way to bond with your child and if you’re really thinking about non-digital, non-screen related, one of the best things to do is to watch the performance with your child and what better than Masha and the Bear!”

Neha Dhupia said, "The fact that they have my kids' attention for one and half hours, what else could a mom want? Very entertaining, very well done, very well performed and life lessons and friendship so this one is a keeper."

Shriya Saran said, "What I liked the most about Masha and the Bear is that the characters are very relatable. It was lovely to see these larger-than-life characters walk to you, the full story had a beautiful message about friendship and love that is really special. My husband is Russian, and he is very proud of Masha and the Bear. I try to bring my daughter away from screen time but bring her more to shows, so it's a great way for her to understand the characters watching them perform in front of you. It’s also very special because it is Radha’s first theatre show, I was very nervous. I thought she would be fidgety, and she would run because this was the first time, she was sitting in the theatre for so long but she was amazing. She sat through it. She loved it, she laughed, she clapped, and she danced. So, this will be a special memory."

With its delightful storytelling, endearing characters and widespread appeal, this Nick Jr special has been a favorite across households in the country. Packed with music, dance, and a strong narrative around “A Very Detective Story”, to make it suit and appeal to children of all ages, the show provides the audience with an interactive experience where Masha and The Bear need the audience’s help to solve a mystery together. From solving clues to dancing with Masha, The Bear, Professor Nonbelevious, Rosie, the Panda, Sly Fox and Silly Fox - the kids get to do it all!
