About this Performance
A live podcast taping, a stage full of surprises, and yes — actual pizza.
Join Terrestrials, the hit kids’ science podcast from WNYC’s Radiolab, for a one-of-a-kind live show all about the magic hiding in your favorite food: PIZZA!
Host Lulu Miller, Songbud Alan Goffinski, and Producerbud Ana González take the stage to explore the natural wonders that make up every slice — from wheat and tomatoes to cheese (which is really just a delicious collaboration between milk and bacteria). Along the way, you’ll meet real-life food experts, witness dazzling tap dancing by John Manzari, experience a rocking beat with a kitchen drumkit led by Mantra Percussion’s Caitlin Cawley and watch jaw-dropping tricks from live pizza flippers!
Expect original songs, science surprises, audience Q&As — and yes, you’ll get to taste the science with real pizza at the end.
It’s a show for curious kids and pizza-loving grownups alike.
Come hungry for knowledge (and snacks).
