From the artist who once gave voice to the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme, James Mandell takes another monumental leap, this time diving deep into the roots of sci-fi futurism. With this multimedia extravaganza, he's done more than just present; he’s crafted an immersive experience that celebrates the evolution of the genre over the last two centuries.
Mandell's performance is electrifying, seamlessly intertwining live elements with impeccably produced original music videos and cutting-edge electronics. His flair for the comedic shines throughout, adding layers of engagement that are both entertaining and thought-provoking.

I came in a little skeptical based on the description, and I left completely delighted. Informative, funny, charming, and relevant, James Mandall does a great job enthralling an all-ages audience with the story of science fiction, with some original songs on the topic sprinkled in for good measure.. Great fun, highly recommend for sc-fi fans!...

Mandell had a wonderfully entertaining show. His focus was rarely telling his story (unlike two of our early one-performer shows); his story was that of the evolution of the genre. More importantly, he talked about how the genre was predicting wonderful technology that didn’t always make it out to the public. After all, we’re all still waiting for our flying cars. [...] We just found this to be a delightful and fun show, with extra fun for those who are actually into science fiction as well are. It is well worth seeing.
