Jellyfish and Open Ocean Area
The stage opens onto the Ocean for a musical tableau... Blue runners tune up to the guitarfish, and a duo of little bonnethead sharks composes a fugue before the serious eyes of stoic barracudas.
While the jellyfish ballet is in motion, dainty strands of lace float about. White-spotted and compass jellyfish, Cassiopeas and Aurelias: these lovely ladies gracefully parade by, drawing attention for the elegance of their unfurled gowns.
