Fodor's Expert Review Théâtre de Marionnette Toone
Lower Town
Arts/Performance Venue
Fodor's Choice
This marionette theater troupe has been going for eight generations, performing plays in the old Bruxellois dialect with hefty doses of local humor and innuendo. It's suitable for kids, though, and even if your French isn't up to scratch, there's fun to be had. Plays last two hours (including intermission) and range from Hamlet and Faust to The Passion, with tickets sold just before each show. Alternatively, many people come just for the quirky downstairs bar, Toone (Tuesday–Sunday noon–midnight), which is locally famous in its own right.
