Someone has stolen the show's specialized soapy bubble solution, which takes two months to make.

A show spokesman says 3.4 tons of bubble solution and 6,000 toys went missing in the June 10 break-in at a warehouse in nearby Hoboken, New Jersey.

Soap star: Mr Yang produces one of his trademark bubbles

The show has only six weeks worth of solution on hand to make the air-filled globes of soapy film.

The interactive show was created by renowned bubble artist Fan Yang. It features dazzling light effects, lasers and lots of bubbles - some so intricate or big they have smoke, other bubbles or even people inside them.

Yang has put up to four children in one bubble.
