1	Billed as the first glow-in-the-dark stage musical, '''''John Tartagalia's Imaginocean''''' is a touring musical featuring the adventures of three fish who are friends: Bubbles, Dorsel and Tank. The excitement begins when the three of them find a treasure map. Though Dorsel, chronically nervous and afraid of germs, isn't sure about it, they decide to go on an adventure to find the treasure. What follows is a journey of imagination and discovery as they search the deep blue sea in search of treasure. Designed to appeal to young audiences, ''Imaginocean'' runs about 45 minutes with no intermission. The entire production is done in glow-in-the-dark, using blacklights, allowing viewers to imagine that what they're seeing is really happening underwater. The show was created by Creator/JohnTartaglia, who wrote the story, though the music and lyrics of the songs were written by William Wade, with direction and musical staging by Donna Drake. The show began touring 2014.

3	!''John Tartaglia's Imaginocean'' includes examples of:
4
5	* DisembodiedEyebrows: At the beginning of the show, there are two fish named Whipper and Snapper who are essentially the equivalent of JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf. Whipper's eyebrow on the right side appears to be disembodied.
6	* {{Gesundheit}}: At the beginning of the show, there are two fish named Whipper and Snapper who are essentially the equivalent of JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf. When Snapper introduces the show as "John Tartaglia's Imaginocean", Whipper says "gesundheit" and they joke about wondering just who Creator/JohnTartaglia is.
7	* IDontThinkThatsSuchAGoodIdea: Dorsel is this throughout much of the show. But there's a lot of CharacterDevelopment, so he eventually gets over it.
8	* InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: Creator/JohnTartaglia was the original writer. Likely done for promotion, as Tartaglia's name is very recognizable as a puppeteer with ''Series/PlayWithMeSesame'', as Lumiere on the stage show of ''Theatre/BeautyAndTheBeast'' and as the star of ''Series/JohnnyAndTheSprites''.
9	* PungeonMaster: Whipper is this, making various puns based off of types of fish.
10	* TerrifiedOfGerms: Dorsel is this. When he and his friends first realize that an audience is watching them, mostly kids, he worries that they're "germ carriers." When a treasure map appears, he has to read it for the group because he's the only fish of the three that can read human language, but he's worried that the map, is infested with germs. Later, as they perform the play's opening song number, "On Our Way":
11	--> '''Dorsel''': Who knows what we will find out there? There's danger waiting everywhere. And all those germs give quite a fright to me.
12	--> '''Bubbles''': There's an ocean filled with nothing but adventure.
13	--> '''Tank''': And coral.
14	--> '''Dorsel''': And germs.
