The Backyardigans Live - EXCELLENT!

My boys LOVE the Backyardigans. It is a Canadian cartoon that plays on Treehouse and NickJr. DJ and Anderson just love them...they are a bunch of friends who have EXCELLENT adventures in their backyards. Two years ago DJ and Anderson talked me into making them Pablo and Tyrone costumes for Halloween.




DJ as Tyrone the Moose
Anderson as Pablo the Penguin


So, when I heard the LIVE SHOW was coming to town...well, with lightening speed I got us row L tickets. Believe it or not, the show sold out in 9 minutes!!!!! The boys were so excited. They even insisted on wearing their old Halloween costumes. Unfortunately, only the heads still fit them, somewhat, at that!



The boys clutching their tickets!




What an EXCELLENT afternoon with my boys at the theatre. We had a blast. The boys were on the edge of their seats cheering on the characters and following the directions and dancing. It was so fun to watch my boys react to what they saw on stage.






The show was EXCELLENT! The boys were EXCELLENT!!! The whole afternoon bonding with my boys was EXCELLENT!!!!


Hey! Is that Pablo and Tyrone or DJ and Anderson??!!??!!

I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE WORST SHOW/PLAY I HAD EVER SEEN. I WANT MY $70 BACK. My daughter is two years old and did not enjoy it.. When I spoke to my co-worker he said his son did not like it either. I am so surprised that the show only lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes. Please do not waste your money and/or get the cheapest tickets!!!
