This is coming to town soon and since it has already been through Australia I was wondering if anyone has been and if it is worth going to? It happens to fall right around birthday week and I thought I could take my girls as a treat but it would be around $80 for the three of us in the cheap seats so I want to make sure it is worth it first.
Thanks
We went last time, and to be honest, I didn't think much of it. My boys liked it, but didn't love it iykwim. It was really just a bunch of people walking around with puppets on their hands.
We were going to go when it was here, and heard a number of bad reviews so gave it a miss. I hadn't realised it was hand puppets until I read the reviews.
I didn't realise it was puppets either until I got there! Big disappointment, was expecting people in costume!
Save your money. We were very unimpressed, as were our children, and we left at interval.
Friends of ours went and were super disappointed too.
Yeah, it wasn't the best. Also wasn't expecting puppets, the people were really distracting.
My sil took her DD & wasn't impressed, DD got bored & didn't enjoy herself
Well then, I think I might give that a miss! Thanks everyone :)
Oh no - wish I had seen this earlier. We have bought tickets to the Peppa show in November at the Arts Centre in Melbourne. $120 for 2 tickets... I didn't realise it would be hand puppets, that's terrible.
We went last time; our boys liked it. The hand puppets aren't that small- close to arm length in height for the peppa, George characters the adult characters were bigger
I took DD and DS (18m and almost 5 at the time) - we all loved it actually. It was very clever and my kids were absolutely enthralled. Worth every penny IMO. I actually thought it was a nice change with the puppets, nice to introduce a different type of show to the children. It was also interactive and DS was yelling back at the stage with great enthusiasm.
We got tickets for the Dandenong show at the beginning of November, I am really hoping bub stays put as I am really looking forward to taking DS
