In the Night Garden - Live
Discussion
We're taking toddler-JTW off to see In the Night Garden live in a few weeks - has anyone else been to one of these shows and are they any good?

That's weird enough on the telly. God know what it'll be like live. 
Surely no weirder than going to see "Something Special"/"Mr Tumble" live....I was tempted to take my daughter the live show, but thought it might freak her out. As it is she's gone off 'In the Night Garden' so now I have to entertain her instead.
Having a 3 year old we have done a few of kiddies TV show live stage things, (Tweenies, Bob the Builder, Postman Pat, Chris and Poi (CBeebies presenters) and last Fireman Sam), despite my scepticism they have mostly been entertaining although being shouted at in Welsh (Fireman Sam) wasn’t that much fun.

And my daughter seems to have gone off it a bit, but I'm sure she'll enjoy it.... Or be totally freaked out....

Surely no weirder than going to see "Something Special"/"Mr Tumble" live....Thankfully I don't think our lad (2 years old) would particularly care for either. If I gave him a choice of :
- cbeebies
- disney channel
- DVD of Cars
Its the DVD of cars each and every time. He now recognises the intro tune, so I can now happily play Sheryl Crow in the car and he'll bop along to it.
In fact, I'm probably feeding his addiction by buying the little die-cast cars, putting a divx of the film on my phone so he can watch at bath time .... if swmbo knew that, she'd probably scream.
But I don't care, he's turning into a 2 y/o pistonhead, which absolutely has to be a good thing.

My daughter is going on sunday. I think it's the Pinky-ponk show in Brum.
We mentioned it and the grandparents volunteered themselves to take her. Job done. Apparently they are taking her to the SeaLife centre afterwards.
I can't imagine anything worse myself...actually I can, the Mr Tumble thing would be up there closely followed by Chris and Poi.

We took our grandson to the show in Glasgow last month, and he was literally shaking with excitement the whole time. He won't be 2 until February, so we were a bit concerned that he would be too young, but after the first couple of minutes he had sussed out what was happening and absolutely loved it.
It is a mixture of puppets and people inside costumes, and they move the scenery throughout the show so there is almost always something happening. Not sure about value for money, but we spent 90 quid for just about an hour (me, my wife, grandson and his mum), and I think my wife spent almost as much on merchandising.
I am sure you will enjoy it.

He was mildly hilarious on holiday in Orlando a month back - whilst he enjoyed the shows, he didn't seem to even begin to enjoy character meets, and his favourite show? Hollywood Studios, the stunt car extravaganza. He was just saying "car ... car ... car ...."
Heck, even at the departure lounge, his favourite thing was running around the porsche and ferrari lottery win cars, continually pointing at the Ferrari saying "car, car, car".
The only word he can say with any conviction is "car"
