Frida (aged five) and I were delighted to be given the opportunity to go and see the
gala performance of
The Go! Go! Go! Show at
The Empire Leicester Square.
It is billed as
family-friendly entertainment ideal for younger children. I can whole-heartedly
agree with this. Frida sat for the
full show, almost two hours,
transfixed, even ignoring her popcorn and Smarties!
The show was
interactive, filled with lots of
catchy songs and fun
dance routines that Frida has been performing around the house since yesterday. There were many opportunities for
children to get involved,
sing, dance and try and
solve the mystery as the
musical progressed. This is billed as a
pop musical for children and as a parent I was grateful that it kept to this remit by been
absolutely child-centred and good fun.
The storyline of
The Go!Go!Go! Show follows five friends, three girls and two boys who notice one day that their
socks have gone
missing. This leads to a hilarious setting up of
The Fluffalope (think purple and fluffy), amidst much
shouting by the
children to try and get the
cast to see that he is around,
eating their socks.
Frida found the
loud rumblings of the
Fluffalope’s stomach when
hungry for socks very amusing. The friends need to find a
supply of socks for their new friend, and encounter a
Mr Baffled along the way whilst trying to work this out. In between all of this there are lots of
zany jokes, magic tricks and a real
sock mountain keeping the
younger and older
audience engaged throughout.
We left the
show with a wonderful
goodie bag complete with our own
Fluffalope that Frida has been f
eeding socks to ever since. The
CD has proved a
hit and she announced to me that it is now her
favourite.I would
definitely recommend this as a day out. It was fun to be in
London’s Leicester Square, and the sheer
energy and warmth of the
cast made this outing so enjoyable.
