Just okay....
by My3sons on 2009-10-25Rogers Centre - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5We have been to see the Wiggles before and are huge fans. The show we saw yesterday had lots of interesting tricks and circus-like acts but I was disappointed in the show overall. First, it seemed as though some parts were kind of thrown together and scattered. During those moments, and there were quite a few, our boys lost interest pretty quickly. Second, the title of the show was "The Wiggles Go Bananas!" and that was how it was marketed so we were expecting the songs and dances from the DVD with the same title. Despite the fact we have way too many Wiggles videos already, I tracked down a copy to purchase (which was no an easy task) so the kids could learn the songs and dances thereby adding to their enjoyment on show day. Much to our boys' disappointment there was only one song (Monkey Man) that I can recall that was from the "Go Bananas" show. This left me feeling a bit manipulated! Third, the stage seemed small for the venue and number of people and it seemed very cheap and unsophisticated. I understand that young children prefer simpler designs and primary colors etc., but the effort they put into it did not seem to correspond with the ticket prices!
As much as my husband, myself and our friends were pretty disappointed, the Wiggles did display their high level of energy, played some old favorites and the 5 kids liked the show simply because they got to see the Wiggles.
