On Saturday (13th) the boys, Daddy and I headed off to Wales and to Cardiff to see the Cbeebies Live event of Justin & Friends. Seeing as though the show was being shown in Cardiff and my friend
TheBoyandMe lives very close by, we arranged when the tickets went on sale that we would take our families and see the show together.
We arranged to meet before the show (which started at 4.30pm) and were invited to have lunch with TheBoyandMe and her family at their home which we did. It was very nice and it gave the boys a chance to play together, the Daddies a chance to discuss all things gadgety related and for 'Me' and I to have a good chin wag!!
We all arrived at the arena with plenty of time and were thrilled that our seats were so close to the front of the stage - I had no idea of this when I booked the tickets, so what a bonus! The show was really good and lasted for an hour and a half which included a 20 minute interval. It was probably a bit too long for Jenson but Burton LOVED it and didn't want to leave once the finale had finished.
The show included Justin (in many of his CBeebies guises), Robert the Robot, Nina from Nina and the Neurons, Katy from I Can Cook, Andy who presents CBeebies and Little Monster. When dressed as Nana Knickerbocker, Captain Squawk and Mr Tumble, Justin arrived to the stage via the floor and walked past us and the 'boy' could practically touch him!
Well done to all those involved with the production it was great for kids (a bit too loud and bright at times for an old timer like myself). My only niggle is this - the merchandise was far too expensive with prices starting at £7 which with two children or more is too much I think. But maybe that's just me??

| light stick belonging to the 'boy' which he kindly let us all play with - we didn't get one for our two as they were £8 each and we felt this was too much (Burton has not let us forget this!) |

That looks like such a great show, and lovely to see you managed to make a day of it with The Boy and Me.
ReplyDeleteThe Boy looks like he's bamboozled your respective other halves with his technology skills :)
Completely with you on the merchandise, we went to see Ben & Holly Live this week, with the same prices... made the mistake of thinking our three could share one light spinner thing (it seemed like such a good idea at the time!). x
Wonderful to see kids enjoying themselves I am glad you had a fab time.
ReplyDeletewow, looks like a great show, but I'm inclined to agree with you..far too loud, I remember seeing the Tweenies a few years ago & it scared me to death when the music started! Those light things are so expensive aren't they - we've had a few over the years & they never use them again, next time I will buy something beforehand! Glad you all had a good day out - Jon looks thrilled to be at the show! haha x
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fab day out. Poppy & Rosie would love to go. I agree, Works out expensive when you have more than one :-( x
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing. Some of my friends went and had a great time, so it's really nice to see what it was like. Did you like it?
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was great, I wonder what Leo would make of all the noise, he often moans when we are in the pub about the noise! He wouldn't really know who any of the characters were though.
ReplyDeletejust realised that sounds bad 'in the pub!' Just like to point out the pubs are always full of kids and families ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great show. Fab photos x
