Oh my golly gosh! I LOVED IT!
It was absolutely amazing in every way and I would go back time and time and time again! It was MAGICAL! …and my daughter loved it too!
The lights come on and the audience gasps as they are greeted by one of their favourite princesses wearing a costume that is so close to perfect, she looks like she’s just walked out of the television! Each scene brings more favourites to the stage singing all the headlining tunes from our favourite films. The audience are invited to sing along and at one point, one lucky parent is invited to get on stage to perform with the stars – could that be you?
The singing is on point, pitch-perfect and the dancing is super impressive on such a small surface area – who knew it was possible to do cartwheels on the spot?! There are jokes for both parents and little ones and there’s heaps of audience participation. Something for everyone it seems, as long as you love Disney!
My personal favourite was Prince Eric who weaved in and out of the crowd in a bubble bonanza. I’ve never seen someone work as hard as he did and boy, did he bubble like no professional bubbler has bubbled before! My one-year-old was enthralled and ecstatic every time he walked, shimmied or sashayed past us. A great addition to the show that we really enjoyed and definitely needs a special mention. Most of all, the thing that made the show absolutely perfect in every way, was the look on the children’s faces the entire way through.
If you haven’t gathered already, I’m a pretty big fan of Disney, musicals and Fringe and therefore this show hit every spot for me, but for the kids, it was MAGICAL. They were transported to their favourite films and for them, the people singing in front of them really were their favourite characters. It was like Disneyland picked itself up and teleported all the way to little ol’ Perth - only so much better because there weren’t the massive queues to get a small signature! In fact, the characters waited outside after the show and had photos with their fans. Watching little kid after little kid get a high-five from Aladdin and a hug from Elsa was actually so adorable it made me cry a little.
The joy and awe on their faces was priceless. They were singing and dancing and loving every moment and for that reason, even if I had hated it (and I definitely didn’t!), I would recommend this show to every family with a little one who is in love with Disney. It is a truly beautiful, magical experience.
