Ah, that's an excellent plan: renting a kid for camouflage.

Thanks for the reports, everyone, sounds like you all had great times!

You are obviously thinking what i'm thinking about " Nalla". But what the hell, I'll take any insider information going. (Getlazy should be proud to get this official notice).

You already have the official notice and the official notice posts under this name, not under any other!

Well, I went to see it last night and I have to agree with Nalla that it's absolutely brilliant and now I'm going to try and get tickets to see it again when it comes to Manchester, although I have a horrid feeling they're all sold out (tickets for yesterday's show were going for £150 each on eBay midweek, when they cost me around £20 each the day they went on sale).

Unfortunately I didn't manage to take any pics because I had to spend most of the show holding my son down so he didn't try and run up to the stage. But Robbie Rotten definitely stole the show (and the guys who played Sportacus and Roboticus (the robot superhero that Robbie buys) were joint second - the stunts were fantastic and Sportacus had the accent down pat).

Stephanie was a bit off-key on a couple of songs, and Pixel's headset fell off at the beginning and he had to hold it on through one song and then disappeared to have it fixed, but other than that it was a very slick and professional show. Loved it.

...You got to hug Maggi? The waves of envy, they're getting more intense by the second. ;)

Anyway, the event was a smaller, similarly titled LazyTown Live in Sesame Place, a Sesame Street theme park in my hometown. It wasn't an elaborate stage show like the one in the UK, just a mini-sode style story with a few songs thrown in. It featured a Sportacus standin (I'd like to know his name, his athletics were pretty good), Stefan as Robbie, Julianna as Stephanie, and a Ziggy puppet whose standin voice sounded more like Stingy than Ziggy. I seriously wondered if it was Jodi Eichelberger at some points.

You can still read the thread about it here, but it got locked so it'll probably be deleted soon. If that happens, I saved a copy of my report of the show and I'll PM it to anyone who wants it, plus a zip archive of the (crappy) photos I took with a disposable from long distance.

I can't wait to read a full report on this production from someone in the UK, though. It sounds fantastic.

Zokita/Fron> Of course, they will never be the originals, but the entire cast performed really well, and since the costumes and everything had been done by the LT studios, they were spot-on. Except perhaps for Stephanie, who's dress looked just slightly more like stage show Solla's dress than tv show Steph to me. Hmmm. But anyway, the puppet actors were great. Pixel & Trixie were the best (I talked briefly to the Pixel actor too, and I couldn't help laughing, he just looked like the puppet! lol), Stingy was very good also. I wasn't so keen on Ziggy (personally), but I think that was just because I could tell it was a woman. They did the best they could. And I think it was a much better idea not to go down the whole Rubber-mask route that they took in Latin America. And like I said, seriously, casting Scott as Robbie was pure genius. He really did steal the show. I can't even begin to tell you how much he sounded and acted like Stefán. He´s obviously done a LOT of homework. That photo I posted there doesn't do him any justice though.

But now it's my turn for a question. What was this event that Stefán and Julianna were at, Zokita? I wasn't aware Stefán had agreed to attend any live events himself. Was he in full Robbie get-up? That must have been pretty interesting to see. :)

Mizz Pink> Nah, Magnús won't be at them all.

LoveThyConan> Yeah, it was easy. You see, I had this great plan. I climbed into a mailbox, because I figured that nobody would ever suspect the mailbox... and it worked. I got to sneak around backstage. haha

nalla how on earth did you get all this backstage access? i have to assume that you disguised yourself and sneaked in there. lol. that's really awesome though, and i'm happy you got to meet magnus and everything.

the stage show looks so cool, i like that they decided to go with human versions of the puppets. i wish they were having one over here too, i would so go to it... despite the fact that i don't have any little kids to bring.

I like those pictures. Magnus' shots look great and the shots of the stage show are cool. Thanks for sharing those.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. The photos of Maggi are great, it's nice to see the actors without stage makeup on.

Maybe now that LT is going to be aired on free-to air in Australia, we'll get a stage show next year.

Awesome! I like that there are Stage Shows too! I thought it was going to be a mini-event of sorts.

Nalla, Nalla, Nalla. Your posts and pics are VERY good. You should get a job with the LT live UK publicity team - or am I too late in suggesting this?

[Zokita]

The Pirate Adventure 2007 live UK - PREMIERE Oct 4th

Wow, that sounds like an incredible show. I'd like to see it expand to the USA sometime, though that seems highly unlikely considering the way Viacom's treating LT like garbage over here.

The visuals look pretty good from what little I can see (though I adore the fluffy orange chair, as always). How was the acting? Were they believable in their roles, very different from Magnus/Stefan/Julianna or somewhat close? And how were Stingy/Ziggy/Trixe/Pixel handled?

I guess it's good that they're going with an entirely new cast, rather than mixing standins with the original cast as I saw last weekend (Stand-in Sportacus next to Stefan and Julianna looked strange) but they have some pretty big shoes to fill! Of course, what I'd REALLY like is a show with the entire original cast intact, but I guess that's too impractical to implement.

Also, I envy you for getting to meet Magnus. I really wish I could talk to him sometime.

How did they do the live actors as puppets? How were they?

Is Magnus at all of them?
