Tell Me About The Wiggles (Update page 4)

[CJ's Mommy]

Dh and I took our son at almost that exact age, I think he was 13 months.

Anyway, we had really good seats, right up front. If you can't get up close seats I wouldn't recommend it. At that age, I think they really need to be right in with all the action to enjoy it.

That's just my opinion though. I feel the same way about the circus, I wouldn't go unless we could be really close. I felt that my son would be too distracted by all the people and activity in front of us to look off in the distance at what's happening on stage.

I considered this and that is why I bought the $35 ticket vs. the $18 ticket. I figured I would be okay to splurge since I don't have to pay for DS.

Thanks for the replies everybody. The concert is next Thursday so I will let you know how it went.

We went to the Wiggles concert on Thursday. DS1 had mixed reviews but I loved it. I'm such a nerd.

Somebody suggested in an earlier post that we go in early to look at the stuff for sale but I wish we wouldn't have done that. I woke DS up to go in 40 minutes before the show started. By the 6:30 start time he was wiggling (yes wiggling ) all over and crying. There is no pre-show. He was so tired for the first 30 minutes of the show that he just stared with a blank stare. When Dorothy the Dinosaur came out he snapped out of it and started pointing and smiling. Before long, he was clapping and dancing with the Wiggles. He sat on my lap for 90 minutes, and for a 14-month-old, I thought that was excellent.

I personally thought the show was a lot of fun, even for adults. I will go back when they tour again. We had seats in fourth row and now I have to agree that Anthony is the hot Wiggle. I swear, he made eye contact with me and smiled on two separate occasions and I had look away blushing.

I'm just hoping all this Dean business doesn't cause the Houston show to be cancelled.

I just went to the Chicago show tonight with my DD4 and DS22months. We LOVED them like usual (3rd show for us). Also agree about Anthony! I love how he's always cracking up on stage (like there is always some inside joke going on). He's pretty buff too!

They performed once a day, for a two-three day period just before Labor Day, I recall.
(similar promotion they have this year as well for pre-schoolers).
.
Our boy was entering Kindergarten (in NJ, we start late) so it was our 1st Annual "Hurricane Season" trip which coincided nicely.
.
Anyway the show was fine, just what one might expect. It was wholesome & upbeat. Lots of songs about healthy food, I recall.. . . it was free!
Held at the same stage as Indiana Jones, but they shut the fans off so they could later blast out some streamers into the crowd.
.
DS-4 3/4 was mildly amused but had perhaps gotten past that stage by then. Even dancing with Leo & June (Little Einsteins) at Hollywood & Vine at breakfast was good, but not great. On to Star Tours and Space Mountain!
.
Enjoy 'em while they are young!

We have tickets for this weekend in Dallas! I was wondering if they played the older songs (fruit salad, big red car, etc) or was it only the newer songs from the Racing to the Rainbow movie? I'm hoping for the older stuff!! DD can't wait to see them...me too! Helloo Anthony!!! By the way...Was Ben there too?

 

[adaygaby]

Thanks for the reviews!!

I'm taking my son this Sun. Aug 26th we will be seeing the first show, but we got the cheaper tickets..

...BTW..my birthday also. So mommy will be definitely doing some dancing, clapping, singing, jumping and much more on her day....lol

Will post a review after we go!

 

[KandiB47]

Was Ben there too?

We went to the Philly show on Aug. 12th and yes they played older stuff too including fruit salad, big red car etc... Those are the songs my 6 you knows and still loved to sing and dance along. Although she no longer watches the Wiggles she loved being at the concert and singing the songs she knew. It was her third show. My 3 yo DS knew both older and newer songs and was just so impressed he was actually seeing the Wiggles up on stage in person. He really enjoyed seeing Wags, Captain Feathersword, Henry and Dorothy the Dinosaur. We went with 3 cousins ranging in age from 16 months to 3 1/2 and they all enjoyed the show.

Yes, Ben was there too! I too am another Anthony fan!! He really does look like he is having such a good time up on stage. He and Captain Feathersword are always in full grins.

Who is Ben?

We saw the 1:30 show today in Houston, and it was great!

Our dds are 2.5. One of them enjoyed the entire show, but the other one got cranky after the first 30 min. The show was 90 min total.

ETA: The look on our dds' faces when the Wiggles came out, and they realized that The Wiggles were actually there was priceless! One dd was actually shaking with excitement!

There were only 2 songs that I didn't recognize, and all the others were their classics -- just like everyone else has already said.

We did not buy any souvenirs. I saw the prices ( ), and the girls didn't even ask for any of it so we just kept on walking. The light up big red car on a stick was $15, and a kid beside us had one. The girls didn't even notice.

Oh, we did take roses for Dorothy and a bone for Wags, but they didn't come to our section to collect them. Cranky dd tore all the roses off the stem anyway.

I also attended the Wiggles concert at 1:30pm here in Houston.

My 3 yr old had a blast (so did I). As soon as he saw the wiggles come out he got VERY EXCITED They sang all of their classics. Souvenirs were expensive. I bought my son the light stick for $15 , but I was glad he didn't ask for more. He said that's all he wanted

Towards the beginning of the show Jeff & Murray walked amongst the audience. Murray passed by our section There were good laughs also.

We had lots of fun. I'm thinking about buying tickets for the Disney Live Tour that will be here on December.

Hi Mono~rail,
Ben is a wiggly dancer,young,good looking,blonde spiky hair ,very cute in my opinion(plays ben the fish in some vids).


The prices for the souvenirs here were very expensive,we paid £12gbp for the bid red car wand,(about $22)So i would'nt have minded paying $15 for it,i also ended up buying Captain Featherswords hat and sword and a t-shirt,it was a very expensive day.x.
