We went to the 4:00 show at the State Theater in Minneapolis.
We were in the second row of permanent seats, right on the center aisle. Our theatre sut up 2 rows of folding chairs in front of the premanent seats, so we were in the 4th row. But once the Wiggling started, the kids went up to the front anyways. Susan got down on the ground and crawled around with the little Dorothy beanie we got her, and stood up and clapped and waved her hands in the air. Christopher got a Pirate hat, and hardly used his seat at all.
Anthony was the one who introduced most of the songs.
We especially loved the part where Captain sang "Quack Quack" in different musical styles. He did Elvis Presley, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, ABBA, Teletubbies, and a few more. We were laughing so hard!
When it was time to bring the roses to Dorothy, I carried Susie right up to the front. She got shy, so I handed them up (Christopher handed his own) , and he touched me while he was taking them. I think he may have dripped on me too. He then said, "Look we have some more roses from Christopher and Susan!" Christopher was soo excited. Someone even brought a bone for Wags.
They sounded really good, and really looked like they were enjoying themselves, especially considering they were on their 3rd show of the day. They did lots of our favorites, including Hot Potato and Big Red Car, Jeff fell asleep, The Captain tickled people, and Murray played guitar. They look like they are all working sooo hard.
They did lots of extra things, which they didn't have to do; like when the Wiggles weren't onstage, (Cap'n and Dorothy were), we could see that several of them had run up to the balcony to meet some of the kids up there. Several times, they stopped the show briefly to respond to kids who were saying something to them. They all looked like they loved what they were doing.
It was about an hour, which would have seemed short, but we were worn out by then anyways.
We had so much fun! we went out for dinner afterward and by the time we got home, the kids were pretty much asleep for the night. Mom and dad weren't far behind.
I'll post pix if they turn out!
If you get a chance to go, I really recommend it!!!

It was soooooooo funny! 
Jeff was in charge of collecting all the roses at our show... but Anthony came down and grabbed the big box of cookies that someone had given and said he'd "Take care of them for Dorothy"! LOL 
I finally met him on October 5, 1999. I ran up to the front row when he called us to fill the empty seats and trampled the toes of an innocent bystander in the process. I beat my hands bloody on the stage and lost my voice - even though I had a student teaching observation the next day - by repeatedly screaming "I LOVE YOU ELVIS!!!" He finally relented and responded, "I love you too." 
Why would I make that up???
