What are Gabby and her best pal, Pandy Paws, getting up to these days? They’re coming to Calgary with Gabby’s Dollhouse Live! Presented by Walmart, this brand-new stage show is inspired by the magical world of Gabby’s Dollhouse, the popular preschool series from DreamWorks Animation!
In this a-MEOW-zing musical show, find out what happens when Gabby unboxes a special acorn that needs the magical touch of a rainbow to grow. What will Gabby do when CatRat causes a colour cat-astrophe and breaks the rainbow?! Gabby and the Gabby Cats must travel to some favourite Dollhouse locations to find the colours and set everything right. Gabby, Pandy Paws, and their friends will check places like the Cat-O-Sphere and Mermaid-Lantis to find the colours and rebuild the rainbow.
This original story features amazing puppets and a talented live cast of singer-actor-puppeteers. Themes of friendship, problem-solving, and creativity carry Gabby through, and children will enjoy hearing songs from the series, including Hey, Gabby, Sprinkle Party, and You Can’t Spell Meow Without Me. Children will love the fun special effects, like bubbles, streamers, and more.
From the popular preschool show, filled with cats, crafts, and colourful magic, to Gabby’s Dollhouse Live! on stage, your kids will be thrilled to experience the magic in person. It’s the perfect way to shake off the doldrums of winter and add some delight to your early spring. Get your tickets today!
