Hosted by MODO Live and TO Live, this fun stage show brings the magical world of Gabby’s Dollhouse to life, based on the popular preschool series by DreamWorks Animation.
This brand-new stage show is set among colourful sets, which gives it a dynamic visual style. You will feel like you’ve jumped right into the cartoon! In addition, this meow-velous musical extravaganza features a full cast of talented live actors in vibrant costumes, along with incredible life-sized puppets.
So, join the sprinkle party with Gabby, Pandy Paws, Cakey and the whole Dollhouse Crew. In the story, they discover a special acorn that needs a rainbow’s magical touch to grow. The pesky CatRat has caused a colour cat-astrophe, so Gabby and the Gabby Cats must search through familiar places like the Cat-O-Sphere and Mermaid-Lantis to find the colours and rebuild the rainbow.
This paw-some on-stage spectacular is filled with bright sparkles, imaginative crafts, and inspiring music. Certainly, Gabby’s Dollhouse fans will love to sing along to their favourite songs from the TV show, including “Hey Gabby”, “Sprinkle Party”, and “You Can’t Spell Meow Without Me.” Plus, they can boogey with DJ Catnip and go on an underwater adventure with MerCat!
