We saw The Go!Go!Go! Show and absolutely loved it! A colourful set and the cast’s singing and dancing had my kids mesmerised! The music is excellent and it was fantastic fun for all. We loved the cast and the story held the attention of my 2 and 4 year old. Really appreciated that they took the time to sign autographs for every little one in the audience. A brilliant day out. Kids are still raving about it if only they could make up their minds who was their favourite – Holly, Gemma, Carl, Steve, Kirsten or the Fluffalope!
Excellent show. Would go again. Highly recommended.
Went to see the GoGoGo show with my 3 children yesterday and I must say it was fantastic! The songs and story had us gripped right from the beginning. The songs are so catchy and easy to remember. There is also a little dance routine that my children were doing all the way home in the car!
I would really recommend this as a fun, family time. My kids haven't stopped talking about it since and are begging me to buy the album when it comes out! it has funny, sad and exciting moments and lots of interaction with the children. All you would want from a kids show- 10 out of 10!
I went to see the Go!Go!Go! Show with my husband and two of my children aged 3 and 2. They were mesmerized and joined in with the funky dance moves and panto style shouting. They haven't stopped talking about it to everyone we meet and keep looking for the Fluffalope wherever we go.
I was a little worried that young as they are, this would be a bit too much for them and that they wouldn't sit quietly throughout. No need for me to have worried, the shows great interaction with the audience had them up on their feet, approaching the stage, and shaking hands with the five main characters. Booster seats were kindly provided to enable them to have a better view. At one stage my 2yr old daughter got so carried away she literally fell head first off her seat, she quickly recovered to resume dancing along to the funky moves she was taught.
They had opportunity to meet the cast after the show, their only disappointment was that the Fluffalope did not make an appearance in the foyer – he was their favourite (not surprising as he was so cute and fluffy!).
Scanning around the audience, I noticed older children (some looked in their teens) joining in and enjoying the show – the catchy tunes were reminiscent of S-club 7 and my husband loved them, and even commented that they are going to make it big. This had whole family appeal from Grandparents down to the youngest additions of the family and it definitely a show I will recommend as a must-see for the whole family this summer.
Would have loved to see on sale CD's/DVD's and Fluffalope's (will be on the christmas wish list for every kid who watched the show)!!!
Wow! What fantastic reviews. I haven't seen the show yet but some friends of mine went with their 3 children and like all of you couldn't stop raving about it.
Get ready to GO, GO GO! If you want a day out full of get up and go this summer holiday – make sure you don’t miss The Go Go Go Show.
It’s full of energy, zest and colour and the five main characters will inject plenty of go into your kids. The music and melodies are great and the storyline simple enough for younger children to follow and join in with.
This family pop musical is just that - one for all the family – I went along with my hubby, eleven, six and two year olds and there was something in it for everyone – even mum and dad!
My favourite character Holly with her check list of things to do reminded me of so many of my mummy friends – me included!
The male characters Steve and Carl were funny too but the girls really shone through – Kirsten on her quest to win the coveted badge collecting record and Gemma – the dumb blond with a heart.
Take a spare pair of socks to help feed the mysterious sock thief who munches his way through the show and you’ll be top mum and dad.
Oh – and wait for one of the show’s highlights – when the cast leap into the audience to meet you!
So, on your marks, get set and Go Go Go.
The Go Go Go Show – at Leicester Square Theatre, 6 Leicester Place, WC2H 7BX, from now throughout August 2010.

With all the great comments I'm getting about this show I had better borrow a couple of kids and get along to see it!
What a great show, high enegy, very interactive and kids found it extremely amusing. My 3 yr old cant stop talking about the Fluffalope! Really nice for kids to meet cast after, would highly recommend for a fab day out.
The Go!Go!Go! Show is brilliant family fun. My kids were enthralled from the beginning (me too!) and it kept their attention for the entire performance.
The music was absolutely fantastic and we all left singing the songs. I can’t believe my kids can remember so many of the words after hearing the songs only once.
What impressed me the most what how much time the performers spent with the kids after the show. They seemed very genuine and made my kids feel very special. We have already booked tickets to go again with loads of their friends.
We went to see the show last week and my daughters aged 4 and 7 loved it. They haven’t stopped singing or doing the moves they learnt at the show, we waited to see the cast afterwards and they were so friendly and genuine with the kids, they’re huge fans of Gemma and Holly now. Mine have been asking to see the show again. There was a lot of interaction with the audience and even I couldn’t help laughing at the jokes, standing up and joining in. We’ll be going again with their nanny and grandad. It was a great day out and one that I will remember for a long time, I can't remember the last time the kids had so much fun – can’t wait for the DVD so the girls can enjoy the show again and again. We'll definately be recommending it to a lot of friends in our area
We took our 3 year old and our 15 week old baby last Sunday to the 11am show and absolutely loved it. All of us. The staff were very accomodating of us with the buggy and baby and even let us bring the buggy into the auditorium and htey supplied us with a booster seat for our 3 year old. Our eldest doesnt watch tv so we were worried about her attention span, but she was transfixed and enthralled the entire time. The cast were vibrant and energetic and the songs were great and very catchy ( my husband has been singing the go go go one all week !). It is great value for money and refreshingly honest family entertainment and a fantastic way to introduce theatre to the kids – cannot speak highly of it enough !!
What a fantastic show for the kids! I took my 10 year old son, 7 year old daughter and 4 year old nephew on Saturday to see the show. It exceeded our expectations, it was BRILLIANT! The songs are so easy to sing along too and the dance moves are great. It's very interactive, high energy and the kids enjoyed throwing the jazzy socks to the Fluffalope and meeting the cast. This is definitely a must see show!
Brilliant show for all the family! Catchy tunes, colourful characters and clever set. Loved it all. I took my 2 year old son and was really worried that he wouldn't sit through...but he was completely captivated for the duration. He loved that the characters smiled at him personally. He hasn't stopped talking about Fluffalope eating socks. Great that they provided booster seats and we could store our buggy. Would highly recommend this show - a wonderful experience.
GoGoGo see this show before it ends on 30th July – it represents excellent value for a family day out. Especially brill activity for those rainy days we have been having, theatre is literally a couple of mins walk to tube station. You can book on day you wish to go if feeling spontaneous!
