Gabby’s Dollhouse Live has officially landed in London at the Eventim Apollo and if your child is a fan, this is one show that truly delivers from start to finish. This colourful, high energy musical follows Gabby, Pandy Paws and the Gabby Cats as they set off on a magical adventure to fix a broken rainbow, travelling through worlds like the Cat O Sphere and Mermaid Lantis along the way.
From the moment the show began, the atmosphere was incredible. The energy was non stop and the kids in the audience were absolutely loving it. There was constant laughing, screaming, singing and dancing which is always the biggest sign of a great children’s show. It is fully engaging, interactive and keeps little ones entertained for the entire performance.
One thing to note is that the animated characters appear as puppets rather than full costumes. This does not take away from the experience at all. In fact, it makes complete sense for a performance of this length. Large costumes can be extremely hot and exhausting to wear, especially under stage lighting. Having previously worked as a children’s entertainer, it is very clear why puppetry works better here and it still brings all the characters to life in a fun and engaging way.
The show runs for approximately 75 minutes, split into two 30 minute acts with a short interval, which is the perfect length for younger children. All guests over 13 months will require a ticket. Ticket prices start from £27.35 and go up to £54.50 depending on seating and demand.
As expected, there is plenty of merchandise available. Prices are on the higher side, so it is worth being prepared. Programmes are £5, T shirts £24, hats £15, headbands £10, bubble wands £16, bag clips £15 and small plush toys £22. These are completely optional, but helpful to know in advance if your child is likely to ask. You can probably head to your local Primark and find a few Gabby’s Dollhouse bits for a lot cheaper.
Overall, this is a brilliant live show for younger children and especially for Gabby’s Dollhouse fans. The music, visuals and interactive elements make it a really fun family day out in London and one that is well worth booking.
