MILKSHAKE! LIVE
Channel 5’s new live show has some familar faces taking to the stage
Imagine walking into a theatre and i nding the lead characters from nine of your favourite TV programmes standing together on stage. Not great for suspending disbelief in their storylines, maybe, but exciting nonetheless; and even more so when you’re under 10. On tour across the UK for the fourth time,
Channel 5’s Milkshake! is weaving a host of its popular characters into ‘The Magical Storybook’, directed by presenter Derek Moran. With Bob the Builder, Noddy, Toyland Detective, Fireman Sam, Shimmer & Shine, Pip Ahoy!, Winnie & Wilbur, Wissper and, of course,
the Little Princess (pictured) all making an appearance. It’s going to be one busy dressing room; especially with Milkshake Monkey also along for the ride. This time around, the music, singing and
dancing will be centred around fairytales familiar to everyone, from toddlers upwards. ‘It’s a magical show full of audience participation,’ says Moran, ‘and I think people will love the classic fairytale storylines, the songs and seeing lots of their favourite Milkshake! characters live on stage.’ (Kelly Apter) ■ Usher Hall, Edinburgh, Thu 5 Jul.
