Dec15 School Holiday - Show time! (Part 2)

After the past few days of show hopping (check out my Part 1 post), we watched 3 more shows this week. Here's the sharing.

1) Alvin and Chipmunks show @ Eastpoint Mall

It was a 4pm show on a weekday so the crowd was managable. 

It was like a concert show of the cheekmunks singing pop and christmas songs. There was some 'snow' and bubbles displayed and the kids were ecstatic. The show lasted for about 25mins.

However my gal looked bored and was not as engaged. She actually covered her ears at one point as the music was quite loud. Perhaps she was not too familar with the chipmunks and the pop songs they sang did not relate well to her. 

Ting Ting : 3.5/5

2) Mr Men Little Miss show @ Bedok Mall

We hopped over to Bedok Mall for the Mr Men Little Miss show at 7pm. The crowd was managable as well. 

There were 4 characters performing and they were Mr Strong, Mr Bump, Ms Sunshine and Ms Hug. There was a short skit about sharing a hug which I think is quite meaningful. The show lasted for about 20-25mins. 

My gal was quite engaged with the show and she managed to tell me that she liked Ms Hug the best among the rest of characters. 

Ting Ting : 4/5 

3) Dora the Explorer show @ Suntec City

Dora is her first favorite character and she's been crazy over Dora ever since. So this is another 'must see' show. Last year we watched Dora show at United Square which was quite a good one. So this year when Dora show coming again I quickly marked it down on my calendar to watch on the first show on the first day it started. 

When we went there 30mins before the show started, the place was already very crowded and we were sitting way behind. What I liked about the Dora show was 30mins before the show started, they actually played Dora and Paw Patrol cartoons on the big LCD screen to keep the children occupied. This is the first show which did this so far and I think is a nice touch. 

They performed a short skit and some singing and dancing. Some popular characters were there too like Dora, Boots, Diego and Chase and Marshall from Paw Patrol. It is one the best show which we watched so far. The show lasted for about 30mins. 

My gal was fully engaged throughout the show and her eyes were like glue on to the stage. After the show ended, she refused to leave and hang around the stage to watch the Dora cartoon which they played on the LCD after the show. She is such a die-hard fan of Dora! 

Personally, I also like Dora the Explorer the best among so many characters. The character is positive, likes exploring and helping others. The cartoon series are educational too which teaches children about how to be resourceful to help others or achieve the goal.  

Ting Ting : 5/5

Verdict 

If you have time for only one show, go for the Dora or Barney show as these are the best 2 shows we had watched so far. But you got to go quickly as the shows only performed for a limited time. 

So this marks the end of our first week of show hopping. We are going to take a rest on the weekend as usually the shopping malls will be extremely crowded! 

Next week we will continue our show hopping and other kids activities. Stay tune!
