Our summer holidays have been so much fun this year! Today we received an invite to see Scooby Doo Live! at the London Palladium. I loved Scooby Doo when I was a kid and we love to sit down and watch episodes together.
We received a lovely parcel with our golden ticket to the theatre, a Scooby Doo magazine and some sweets which my children immediately ate. This afternoon we headed to the London Palladium to see Scooby Doo Live!
In this brand new family musical Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang have been called upon to help solve an epic mystery. A trouble-making ghost is haunting a West End theatre and Daphne (Charlie Bull), Fred (Chris Warner Drake), Shaggy (Charlie Haskins), Velma (Rebecca Withers) and Scooby-Doo (Joe Goldie) are on their way, and bringing the Mystery Machine to crack this spooky, theatrical case.
Along the way the Mystery Inc. gang meet the Theatre Manager, Walt Warner (John McManus) and Box Office Manager, Muriel Martin (Kate England), both of whom seem to know more than they are prepared to let on.
All the while local Stagehand, Wilbur (Martin Neely) seems very interested in the mysterious theatre ghost wreaking havoc with Scooby-Doo and his friends. Maybe this time the gang are in over their heads?!
The show was about 90 minutes with an interval which was the perfect length for my children. There was lots of audience participation which kept my children on their toes and they really enjoyed the experience. After the show we were invited to meet some of the cast and the children took part in a special song and dance on stage with them! We had a great time.
Scooby-Doo Live! at the London Palladium 18th-21st August with 3 shows a day. You can find out more and buy tickets at www.scoobydoolive.co.uk
