BBC Worldwide Press Releases

They’re still the ultimate Number One!

The chart-topping stage and screen superstars, The Tweenies, return with their brand new live show, Top of the Tots, coming to a theatre near you in 2009. The fab four are ready to wow audiences across the country from March to September with a fab-a-rooney collection of songs that is sure to have you singing and dancing in your seats.

Top of the Tots is an all-new music show, packed full of family favourites and includes tot-tastic tunes such as Gonna Build a House, Incy Wincy Spider, Wheels on the Bus and Do the Lollipop. But Milo, Jake, Bella, Fizz and Doodles aren’t the only stars of the show; they want you to get involved in all the fun by singing, dancing and joining in with all the actions.

Previous Tweenies Live! shows have won the ‘Best Family Entertainment Award’ in the Wembley Arena awards 2001 and 2003. Top of the Tots is an unmissable theatrical treat for young families, with its combination of musical magic and usual Tweenies energy and entertainment. This year, The Tweenies celebrate their 10th anniversary and, with their infectious musical approach to learning through play, are still bringing huge enjoyment to new audiences.

Tweenies Live! is produced by BBC Worldwide, the established producer of quality children’s entertainment with a trusted reputation for innovative live stage productions. For more information visit www.bbcliveshows.com.
