Curious George LIVE!

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 by Casey Mullins
I come to you as a seasoned veteran of kiddie shows. Some involving ice skates, some involving trampolines and all of them involving sequins.

Our first "show" was the circus. Addie fell asleep by the end of it.



There were a few puppet shows and plays sprinkled in here and there, we also went back to the circus, but the next big show was Sesame Street Live. Elmo, Cookie Monster, the whole gang. I hate to admit it but I'm pretty sure the only person who liked it more than me was my friends two year old (she's in THAT Elmo phase, every parent knows of the Elmo phase I speak of.)

We then hit up The Wiggles. Wow. The Wiggles. Really there are no words for The Wiggles live and in the flesh except "Hot Potato Hot Potato!" (And others, but let's keep this family friendly, the point is my friend and I survived with battle stories and Addie and her little friend loved it.)

To tell the truth I was a little bummed I was out of town when The Imagination Movers came through Indy, that Smitty, always thinking.

We did hit up Disney on Ice Celebrations. Aside from the fact our tickets were stinkers, I managed to get a little teary at all the Disney Magic.

Why do I tell you all of this? Because we are the parents. Sometimes we have to do things for our kids that make us want to tear our ears out. Other times we do things more because we want to do them but we have the excuse of "OH MY KID TOTALLY WANTS TO DO THAT." (For example, I could watch Princess and the Frog over and over and over...but I don't, because I'm almost 30. And almost 30 year olds sitting alone in theaters crying over dead cartoon bugs is not really healthy. So I bring along the five year old and balance is restored.)

Whether Curious George is your thing or not, your kids are going to love this new Curious George Live show that will be going on at the Murat Theater Friday February 5 through Sunday the 7th. I consider myself a bit of an expert with kids shows at the Murat and I can safely say that anywhere in the balcony is the place to be. So whether you consider a singing monkey equal with Harry Connick Jr. serenading you or you rank it right up there with bamboo under your fingernails...take it from this survivor...DO IT FOR THE KIDS.
