Tweenies Live!

St George's Hall It's not a good idea to keep a theatre full of under-fives waiting for longer than is necessary.

Tweenie-mania had hit Bradford and the crowd was buzzing. But the start of the show was delayed by 15 minutes - maybe one of the Tweenies had thrown a hissy showbiz fit backstage - and by the time Milo, Fizz and the gang finally hit the stage, concentration spans were running out.

But such is the popularity of the children's TV favourites that the fab four soon had the young crowd in the palm of their multi-coloured hands. And it turned out to be one of the best live children's shows I've seen; full of fun and colour, with a nice little story and catchy sing-along songs moving at just the right snappy pace to keep even the toddlers enchanted throughout.
