We just saw the Cbeebies live show in Liverpool. I'd never been to one before so wasn't sure what to expect. I was a little disappointed to find such a disparity between his favourite shows and the live performance, but I guess many of them are hard to translate to a stage. There was a strong musical theme which would have been fine, but unfortunately the songs (although v lively) were not ones that toddlers can sing along to. By the end he was dancing along a bit and enjoying it, but more singalong songs would have been good. The worst bit was an eerie scene in an old abandoned laboratory, covered in cobwebs and littered with rubbish, when echoing moans and groans announce the arrival of the 'trashmonster'. This was a Chinese dragon-style creation, carried aloft above 3 stage hands, with red glowing eyes appearing brightly in the smoky air above the dimly lit stage. Although the monster appeared only for one song (Monster Mash), my little boy was so scared that even half an hour later, as the second half was starting, he was still saying he wanted to go home. Other little ones around us were also scared and scrambling into parents' laps. I find that completely unnecessary in a show aimed at preschoolers. On the whole, I am glad I took him as it was an experience he will remember for a long time, but there was certainly room for improvement, considering the price of the tickets.

Was disappointed that the show (2012) was not shown on the big screen. For people sitting higher the faces of the stars could not be recognised. Show would have been so much better and would have attracted childrens attention more. Good storyline though

This was the first year we went to see CBeebies Live and I took my 3 year old and her 3 year old cousin. They both absolutely loved it and the faces on them when Mr Tumbles came out was something not to be missed. I wouldn't recommend it for children older than 5 as it is quite a basic show, but then I'm guessing children older than 5 wouldn't be watching cbeebies generally. Would suggest the tickets being reduced in price, wembley arena wasn't anywhere near as full as I'd expected. Will probably try disney on ice next year. But if you have 3/4 year olds who like cbeebies, I would certainly recommend this show.

I found CBeebies Live very simplistic format which was a bit disappointing for all the money paid. Toddlers however, enjoyed it very much.
Some characters seemed to be there for the sake of being there. So if your child has a particular favourite and it's not one of the main names, they may be surprised/disappointed at there almost cameo appearance.
That said will most likely be there again next year!
