It’s rare to find a preschool show that both children and parents alike can get down with. But Yo Gabba Gabba!, which premiered on Nickelodeon in 2007, does just that.
See for yourself at the Yo Gabba Gabba! LIVE!: Get the Sillies Out! tour, which arrives in Seattle on March 1 and 2 at the Paramount Theatre. With pops of color, characters that play off of the budding imaginations of toddlers and preschoolers, plus hot stars and musical acts, not only are the kids enjoying this 21st century phenomenon, but so are their moms and dads.
Whenever you attend a Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! performance, you can expect a nonstop party in the aisles, with both children and parents dancing and singing along to songs from the show's four seasons. The "Get the Sillies Out Tour," the third Yo Gabba Gabba! live tour, will feature musical guest Mike Park at every show; and Biz Markie will join the cast for Biz’s "Beat of the Day."
Brobee, Foofa, Toodee, Muno, and Plex will take the audience through each of their lands and DJ Lance Rock (yes, the real DJ Lance live) will say the magic words, “Yo Gabba Gabba!” to bring the crew to life. Kid’s eyes pop with excitement as their favorite characters begin moving in front of their eyes.
Surprise guests appear for each city's live performance. Past guests have included Cold War Kids, Snoop Dogg, Mix Master Mike, Dave Grohl, and Zac Brown and the Drive By Truckers.
