The Moblees Live At St Jacobs Country Playhouse
Drayton Entertainment is bringing the children’s television
series The
Moblees to Kitchener Waterloo Ontario for a live show at St Jacobs Country
Playhouse. The Moblees Live! On A
Wishin’ Mission will be taking the stage for 8 performances this April.
We had the opportunity to interview David Connolly the director and
choreographer of the show. Here are his
thoughts.
- When it comes to The Moblees how does choreographing a production
like this differ from a stage musical like Pirates Of Penzance? The foundation is the same - “what movement is required to have
these characters best tell the story?” In the case of the Moblees,
the entire plot of the show is based on movement so there’s a lot more
choreography to create than in a traditional musical.
- How much time and practice was involved in creating this Moblees
Live show? The Moblees Live show is an extension
of the television series which I co-direct and choreograph so really, the
live show has been in development for years.
- How do you think the young attendees will react to seeing their
favourite television characters live on stage? Preschoolers are always thrilled to see their favourite TV
characters in person. It’s like meeting your hero at
Disneyland. Watching the kids watch the show is always my favourite
part.
- The message from The Moblees is to encourage children to be active.
Will the audience be encouraged to move like The Moblees during the
performance? Absolutely! Everybody get
ready to Purple Party Twist!!!
- What sort of motivational messaging will the parents and family
members take away from this show? On their “Wishin’ Mission” to
help the Wishing Star get back up into the sky, the Moblees learn it’s
better to give wishes than to get them.
- When you were a child, which television series did you enjoy most
and did it inspire you to start your journey of where you are today? I had my very own tickle trunk because of Mr. Dress Up and
considered Casey a very close friend. I also loved The Friendly
Giant and Romper Room. All those shows nurtured my imagination and
love of music so yes, they absolutely inspired my journey.
- Which of The Moblees is most like you? Great question that I’ve never been asked! I would say I most
relate to Carlin’s high-energy and spontaneity
