I finally saw Judy and David's Pigmania yesterday afternoon at the Jane Mallet Theatre, the final show of their March break run.

My daughter Myrna was a singing and dancing pig, and was featured as a foxette (glamorous back-up singer to the Big Bad Wolf who was dressed like Elvis but looked more like RumTumTugger...)

I know Judy and David are immensely popular Treehouse TV celebrities, but I must say Myrna stole the show! Of course not for lack of "hamming" it up by Judy and David (especially David). Lots of audience howling, shouting, clapping, squealing, and general delight from the rugrat set.

Very simple sets, but totally in sync with the whole performance. J&D keep a strong relationship with their audience by constantly breaking the fourth wall to keep the kiddies engaged. Mark Terene (of Beauty and the Beast and Lion King fame) directed and the piece moved along nicely.

My only complaint was that the sound was a bit loud, making it obvious that some of the group vocals were tracked, which seemed unneccesary given all the enthusiastic kids up on stage from the CharActors Theatre Troupe, who sang and danced their hearts out throughout the whole show.

Next year I hear the show is going to be Red's in the Hood...
