1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Quite in theme with a fantastic afternoon enjoyed yesterday and

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: a pretty special one. Amber and I took three and

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: a half year old Alice to her very first live

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: stage show at the Event Center, the grand Splash finale

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: of Children's Theasters, finding Nemo Junior and thankfully Alice made it.

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: She had a pretty rough weeping under the weather even

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: mister good Buddy's fifth birthday party on Saturday, but was

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: not going to miss catching this wave. No. We even

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: had Grandma kindly anchoring down at home to babysit we William,

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: so our first outing was just Alice since he was born,

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: which made it extra special. Before we left, Alis rated

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: her costume box and insisted on wearing the bright orange

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Nemo dress that she's had for a wee while. Now

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: the perfect outfish outfit should I say for this little

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: clownfish walking in and immediately the stage hads hoked. They

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: transformed it into a glowing underwater reef thanks to those

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: jaw dropping UV effects. A load of work going into

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: making that set and then the show itself pure magic,

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: not a single one of the sixty odd kids missing

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: a beat. Whole school of talent, the costumes, were an

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: eclectic ocean of creativity, including those larger than lifehead pieces

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: which must have been a bit of a tight squeeze backstage.

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: The cast making waves, the lights of Cara Is Nemo

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: and Medline as Dory nothing short of awesome with their

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: with great voices, loved Brooklyn as crushed the turtle, Yeah dude,

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: and also the young man I didn't catch his name,

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: but the one that was battling the seagulls had me

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: laughing every time the Mine Mine moments came on. Got

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: a sandwich in the end, the set a pack to

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: the girls, a complete sell out as it deserved to

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: be bumped into musical director Lucy afterwards, who was just brimming.

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160
