On Friday night, the girls and I had a very special time together. We went to Strawberry Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own Beat!
Excitement was high that entire day, my kids were literally jumping for joy and eager for showtime. They didn’t know what to expect for the show, yet knew they would see beloved friends from TV and in books.
When the show started, kids {including my own} were silent. Jaw-dropping awe at the marvel that energized the stage. Yet, it only took a few minutes for the rush to reach their little bodies. Soon, hundreds of hands clapped, waved and danced in the chairs. You could hear tiny little voices surrounding you, chattering with friends in excitement. It was incredible.
The entire show kept the attention of all, kids watching in wonder and kids staring intently at their kids, taking in each moment of their kids happiness.
The show itself had a wonderful story of friendship and following your own dreams, with lively characters and many dance numbers. During the songs, kids would literally rush the stage, dancing up front and making new friends themselves. Yes, like a mosh pit comprised of 2-5 year olds!
Near the end of Strawberry Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own Beat!, kids stayed in place right in front, not wanting to miss one minute. By the end, exhausted kids filed out of the auditorium, tired bodies with huge smiles.
While I won’t deny that the tiny screams gave me a headache, it’s worth the sacrifice. Seeing kids so happy, so involved with a production, is spectacular. Parenting is all about making memories. That’s exactly what my girls have, stories to tell of seeing the cast on stage and little purses that we purchased before the show. It really was a berry great time!
Check out the Tour Dates, there’s still plenty of shows coming to the BC area. Also, keep an eye on the happenings at Koba Entertainment, your source for fun family theatricals touring cities near you!

That looks so cute! I can’t wait until my daughter is old enough to go to shows like this 🙂
It’s so nice when they are old enough to! They really enjoy it!
I had no idea there was a show like this! My daughter would absolutely love it! This is so much fun! I loved Strawberry Shortcake when I was a kid. This is perfect for any little girl!
Yeah, I have to admit it was a good taste of nostalgia for me too!

I know my daughter would love this! I will check the dates and see if they will be anywhere close to us in the states. Addie loves live shows! Your daughters are so adorable!
Looks like a great concert! I can’t wait for my DD to get older to take her to a fun event like that!
They had so much fun, would love to take them to another live performance!
OMG, they must have been absolutely thrilled!
They totally rushed the stage!! It was awesome!
My daughters loved, loved, loved this show! Such a positive message! I just wish we could have seen the talent show :)!
How cute! My daughter, Meghan would love this show. She loves strawberry shortcake. I didn’t know they had a live show!
Sounds like they had a great time! Will have to check this show out further and maybe surprise my niece with tickets!
I remember my first Strawberry doll was Raspberry Pie – it had the sweetest smell and it was the best Christmas present in my stocking when I was a little girl. The show looks amazing – I know my kids (even the tweens) would love it!
So true, such fond memories!
My daughters would love this….hoping it will come to our city sometime!
That looks like such a cute live show. We took my daughter to Max and Ruby live show and loved it.
I heard that was a great one!
I took my daughter to see this and she loved it…doodlebops opened lol
I was thinking of the screaming that you may have endured while taking this in with the girls but I would tend to believe that the memories make up for that 🙂 It looks like the twins had a lovely time.
That looks like lots fo fun!
