So we did not know if Hunter would be too young to go and see the Backyardigans live here in St. John’s, but I purchased tickets anyways. He loves music and bright colours so I thought he would at least look interested.
Luckily I purchased tickets through Sonic Concerts pre sale so we had seats in the second row, we were close so we could see the stage and all characters up close.
The concert was held at the Holy Heart Theater (brought back memories as this is my old High School). We got there for what we believed was early, but couldn’t find a parking spot anywhere. I quickly remembered Sobeys behind Heart so we went there to park. It was a perfect parking spot because there is a paved pathway from Sobeys to Holy Heart now (wasn’t there when I went to school, we had to jump through a fence, but that’s another story).
We already had our tickets so we went straight in. Hunter is not old enough to see the lights and t-shirts that were being sold in the porch so we walked past that as well. It was packed, glad to see that these types of concerts do so well here. There were kids running everywhere and they were all so excited to see the Backyardigans.
The show started promptly at 4pm (there was an early show at 2pm). Hunter loved the actress playing the alien, he wouldn’t take his eyes off of her and her green hair whenever she was on stage. Overall, it was a great show. Hunter got squirmy at the end of it, but that is to be expected for an 11 month old. All of the children seemed to really enjoy it and were going nuts over Pablo!
Hunter was a bit young to really understand, but seeing how it was his first concert experience I think he did great. There were very young babies and older children there as well. We had a great time!
