LazyTown Live! The Show With Go!
The international kids’ phenomenon LazyTown, is coming to the stage in Australia, in a FULL ON 90 minute stage spectacular LazyTown Live! for strictly limited seasons at the Arts Centre State Theatre Melbourne 8th – 11th July and at Sydney’s Theatre Royal, from July 15th.
Created by Magnus Scheving and based on this new sensation which airs on ABC TV in Australia and 118 countries around the world, when Lazytown Live! premiered in the United Kingdom in 2008 it sold a record-breaking 450,000 seats and immediately became “the must-see show” for all boys and girls under 10 years of age. Lazytown Live! features awesome acrobatics, colourful characters and an important message for children that a healthy lifestyle can be so much fun and is definitely the way to go!
Lazytown Live! is the brand new live stage show packed with everything children love from the award-winning television programme, but with the added excitement of it being live, right in front of your eyes.
Magnus Scheving, creator, producer, founder of LazyTown.
When STEPHANIE (a bubbly and optimistic 8 year old with bright-pink hair) comes to stay with her uncle MAYOR MEANSWELL in LazyTown, the laziest town in the universe, she meets a zany gang of crazy kids including STINGY, PIXEL, TRIXIE, ZIGGY and the world’s laziest super-villain, ROBBIE ROTTEN. Fortunately for Stephanie, LazyTown is also watched over by SPORTACUS, an athletic, super-fit above average Superhero. A “number 10″, who runs, jumps, and flips his way across the stage and through this awesome adventure while delivering positive healthy messages in a skilled and entertaining way
With an all Australian cast and a mix of music, movement, humor and fun Lazytown Live! is the place to be! It may have the laziest name in the universe, but it’s full of action, energy and a powerful message that will energize and inspire children everywhere to GO! play, move, dance, sing, make new choices and feel really good about it!
LazyTown is the highest rating pre-school show on ABC TV (average 245,798 viewers) and is currently airing in 20 languages across 118 countries. LazyTown won the 2006 BAFTA award for best international children’s program and has received three BAFTA nominations in total.

Absolutely FANTASTIC… I never thought Lazytown could be pulled off as a stage show but these guys pulled all the punches… My 3 year old son came out and told everyone he’d just been on a plane to Lazytown, lol, and if I can, I’ll be taking my family holiday there again next year! Bring on 2009… Brilliant value, fantastic audience participation and fantastic actors and actresses! A must for any Lazytown fan… NO MATTER HOW OLD!!!!! Hehe… Keep up the good work… !

Took my 2 little boys to see Lazytown today aged 2 and 4 and I have never seen them so quiet in all my life (so that’s definitely a good sign), it was absolutely brilliant well worth every penny I paid, they haven’t stopped talking about it since we saw it, there isn’t just one or two things I could say was good the whole show was fab to see how excited they got watching it especially when sportacus came on. I even enjoyed it and we are all looking forward to seeing next year’s show. Debbie Smith, Sunderland Empire, UK
Fantastic we loved every second of this lively and fun show! We took our 4 year old daughter and 1 year old son they both loved it! Can’t wait for next years show and would recommend it to all! Thankyou! Sam Butler, Canterbury, UK
Wow what a show! This was far the best show I’ve ever seen in my life! Me and my 3yr old daughter were glued to it and def cant wait till next years performance. The effects were truly magical. 10/10! Andrew Patterson, Sunderland Empire, UK
This show was outstanding. We have taken our children to many shows including tweenies, Cbeebies and balamory, but this was by far the best children’s show we’ve seen. The characters were excellent and we can’t wait to go again. Alison Marshman, The Hexagon, Reading, UK
2nd time to see the show and I loved it even more than before. I cried when it had finished. Can’t wait to see it a 3rd time soon. Libby Watson, Manchester Opera House, UK
