Peter & Blue’s Forest Adventure, 5 - 8 June 2014

Peter & Blue’s Forest Adventure 

Presented by Singapore Dance Theatre

5 - 8 June 2014 | Esplanade Theatre Studio

For ages 3 and above

Back by popular demand, Singapore Dance Theatre (SDT) will be restaging Peter & Blue’s Forest Adventure from 5 - 8 June at the Esplanade Theatre Studio. Created by SDT Artistic Director Janek Schergen, this hour- long children’s ballet production brings together meaningful morals in a time of fun and adventure.

On a sunny midsummer morning, Peter, his dog Blue and cat Calico, venture into the enchanted forest in search of treats to surprise his mother on her birthday. 

In the woods, Peter and Blue meet the forest guardians, the Blueberry Boys, who lead them into the most secluded and magical part of the forest. On their journey, they meet many new friends - Mr and Mrs Strawberry, the Apple Blossom Girls, the trouble-making Thistle, Thorn, and Acorn, and the charming flowers Lilac, Rose, and Snapdragon. Each generously gives Peter special treasures to add to his mother’s birthday basket.

Peter and Blue are escorted home by their new friends, where Peter presents his mother with the basket of goodies. As the day ends, Mother tucks Peter into bed, and the forest folk watch as he falls asleep after his day of adventure.

Meet-the-characters and photo-taking session will also take place after the show.

KIds Choice Awards (KCA) 2014!

Did you get a chance to catch one of the best award shows ever with big stars, unbelievable stunts, fantastic music and above all green gooey slime on Nickelodeon? 

Yes, we are talking about Kids Choice Awards 2014 by Nickelodeon (Ch 314, 6pm) premiered on 31st March 2014 in Singapore. 

Hosted by Mark Wahlberg (un-slimable), this was really a kids choice show where kids ruled and nominated actors, TV shows, movies, music groups and even selected the slime stunt of their choice besides being given the opportunity to chose who to be slimed during the show. Coupled with the slime-fest by Nickelodeon (Viacom International Media Networks), Super Mommies & Daddies and our friends had a perfect pizzalicious family evening while watching the stars, enjoying the show full of stupendous slime rodeo, singing & dancing and looking for who finally got the orange blimps. 

Guess who won the "Favourite Asian Act" award? Yes, the famous G.E.M from China took the orange blimp back home. Where as, Kevin Hart was awarded for being a "Favourite Funny Star" by the kids.

While the famous Patrick Star from SpongeBob Squarepants took away the "Favorite Animated Animal Sidekick" award, SpongeBob Squarepants itself lead the "Favorite Cartoon" category. 

Kaley Cuoco from the Big Bang Theory and Pharrel Williams got drenched in green gooey slime apart from Todrick Hall and Chris Rock who equally rocked the show too.

On the other hand, Selena Gomez won the "Favorite Female Singer" award and famous One Direction was the winner in "Favorite Music Group" category for its amazing album - Story of my life.  

Slime, noise and kids topped the show. The host Mark Wahlberg, also teased for his unslimeability, got slimmed eventually with the river of slime gushing out on his head and body. Even so the famous magician, David Blaine tasted the slime too! 

 

"Favorite TV Actress" award was taken up by Ariana Grande whereas, Ross Lynch was given the "Favorite TV Actor" blimp. Sam & Cat was also chosen for "Favorite TV Show". 

Dan Schneider was accoladed with "Nickelodeon Lifetime Achievement Award".

Adam Sandler got awarded for "Favorite Movie Actor", Jennifer Lawrence for "Favorite Movie Actress", Disney Frozen for "Favorite Animated Movie", Justin Timberlake for "Favorite Male Singer", Robert Downey Jr. for "Favorite Male Buttkicker" and others for remaining award categories. 

American Authors performed too on "Best Day of my Life".

Verdict: KCA 2014 was really a fun, energizing and electrifying show full of surprises with slime and stars here and there and all over. Don't miss the repeat telecasts in April.
