PT. CINQ.2 -THE SHOWS CONTINUED

 

Next up was the stage spectacular BABES IN TOYLAND! OK, for all the fun I am about to make of this right now, I must say it realy is a cute show for the kids. It is colorful, bright, and lots of fun with a bunch of cute songs and lots of eye candy for the little ones. Aside from it having some small pacing problems it realy is very well done. (Again, we were there on only their second day of performances. I think the slow parts will most likely get solved in the course of several more shows.) With that said, I will now make fun of what is actualy a fine family show.

Somehow, the parents have found the magic well, fallen down it, and arrived in toyland themselves. However, they are not greeted with the same merriment as the children. They are ushered into the evil forrest by... ...CHINEESE ACROBATS IN PIRATE COSTUMES!

Which of course means that you must sing the children off into the evil spider infested forrest while being entertained by... ...wait for it... ...MORE CHINEESE ACROBATS!

TOYLAND! Where after some clever banter, we learn the good toymaker is being held hostage in the evil toymakers shop.

Chineese acrobats? I don't remember that in the story. Anyway, the acrobats cause our young heros to fall down a well and arrive in? You guessed it...

After a plesant family reunion song in the evil forrest we find ourselves at the lair of the evil toymaker where he has imprisoned the good toymaker.

 

Lets check in on the action!

Then everybody sings, "We wish you a Merry Christmas," and lives happily ever after.

He then returns them to the town that I can't remember the name of and, gives them his once evil now good toy shoppe. And singing abounded!

The once evil, now good toymaker leads the family to his giant balloon machine where he then flys over the audience spraying confetti and glitter on all good little children. No confetti or glitter fell on my kids, should this worry me?

Then Super Toy Soldier, with a wave of his sword, both dispatches the spider, and causes the evil toymaker to lose his memory and become good.

Suddenly a giant spider crashes into the toy shop and disrupts the festivities. I'm not making this up folks.

...you guessed it! CHINEESE ACROBATS!

As it turns out, the good toymaker is actually the childrens grandfather. Through some clever exposition we find that he was kidnapped by the evil toymaker to craft the ultimate toy. A perpetual motion machine. Weird thing about the machine, it also turns toys into...

Nick,

 

I sincerely hope you take all this with a grain of salt. The Christmas event Dollywood puts on is by far my favorite one in the country. I will try and stop by your show and thank you and your cast personally when I am there next week, or on the 22nd of December. What character do you play?

 

I will post the remaining portion of my TR when I get home from work on the 22nd.

Good for you! I will definitely stop by with my family and say hi, the next time we're there.

 

Tell your cast that the work they do is awesome and we (meaning my family and I) realy enjoy the whole park experience. Especially this time of year.

I will leave you with two final pictures. One because it is the awesome Dollywood Butterfly. The other because it was just f'ing cool to see this thing in action.

This is a possum, playing possum! It was walking across the grass while we were going to our car. As we got near, it just froze up and fell over. A parking attendant told us that they do that all the time and not to worry about it. Sure enough, when we drove by to leave. It was gone! Freaking awesome! DOLLYWOOD, YOU ROCK HARD!

Dwoodx92.JPG.881cccb77c90161a1acd4ee25d3aa49e.JPG

Yay Dollywood! Thank you so much for an awesome time. You realy do Christmas right! My family and I can't wait to get back here when the rest of the extended family get here for the Christmas Hollidays.
