When my kids were small they adored Max & Ruby on Nickelodeon. My girls still enjoy seeing live entertainment and Centennial Hall, London, has often been a space where we built happy family memories. If you ask me Centennial Hall is the perfect size for events that are somewhat intimate, welcoming, warm and family friendly. Our last show might have been The Backyardigans there. Over the past decade there have been many great Koba Entertainment productions witnessed and experienced by our family. There’s something about these entertaining productions that makes kids of us all.

Coming Soon
Max & Ruby, the brother sister duo that enchant children who are toddlers and preschoolers, with their daily hijinks on television, are embarking on a holiday season tour. How exciting and perfect is that?
For those of you who are not super familiar with the characters: Max is 3 and Rosemary is 7 and the wiser older sister always providing advice to her little brother. They sometimes stumble upon little adventures that involve some problem-solving. Their quirky sibling relationship is always at the heart of the episodes and their parents are always off screen, not full characters in any of the shows. The series came from Rosemary Wells and it has endured many years now as a staple on various networks and streaming platforms.
Details
In London, Koba Entertainment’s Max & Ruby in Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite will hit Centennial Hall November 20th. There are numerous scheduled performances as the brother sister team tour Canada. What’s lovely about this performance is the fact that something as traditional and lovely as The Nutcracker Suite story is now engaging and accessible to younger crowds. What a great way to get your children hooked on live theatre.
Why We Love This
This type of early experience can be a great gateway into lifelong appreciation of classical music. The Nutcracker Suite is set to Tchaikovsy. I personally have always felt the arts are an essential part of my children’s lives and I work hard to enrich their childhood and youth with opportunities to grow and experience theatre, visual arts and music. Never to young or too old for Tchaikovsky.
