Backyardigans in Winnipeg

Winnipeg fans will get a chance to meet the Backyardigans Feb. 10 and 11, at the Winnipeg Baby and Kids Show! (Elmo and SpongeBob Square-pants will be there, too, for Meet and Greets, but come on, what's really important here?)

The Backyardigans Mini Performance, as the show's webpage calls it, will feature Pablo, Uniqua and Tyrone. The company behind it is KOBA Family Entertainment. They also do theatrical performances based on the popular children's shows Caillou, The Big Comfy Couch, Franklin, and Little Bear.

This is the debut of their Backyardigans show, so hopefully the rest of us will get a chance to see it in the months to come. Looking at the upcoming performances for their current shows reveals dates around the United States and Canada, at theaters, malls and schools. I'll keep you updated about venues for the Backyardigans as I get information.

The Baby and Kids Show will be held at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children, starting today at Ticketmaster.
