Yo Gabba Gabba! Cool Tricks at Myer
Thousands of Aussie kids get the chance of a lifetime to enter a cool competition and meet Yo Gabba Gabba! stars Brobee and Foofa at Myer Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne City Stores in the April school holidays. Myer will host these open auditions, giving some lucky kids the chance to star in the world premiere of Nick Jr. presents YO GABBA GABBA! Live On Stage.
Yo Gabba Gabba! is the coolest children’s TV series on the planet, and was voted the Best Children’s Show in Sydney Morning Herald’s 2008 Couch Potato Awards. The show features funky host DJ Lance Rock, five wacky character friends, a bunch of super-fun segments plus special celebrity guests including Jack Black, Elijah Wood and skateboard superstar Tony Hawk.
One of the most popular segments is Cool Tricks, where kids demonstrate a ‘cool trick’. Whether playing a recorder through the nose, skating a half-pipe or just making silly sounds, Yo Gabba Gabba! has shown the world the possibilities are endless and there is nothing kids can’t do! This segment has proven to be a huge favourite and is now a feature of Yo Gabba Gabba! Live On Stage, premiering in Australia from Friday 15 May – Saturday 31 May.
Six lucky kids will win the chance perform their ‘Cool Trick’ in Yo Gabba Gabba! Live On Stage. Open auditions will be held at Myer city stores in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in the school holidays from Thursday 16 - Saturday 18 April. Kids can come along and perform their ‘Cool Trick’ in front of the Nick Jr. and Myer judges, who will then choose the top six coolest kids per state to perform at the live shows in May!
These open auditions at Myer city stores are free events and open to the public. Each audition will feature the first Australian public appearance by Brobee and Foofa from Yo Gabba Gabba!
Until Wednesday 8 April, parents can also enter their kids by uploading a video of their ‘Cool Trick’ to the Nick Jr. website. From funny faces to playing a musical instrument, entries are open to anyone between the ages of 3 to 12. Anyone who enters online will also get the chance to compete on stage at the Myer store auditions in their home city.
The lucky winners of this ‘Cool Tricks’ competition not only get to perform alongside DJ Lance Rock in Yo Gabba Gabba! Live On Stage, they also win a VIP family pass to the live show plus a cool Prize Pack full of the latest Yo Gabba Gabba! apparel, toys and books from Myer.
