Toopy and Binoo coming to stage

Those popular critters from kid’s TV, Toopy and Binoo, are trekking to the Marshmallow Moon in two live musical stage shows in Red Deer on Sept. 25.

The production by Koba Entertainment features the familiar, fun-loving characters using their imaginations on a musical quest.

They encounter a blue cat blues band, a loud-mouth crooner fish, sheep, love-struck dragons and other zany acquaintances.

The show is described as a fairy-tale for our times, incorporating music, theatre, dance, puppetry and multi-media technology. The Toopy and Binoo cartoon show that runs in Canada, Italy, France, and India, is based on best-selling books by Dominique Jolin.

Tickets to the 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. shows at the Memorial Centre are $31.35 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre.
