Strawberry Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own Beat

Strawberry Shortcake Live
Yes, I spent Saturday afternoon hanging out with the one and only Strawberry Shortcake. And? It rocked. Or as SS would say, "It was BERRY Awesome."
It really was an adorable show - full of catchy tunes and good messages of friendship and girl power. Zoe LOVED every moment of it. She didn't sit down for more than a few seconds and at the end she actually rushed the stage like a rabid fangirl (check out video below - we may have to have a talk about things like this later in life...).
The show was really cute and the girls who played all the "berry" characters from "berry bitty city" were adorable and sweet. We had a VIP "strawberry milk and cookies" party to start off the show, and Zoe almost died when she got to meet and hug all the characters.
For us moms it was a walk down memory lane. I think whenever we get to do these things with our kids the memories of being 5 come flooding back.
I love what they have done to update the franchise, and we, of course, are big fans of the HUB show and I think we have watched the Jammin' with Cherry Jam DVD 28 times in the past 2 days.
While this was the US debut of the show, the show has been touring in Canada since January.
The production also brings to life her best friends Orange Blossom, Lemon Meringue, Blueberry Muffin, Raspberry Torte, Plum Pudding, and Cherry Jam and features original and fan favorite songs from the hit TV show, “Strawberry Shortcake’s Berry Bitty Adventures,” currently airing on The Hub network in the U.S. The musical adventure takes audiences to the whimsical land of Berry Bitty City where the whole town is buzzing with anticipation for the Glitzy Glaze Talent Show.
