Get ready to sing, dance, laugh and cheer in My First Concert: a magical live musical adventure for young children and their grown-ups!
Join Jack and Jill as they try to save the day. With the help of their friends, a very silly dog called Dilly, and special guest appearances from Pinkfong, Baby Shark, and The Zoomies they set out to create the biggest, brightest and most magical concert.
Packed with favourite nursery rhymes, fun characters, audience interaction and big concert moments My First Concert lets children become part of the show — clapping, singing, dancing and helping to save the village with music.
Perfect for ages 2–7, this heart-warming, high-energy experience shows how being kind, working together and having fun can make the world a happier place.
