Are you ready to be spooked… and by spooked, I mean giggle and have some fun laughs with some seriously silly (but trying to be a little scary!) characters? There is a new family friendly live show event traveling into Metro Vancouver Cineplex theatres and it the perfect way for families to explore the magic of Halloween, without the scary. Get up close with Vinnie the Vampire, Wendella the Witch, Wolfgang the Werewolf and many more interactive characters and help Zoe and Justin on their quest to save Halloween!
“The Great Big Boo!” combines the best of musical theatre and the Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating in a fun theatre experience that is sure to delight all ages.
The 50-minute non-scary live show follows the story of Zoe and Justin who sing and dance their way through Boo Alley on a quest to save Halloween, meeting larger-than-life characters along the way. The show features a dynamic original score and spectacular dance numbers. After each show, the audience will be invited to meet the stars and join them for a fun, trick-or treat event.
