My Lucia Sign + Stickers I Made

I went to the 6 PM show at Tysons and made a sign for Lucia and stickers for as many characters I possibly could. I forgot to make a bearded Lachy sticker ;-;

But everyone seemed so impressed by my artwork! They definitely recognize it over the years.

Anthony coming around twice asking if Lucia got the sign, me having a little side conversation with Lucia as if there’s not a whole concert happening right now LOL 😭, Lachy and Lucia literally pointing me out in the audience AAAAA MY GOSHHHH THEY’RE ALL SO INCREDIBLY KIND AND AMAZINGGGG!!!

Lucia put up the sign in front of the drum set for the remainder of the concert and shared the sticker of her on her story!

If anyone has any doubts about seeing the Wiggles whether you have children or not, throw all those worries away. I can 100% guarantee you it’s worth all of your time.

I'm curious

Is there any wiggle members you don't like or maybe you prefer a different wiggles member better or any wiggle members you think should've stayed unlike others? Cause personally I really like the group from the 90s the best

Meeting the Wiggles - Charlotte, NC

We took our daughter to see the Wiggles in Charlotte last night. It was our first time seeing them and they did not disappoint! We had such a blast. My daughter got a high five from the Tree of Wisdom and Captain Feathersword talked to her for a minute when he collected her sign. I was completely over the moon for her. But that wasn’t even the best part. To our surprise we were staying at the same hotel as the Wiggles and got to meet several of the members! Talk about luck! We got to meet Anthony, Lucia, Lachy, Tsehay, Caterina, and Buddy! Caterina played peekaboo with my daughter in the elevator. Lucia (my daughter’s favorite) held her hand and talked to her for several mins. They were all so incredibly nice and they were kind enough to take several pictures with us. My daughter was in complete awe and recognized all of them immediately even out of their costumes. What an incredible end to our already amazing night!

Most Improved Wiggle

Back when she first joined, things with her performance were a little rough and wioden. One Redditor's description of her was "Evie looks like she has been kidnapped by The Wiggles and is playing along until she can escape."

But she stuck with it through the years, and she has really upped her game. She now seems like she belongs among them. Is she my favourite Wiggle? No. But I want to give credit where credit is due and acknowledge that her hard work has begun to pay off in recent seasons. It really makes a difference. Good on you, Evie!

Looking for advice. Bringing 3 year old?

I have tickets to see The Wiggles in Boston at the Wang Center and planning to take my 3 year old toddler. I just looked at the tickets and it explicitly states “Not Recommended For Children Under Age 4!”
Is it because the show would be too overstimulating and they don’t want to deal with young ones crying during show? Just wondering if I should sell my tickets while I still can?

Is Anthony Okay??

So I went to the Charlotte show tonight and the vibe between the cast was OFF. It was very clear that Anthony was suggesting songs not in their list, saying off the wall stuff, and the rest of the cast had to kind of riff off of it/make it work. My spouse and I both did/love theater so we saw quickly how the show is basically ran like a play, so having to improv isnt really a choice. After a while it wasn't as noticeable, but he was slurring his speech, saying odd things, interrupting the other cast mates while talking, etc. I dont want to assume anything, but it was definitely an off feeling between the cast & him tonight.

All this to say, the live show was AMAZING and I highly recommend to anyone thinking about going. Even with the stuff I mentioned, it was an outstanding show with affordable merch and catered for all ages to enjoy🤍

Today’s final studio album: Let’s Eat!

Year: 2010
Eligible Songs: 28
Other eligible songs: all other tracks on the album
Ineligible songs: nil

Remember you can vote for other tracks via the comments. Highest vote (or a single comment with more upvotes than the poll-winner) wins the nomination.

Mascot Performers

This post was inspired by a comment in my Wiggly Friends post.

Who are your favorite performers for Dorothy, Wags, and Henry? Here are mine:

Dorothy: Leeanne Ashley, Corrine O'Rafferty, Kelly Hamilton, Emily McGlinn

Wags: Andrew McCourt, Edward Rooke, Kristy Talbot, Adrian Quinell

Henry: Reem Hanwell, Mario Martinez-Diaz, Leanne Halloran, Clare Field, Rebecca Knox

*You don't have to answer, this really doesn't make a difference in the long run. I don't think it really matters who's in the suit. If they can pull off the performance well, that's all that matters*

US Pre-Show Party Experience - help!

Hi! My husband and I will be taking our 3yo to the Wiggles live show in Boston next week. We had purchased tickets for it off of StubHub and our tickets included VIP passes for the pre-show party experience. My issue, however, is that because we bought the tickets off of StubHub we never received the instructions about the pre-show (what time to arrive, where to go, etc.).

Has anyone here done the pre-show experience in the US so far and can maybe provide me with some insight on what time we should be arriving so we don’t miss it? We are starting to panic about possibly missing it without the instructions. Thank you in advance!! 💛

A Wiggly Retrospective Conclusion

Note: I’m summarizing on everything covered in the band’s 20-year timeline, meaning everything between 1991-2012

And so folks, that will do with this Wiggly retrospective.

As I said in my first Wiggles Retrospective post, listening to this band’s music back in 2019-2020 has given me an ear for music and a new appreciation for soundtracks of my favorite shows.

And of course, I’ve gained a new appreciation for The Wiggles’ music (well when talking about the originals and Sam I mean). Listening to their songs has given me an inspiration to sing for no reason whatsoever.

And going through these videos, albums, series, and other discussions has made me appreciate their productions and the characters a bit more.

My favorite thing about the characters is the bond they share with each other (on-camera or off-camera) feels genuine. Whenever they tease each other, it’s done out of love. That was something brought up in The Wiggles Take on the World documentary.

When it comes to children's shows, my number one favorite is still Blue's Clues, but The Wiggles certainly takes entry #3 or #4.

Every musician, vocalist, guest star, or director who worked with these albums, videos, and other projects deserve all the praise they have.

I discovered that my personal favorite era of the original Wiggles is 1995-2001, when each of the characters got a moment to shine or leave an impression, the production values were steadily improving, and their sound became the most iconic. I have the most connection with this era and most of my favorite videos come from this time period.

If I had to pick a second favorite era of the band, I'd choose 2005-2009. Even if I wasn't the biggest fan of Hot Poppin Popcorn or thought TV Series 4 and 5 was just passable, It marked a seamless transition between the Original Wiggles and Sam Moran.

As for the Sam era, despite me not having watched it as a kid, I found some aspects and songs to appreciate. I still stand by that he was as a good replacement and others seem to agree. Proving that the band could continue without one of the original Wiggles. Even though there are a few infamous aspects that carried over in the later years.

I also genuinely enjoy the Dorothy the Dinosaur spinoff and I am curious as to what this upcoming Dorothy project is if it ever comes up. I hope it's in line with the 2007 spinoff/series, because I would love to see Dorothy, Wags, Henry, and Captain Feathersword play off each other some more. Which is something that hasn’t been as present in the current era.

As for the new Wiggles, while I'm not as interested in them, I do check them out occasionally - mostly out of curiosity. I admit having 8 wiggles instead of 4 (and the inclusion of Bubbles the Mermaid, Tree of Wisdom, Shirley Shaw, Bok the Hand Puppet, etc.) makes the group feel overcrowded. And it leaves other characters to the sidelines.

Another criticism I have (that others may have too) is the songs and pacing of a few episodes feel way too fast. I remember someone said the visuals were too overstimulating or colorful in the new generation.

That's another reason why I prefer the original lineup and Sam era. There were only 8 characters (9 at most if you include Officer Beaples, Professor Singalottasonga, Ringo the Ringmaster, etc.) and the simplicity of their songs and stories.

I might check out the 2013 era at some point (I have the first five videos) and I'm aware I haven't talked about Space Dancing, so who knows? Maybe I might cover them at some point as post-retrospective discussions. Don't quote me on that.

Like other people there are several concerts I hope to see in the future:

  • Wiggly Party Live: obviously with Wiggly Party being my favorite video/album
  • Santa’s Rockin’ Live: apparently rare songs such as Another Cuppa and Silver Bells That Ring the Night were performed
  • Pop Go the Wiggles Live: Fernando Jorge Moguel and Carolyn Ferrie were on tour, so I’m curious to see that as well

That might be excessive, but I imagine there are others who may want to see them as well. That is if footage of them even exists.

To conclude, comment below: If you grew up watching The Wiggles (whatever era it may be) how have they changed your life?

Also to conclude, here are my favorite things from the band. Comment below these if you can. Some of you already commented on these things in my previous posts:

Is it just me or Tsehay prettier when not in the wiggles

I don't really like her in the wiggles but I don't hate her.... However I don't think the clothes style suits her... Like don't get me wrong she's pretty but Ive seen her in a dress with a slicked back bun and she was STUNNING ...I might just be biased

Release the lost 2006 Mandarin Wiggles series

There's a piece of children's TV history that's been lost: the 2006 Mandarin Wiggles series. For fans around the world, this show holds real nostalgia and represents something special—a moment when The Wiggles embraced global culture and brought joy to kids in Mandarin-speaking regions. I started a petition asking The Wiggles to release this series publicly. It's not just about rewatching something from childhood; it's about preserving media that matters and showing that diversity and cultural exchange deserve to be celebrated, not forgotten. This series is proof that The Wiggles' appeal genuinely transcends borders. If you grew up with this show or think it deserves a second life, consider signing and sharing. Have you seen clips or memories of the Mandarin Wiggles? I'd love to hear what makes this series special to you.

Tour story- Wiggles are amazing!

We attended the afternoon show on Wednesday in Orlando for my daughter's 2nd birthday. We traveled 2 hours so we made a trip of it. We got in the day before and went and played at the Florida Mall (it's HUGE). While we're walking around we see Anthony. We talk for a few minutes and got some pictures with him. He was so nice and seemed tickled pink that he had fans in the mall lol.

The next day is the show. We have a happy birthday sign. They always do signs at the end of the show (which they still did.) But about 15 minutes into the show they are running around the audience. Anthony sees our sign and sees us and recognizes us. He takes our sign up on stage, stops the show (they're about to sing do the monkey), and then Anthony tells the story of seeing us in the mall and has everyone sing happy birthday to my daughter. It was one of the most special moments of my life. I feel so special that Anthony took the time for a special birthday shout-out for my daughter and hearing the whole venue sing for her was just amazing. My momma heart is tickled pink. Just wanna say that they are absolutely amazing people that really care about what they're doing and want to make the kiddos feel special!! What an amazing show!

VOTE: Day 7 - Favourite Sam-Era Wiggles Song Bracket

I was walking in the park one day; having a busy Reddit day; I scrolled down, and what did I see?; there was a Wiggly poll waiting for me!

It’s day 7 and we’re nominating one song from each of Sam’s albums to build the bracket.

Today’s album: The Wiggles Go Bananas!

An album chock-full of catchy animal songs; it ‘feels’ like a stronger album than the sum of its parts. And surprisingly few of these songs were performed ever again! Also featuring three guest stars, easily the most memorable of which was Kylie Minogue in her custom-cut pink skivvy!

Year: 2009
Eligible Songs: 25
Other eligible songs: all other tracks on the album
Ineligible songs: nil

Remember you can vote for other tracks via the comments. Highest vote (or a single comment with more upvotes than the poll-winner) wins the nomination.
