Clifford Live at the Keswick {review}
We had a great time at the Clifford Live! show at the Keswick Theatre last weekend.
I wasn’t quite sure how they’d portray Clifford on stage, but I was impressed with what we saw. I didn’t know how big he’d actually be, but this big red Clifford was the real deal. He towered over the other actors, who were actually adults portraying kids. They were able to construct such a realistic looking Clifford on such a large scale… and he has the same friendly face we love from the books and TV show.
Emily Elizabeth was bubbly and energetic, as she told us the story of adopting her big, red friend. Clifford’s friends Cleo and T-Bone also joined them on stage. Kids will recognize the story of how Clifford met Emily Elizabeth and grew (literally) overnight. We get to see Clifford as a little puppy before he grows into the big, red Clifford that we all know and love.
Check here to see if Clifford Live is coming to a stage near you. If you have an opportunity to see it, I definitely would take the kids.
This was our first visit to the Keswick and we were happy to find that it’s very family friendly. The stage was easy to see – even for the littlest visitors. The snacks at the concession stand were inexpensive *and* you were welcome to take them to your seat. That was a nice bonus for the kids.
There’s also a free parking lot directly behind the Keswick, which makes it very convenient to get the kids in and out of the theater without having to walk too far or worry about traffic.
We’ll continue to look for more family-friendly programs at the Keswick and we wish our friend Clifford the Big Red Dog well on the rest of his tour!

Disclosure: We received complimentary passes to Clifford Live as a thank you for helping to promote the show prior to its arrival. We were not expected or asked to post a review, but we loved the show and wanted to share. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Do you plan to take the kids to see Clifford Live?
