Bob the Builder, the popular television show character, is headed to Chicago on Saturday, Feb. 7 for two performances at 2 and 5 p.m. at the Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St.
"Bob the Builder Live! Spud's Big Mess" will be the character's first touring stage show in the U.S. in five years. Starring Bob, his business partner Wendy, machine-team members Scoop, Dizzy, Lofty and Scrambler and other favorite friends from Sunflower Valley scarecrow Spud, Farmer Pickles and Mayor Bentley.
According to the show's producers, Bob and his team build the first-ever recycling center and wind farm in Sunflower Valley. It isn’t long before some items go missing and a few of Bob’s friends mysteriously disappear. Faced with a mountain of garbage, they must figure out who is responsible for the mess and work together to fix it, while dealing with Spud’s antics.
The 90-minute show features ten original songs and sees the characters embark on an adventure that promotes positive messages of caring for the environment, recycling, teamwork, cooperation and, the importance of a can-do spirit. Several lessons are incorporated into the storyline for kids and good reminders for grown-ups:
Encouraging habits such as taking care of the earth and everything that lives on it; understanding what it means to recycle and reuse; identifying and defining a recycling center and how to find one while understanding its importance; and defining trash and recycling. In addition, show materials will include special recycling tips and eco-themed activities for kids.
All venues where the live show is performing will be encouraged to use recycling containers and include information about how to attend the show by using public transportation on their website.
