´óÏó´«Ã½ Worldwide, the commercial arm of the ´óÏó´«Ã½, today announced Tweenies Live! is to take to the stage in Hong Kong, the first time a ´óÏó´«Ã½ live show has been performed in Asia.

Currently appearing at local theatres in the UK until the end of August 2009, Tweenies Live! will be co-produced in Hong Kong by ABA Productions and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Worldwide Live Entertainment with full UK cast and crew. Top of the Tots features Bella, Milo, Fizz, Jake and Doodles in an all-new music show, packed full of family favourites performed in English at the Drama Theatre, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts from 23rd September to 4th October 2009.

Top of the Tots is an unmissable theatrical treat for young families, with its combination of musical magic, energy and entertainment. The Tweenies' infectious musical approach to learning through play is still bringing huge enjoyment to new audiences today.
