A new immersive L.O.L. Surprise! event – the first UK family show to use holograms – is heading for Aberdeen’s P&J Live with some of the country’s favourite dolls.
From what to expect to how to get to the venue, here’s everything you need to know about the family show on Saturday March 5.
What is L.O.L. Surprise!?
A toy and children’s entertainment industry phenomenon, L.O.L. Surprise! became a hit after launching in 2016. The dolls’ celebrity fans include Kim Kardashian, Cardi B and many others.
In a world where babies run everything, L.O.L (Lil Outrageous Littles) are said to be “collectable mini baby dolls with attitude and a lot of fun surprises to discover”.
What can you expect from the P&J Live event and when does it take place?
L.O.L. Surprise! LIVE VIP Party will feature fan-favourite and best-selling characters Lady Diva, Royal Bee, Swag and Neonlicious from the craze that has swept the country.
Coming to Aberdeen’s P&J Live on Saturday March 5 with outrageous choreography, elaborate sets, glittering costumes and brand-new music, the show will be a concert-come-dance party for the whole family to enjoy.
Samantha Wilson, marketing director for L.O.L. Surprise! UK™ said: “It’s going to be a show like no other, with bubbles, projections, confetti and even holograms. We can’t wait to see our fans interacting and dancing with their favourite dolls. We have no doubt it will be a moment they’ll never forget.”
The box office opens at noon at the 90-minute show is set to start at 2pm.
Does the show have a positive message for young children?
Yes. The show follows Mallory as she gets ready for the L.O.L. Surprise! LIVE VIP Party but doesn’t know what to wear. However, the L.O.L. Surprise! Dolls are there to help her realise – through show-stopping numbers that will have families on their feet and dancing – that all that matters is being you and having fun.
Along the way, Mallory and the dolls are joined by singing life-size holograms of L.O.L. Surprise! Remix O.M.G. Fashion Dolls! Kitty K, Lonestar, Pop B.B. and Honeylicious, leaving the audience thrilled from start to finish.
Audiences will have a chance to sing along to L.O.L.’s newest hits in this concert-style ride made for the entire family.
