Macaroni Kid's Review of Nickelodeon's The Fresh Beat Band

November 20, 2014

Last week Friday, my family and I had the opportunity to attend "The Fresh Beat" show in Boca Raton at Mizner Park.

The band got "straight to it" right away with one of their knee thumping hits and the kids were immediately out of their seats. Bored kids? Oh no. Not here. There was never a moment when the kids were just plain sitting in their seats. Parents were even taking a twirl around their seats to practice their moves with their kids.



It was a virtually perfect South Florida cool-weathered evening under the stars with the kids and The Fresh Beat Band. Laughing, Singing, and Dancing for sure with the Fresh Beats is the way to go.

The show will feature Kiki, Marina, Twist and Shout performing the band’s greatest hits including “Bananas,” “Here We Go” and a remixed version of “Great Day,” plus new songs including the pop classic, “Walk Like An Egyptian.”

Nickelodeon is currently in production on Fresh Beat Band of Spies, a brand-new animated preschool series based on the hit live-action show, The Fresh Beat Band. In the new series, Kiki (Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer), Marina (Tara Perry), Twist (Jon Beavers) and Shout (Thomas Hobson) are bandmates and also undercover spies. The pop band uses their individual talents and the coolest transforming spy gadgets to outwit a goofy cast of bad guys and solve wild and wacky mysteries. The series, which teaches problem-solving to preschoolers, is created by Nadine van der Velde and Scott Kraft (The Fresh Beat Band). Fresh Beat Band of Spies will premiere in 2015.

Congrats to Judith who won tickets to attend the show!
