My son is set to lose it when I suprise him on Friday with a trip to Acer Arena where we are set to see Thomas & Friends Live On Stage, A Circus Comes To Town.

I can't wait to see the reaction! What a great way to keep those little ones amused for a few hours during the school holidays. Tickets are on sale now @ ticketek or visit Acer Arena for more info.

Percy, James, Gordon - and, of course Thomas - are headed your way! Join these engine friends, Sir Topham Hatt and the townspeople of Sodor for a one-of-a-kind not-to-be-missed live entertainment experience: Thomas & Friends^TM Live! On Stage: A Circus Comes To Town.

The 90-minute musical adventure, produced by HIT Entertainment and AEGThemeSTAR, includes brand-new singalong songs and a colorful cast of circus performers to tell the engaging story of how all the engines on the Island of Sodor must work together to prepare for the exciting event under the Big Top. Problems arise along the way, and Thomas has to prove he's a really useful engine once again.
