It’s been revealed that work is already underway on the biggest Late Late Toy Show opening ever. The programme hits the road today in search of the country’s best young performers to take part in this year’s extravaganza.
The producers behind Irish television’s biggest night of the year have announced that they’re planning the most spectacular opening number in the show’s history, and host Ryan Tubridy is excited to be back on the road for the auditions.
“I am tremendously excited to be taking the show on the road again. We did this for the first time last year and we uncovered some hidden gems that we really wouldn’t have discovered had we not taken the Toy Show to them.
“Their contribution to last year’s show was immense. There is so much untapped talent in this country and I’m really looking forward to getting out there and finding it.
“I am told the standard is even higher this year. Which is some feat given the sheer breadth of talent we unearthed on our travels last year. It’s going to be great,” he said.
Late Late Toy Show producer Katherine Drohan also revealed some details about the exciting opening number for this years show, due to air on December 2nd. She said that viewers can expect to see an amazing set made by the talent students at IADT.
“This year’s opening number is the most ambitious we have ever staged. More than 60 students from IADT Dun Laoghaire are working on special pieces to feature in the opening of the show.
“Sworn to secrecy, these students have been working tirelessly on the project for weeks now. The giant characters they are creating will be an integral part of an opening that will stretch the limits of The Late Late Toy Show studio and the imagination,” she said.
We can’t wait for this year’s show!
