Calling all little singers and dancers! Caitie’s Super Simple Songs Surprise Party is coming to Massey Theatre on March 17, bringing a joyful, music-filled adventure perfect for preschoolers and families.

Caitie is planning a surprise party for Tobee — and kids are invited to help make it the best party ever! This 90-minute interactive show is packed with singing, dancing, and playful moments featuring favourite friends from the Super Simple Songs world, including The Bumble Nums, Finny the Shark, and Noodle & Pals.

Families can sing along to beloved hits from the hugely popular YouTube channel, like “Here Comes the Fire Truck” and “My Happy Song.” With colourful characters, catchy tunes, and lots of audience participation, it’s the kind of show that will have kids clapping, laughing, and dancing in their seats.

Whether your little one is already a Super Simple Songs fan or discovering the fun for the first time, this lively musical party is sure to be a hit.

Get ready for a night of big voices, bold looks, and unforgettable performances! Singing Can Be A Drag returns on Saturday, March 14 at 8 p.m. for its 18th dazzling edition.

Presented by the Vancouver Men’s Chorus, this one-of-a-kind live singing drag extravaganza features chorus members stepping into fabulous drag personas to deliver show-stopping performances. Expect sky-high falsettos, glamorous costumes, and a playful celebration of music and self-expression.

Each performer prepares their own number, bringing a mix of bombastic show tunes, heartfelt ballads, and high-energy pop anthems to the stage. The result? A wildly entertaining evening filled with humour, powerhouse vocals, and plenty of sparkle.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or experiencing the magic for the first time, this beloved event promises a fun, fabulous night out in New Westminster.
