Interview with Patti Caplette, Writer and Director of Shopkins Live! Shop It Up!:

YAYOMG!: What’s involved in putting together a show like Shopkins Live! Shop It Up!?
PATTI CAPLETTE: OM double G! It’s like building a small village! First, I have to hatch an idea, a concept for the show that will embrace both the Shopkins brand, as well as become a great piece of theatre! The writing of the script is the first step.

YAYOMG!: Can you share a little on the process of how a live show is created and your work as the director?
PATTI: There are so many moving parts, different creative and technical people working separately at first, and then merging together the closer it comes to the premiere! As Director, I must interact with them all, slowing guiding them towards a common vision which I must hold tightly; kind of like a captain on a ship. I work with the composers, the scenic designer, and the wardrobe, the recording of the character vocals, the singers, actors, and dancers. Whew, I’m tired just thinking about it! But I love it! It’s pure magic.

YAYOMG!: What can fans expect from the show when they attend this Fall?
PATTI: Magic! A feast for the senses! The inspired sets, amazing colorful costumes, hip hop choreography, and live singing to newly created pop tunes will have everyone engaged. The 90 minute energetic theatrical is anchored in friendship, but wrapped in fashion and fun! It’s Shopkins! What’s not to love?

YAYOMG!: What’s goes into transforming a Shoppie from an iconic doll to a character on a stage?
PATTI: The Shoppies cast is amazing and when they step on stage I’m fully expecting oohs and aahs. There were many decisions to make, like how to re-create the amazing hair styles of the Shoppies that will last a very busy touring schedule. I think we have come up with something brilliant! Footwear too, is a challenge because of the shape of the Shoppies feet. But my team are well on their way to solving all tasks.

YAYOMG!: Do you have a favorite moment from working on Shopkins Live! so far?
PATTI: So far, watching the costumes and music come to life, where I can actually ‘see’ and ‘hear’ them! But it’s usually when the cast is finally assembled and we go into rehearsals, which is a month prior to premiere. I’m so pumped for that moment!

YAYOMG!: Will there be any exclusive Shopkins or Shoppies fans can pick up at the merch booth?
PATTI: Yes – there will be exclusive Shopkins Live! merchandise only available at the show! and I’ll be first in line!
