Join Lolly Hopwood and the Let's Play Today Bunch for a show that will get you up and moving! Their music is infused with the nostalgia and pop sensibility of the songs from early Sesame Street, while paying tribute to contemporary kids music giants like Dan Zanes and Laurie Berkner.

Released earlier this year, Go! Go! Go! is the debut album by Lolly Hopwood and the Let’s Play Today Bunch. Written by Lolly Hopwood, a mother and musician, and Yvonne Kusters, the founder of Let’s Play Today—an international children’s fitness organization—Go! Go! Go! was created to inspire, educate, and motivate kids to exercise, to use their imaginations, and to take care of their bodies and minds. Drawing from favorite music from her own childhood, Lolly worked to make this project accessible to and enjoyable for kids and grownups alike. Children love the fun fitness games written into the songs of Go! Go! Go! They are encouraged to dance and wriggle and work the “Silly Illy Willies” out of their bodies, while “Freeze!” is a new take on a classic concept that many children’s musicians have explored, and it teaches kids to listen while being super silly. There is a red light, green light song; one about the joys of bubbles; a song about marching around like animals; and a narrative train song that invites kids to come along for the ride. Go! Go! Go! uses current youth-fitness standards as the foundation for its design, allowing children to integrate healthy habits while playing along with the songs.

It’s a great day to play!
