OHMYGOD HEY!
Earlier this week I had one of the best days ever when I was asked to join the cast and characters of the new WINNIE THE POOH musical for a day of themed activities and press opportunities in the actual inspiration for the 100 Acre Wood, Ashdown Forest.
The show opens at London's Riverside Studios in March before embarking on a UK Tour and stars Jake Bazel, reprising his rope as Winnie the Pooh.
Check out today's adorable new vlog to find out what we got up to and get a sneak peak of these fantastic characters!

MickeyJo x Winnie the Pooh is a collab I didnt know I needed until now
This reminds me of a Disney channel show from the 80s/90s called Welcome to Pooh Corner where the characters were all puppets and people dressed in mascot type costumes. Does anyone else remember this?! I LOVED it as a small child. These puppets are gorgeous. What a magical day!
I remember Welcome To Pooh Corner!
@@Showtunediva Yes! Loved Welcome to Pooh Corner. It was before school show. That and the live-action Dumbo's Circus. Both amazing!
@@Oper905 Omg yes! Dumbo's Circus was so good!
@@Oper905Yes! I remember both shows fondly! 💚🖤💚
@@Oper905 Same. Minus the singing about child molestation part ("Too Smart for Strangers" PSA).
I am so jealous I would love to do that tour 😭 I love Winnie-the-Pooh
A day I won’t be forgetting in a hurry! 🥰🥰🥰
Wow a dream of a day, amazing to go to the actual 100 acre wood & do Pooh sticks there with all the characters. How incredible to have Pooh food and drink !!!!
I am now very disappointed by food that is not winnie the pooh themed tbh
@@MickeyJoTheatre 😂 just seen that teddy bear toast is a real thing always at Pooh’s corner, having to head there and Ashdown forest 🌳
I want to hang out with Eeyore! He just makes me happy. I was quite obsessed with him back in the day and still have a soft spot for him.
That day looked so magical and fun! Can’t wait to see the show in Cardiff
If you have time in your trip, the New York Public Library has a Treasures exhibit including the childhood toys that Winnie the Pooh and company are based on.
That was too cute, looks like a lovely fun experience and Pooh etc are all adorable! The actors are great too! Looks to be a good show!
Since you're going to NYC in March - the New York Public Library (Bryant Park) has the original Pooh bear (along with Tigger, Kanga, Piglet, and Eeyore. Sadly Roo is missing ) in their collection that you can visit for free at their Polonsky Exhibition :)
Little Roo got lost at the orange grove at the Milne Estate in Sussex. Also, Piglet had to be rebuilt somewhat because his face got chewed upon by a neighbor's dog (reminds me of the "Pooh Day Afternoon" episode of _New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh_ since that episode has CR taking care of a neighbor's dog & Piglet keeps worrying that the dog was trying to eat him, since the dog kept knocking him over & repeatedly licking his face).
I love seeing you as a person (not just as a theatre critic) with Aaron. Lovely!!
I couldn't quite make them out earlier, but when I saw Kanga and Roo in the hotel, I burst into tears. Good tears. There is something so amazingly motherly about Kanga (well, doh, she IS a mum). But I LOVE the pairing! And then when you guys discusses the different characters at the end... yip.... tears! Oh, Mickey, I'm so incredibly jealous. Funnily enough, I didn't think I would be, but this was Super FAB!!!
I want to hug Pooh & all his friends! This melted my heart!
I almost went to the Chicago limited run last May, but I was too busy with work and adult stuff. Now I'm kicking myself that I didn't take time out for my main boy Pooh.
When I say I'm a Pooh stan, I mean that, until I started school, I watched "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" on repeat 3-5 times per day. Mind you, I'm a '95 baby, so my parents had to rewind the VHS every time the movie ended or I'd have a meltdown. Winnie the Pooh means everything to me, and it's my life's mission to get to the Hundred-Acre Wood
Oh my god I'm tearing up just WATCHING this. My inner child needs a day like this ASAP
My mom got me tickets for this for Christmas and it was such a lovely time!!
What cool trip! Pooh bear is my favorite Disney character.
Thank you for sharing such a magical day with us!!! It was such a pleasure to meet you both!🐷🍯💛
Wish I could go there…😭 Pooh was my childhood ❤️
I'd absolutely love to watch this the puppets look so great!!!
What a fantastic magical day
This was the most enjoyable MJT trips ever!! I love all your theatre excursions but seeing all the Winnie the Pooh characters, the Ashdown forest, Pooh sticks bridge etc. was simply delightful! I teared up when all the characters appeared, especially Tigger and Eeyore! OMG 😍! I then fell down the "Google" rabbit hole to learn all about AA Milne and the real Christopher Robin. (That turned out to be pretty sad). But it also made the forest and everything there more real. Now I want to visit! BTW, while you are in NYC you can see Christophers original Tigger, Eeyore, Winnie and Kanga (Roo was lost when Christopher was 9 years old) at the NYC public library. Childrens section inside the 42nd street entrance. About two blocks from TIME SQUARE! 🙂
When you go to New York you should check out the free museum that's in the New York Public Library (Bryant Park) - it contains the original Winnie the Pooh doll :)
Ah this looks like the most wholesome and magical day, I can’t wait to see the show in June 🙌🏼
It was the best! Hope you enjoy the show!
That was so adorable!
I LOVE this!!! I would have cried, too.
I have a Winnie the Pooh like yours. My mum and dad got one for my nephew when he was about 3, I really wanted one but my mum suggested that being in my 30s I was a little old to get one, but my gran got one for me.
One is *NEVER* too old for a Winnie the Pooh
This all looks like so much fun!
Pooh😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
This was so WHOLESOME!
I'm taking my son to see the US tour of this for his first show!
Have fun! I saw it in Los Angeles in December and it was fantastic!! Perfect show for both kids and adults!!
I love this video!
Best day ever
I'm imagining your potential future child coming home from a friends house saying "so and so's daddy said his best day ever was when I came into his life! When was yours?" and you in a slight state of panic awkwardly going "uh, yeah, I can understand that, very good point there. Do you want to watch Winnie the Pooh?" 😂
Any idea if the disneystore will be releasing the merch from the show?
Thank you for showing us your rectangles.❤
Pooh may be a bear of very little brain but he has a big heart ❤️
Did not expect to see the lead of all my secondary school productions to appear in one of your videos, especially not as a principle cast member of a new musical - very very cool
Cutest video ever
You mean Mickey Jo's Surname ISN'T "Theatre"?!?!
Any video coming up on the Parade first Broadway preview situation?
Cute 🥰
THE BEST DAY EVER!!!
New life goal is to work at the Poohseum.
Canadian 😁😁❤️❤️
Oh, no! They got your last name wrong on your name card! I hope you told them it's "Mickey Jo THEATER" 😛
Dunno who this Boucher guy is 🤷♂️😅
Have you been to pooh corner before? My favourite character is tigger not pooh tbh.
Hi Newcastle uk as said I saw winner in Newcastle uk and me and my son loved it were s. The winner the Pooh cafe love to go with my son next year please some one let me know hugs from Pooh fans ❤❤
Although I'm always I'm amazed at puppetry, that musical looks like it's too targeted at kids and toddlers, as if it was yo gaba gaba the musical (no such thing).
Disney's Broadway musicals have always been aimed at families and adults by creating amazing costumes. The Lion King outfits, for example, used mostly human costumes to represent characters, except Zazu who was a puppet. However, it seemed very mature building costumes that night be worn by Africans or native peoples of South America or the Aborigines. For example, the big lion heads represent the characters but also look like a ceremonial head piece. Even in The Little Mermaid musical, it seemed refined by building the Ursula costume onto the actor using hair, makeup, and a regular dress, instead of making fluffy little tentacles that might come off as too campy. And on the original Broadway version, they were on skates, but only on Broadway-- no road tours did this. And the Beast's head for the original Broadway version just made a wig and some horns, instead of making something that looked goofy like a big blow up head that looks like the animated character, suchlike Beauty and The Beast on ice. And Frozen has had incredible staging and A+++ costumes without any campiness. Yes, Sven's costune was a puppet but peformers were in the puppet to mske it come to life. But the actors playing Sven that made him come to life kind of reminded me if how Chinese lion dance costumes work where one person holds the head and people behind them are the body. But Sven's costume wasn't campy nor kidd-ish.
Do you get my point? All these past Broadway Disney musicals have shed away from campiness and looking too juvenile. This Winnie The Pooh musical looks like 2 steps backward. It loos like it is aimed at toddlers and even people who love musicals like me, including Starlight Express, may be scared thinking "Did I just attend the first ever professional west end/ Broadway show aimed at pre-schoolers?"
Hi how are you doing
I used to live near Ashdown Forest. The thing is that Disney ruined Winnie the Pooh and his friends 😭
Surprised you didn't get to go to A A Milne's house and memorial stone. Looks as though you have had a great day x
