How often have you, as a parent, had to watch improvised lip‑sync performances from your children? Even before they can walk, they already know Beyoncé’s signature moves or sing along phonetically to hits by the Sugababes. Why is something aimed at a teenage audience so irresistibly appealing to the very youngest?
Pops of the Top is a pop concert about extremes—and secretly also a history lesson and a tribute to the classic girl band. We follow three pop stars as they try to appear grown‑up, harmonious and cool. But how do you do that when your audience mainly consists of three‑year‑olds? What if reality does not match what you hoped or expected? And why does someone always have to go solo? About ups and downs. The best and the worst. About tops and flops. A visual, humorous and musical performance filled with potential hits, mishaps and a clear beginning, middle and end.
Pops of the Top is a virtuoso lip‑synced slapstick concert for the whole family, suitable for ages 3 and up. Non‑verbal, in the tradition of Aaipet, Pak’m and BullyBully (winner of the Silver Cricket).
