[Note: This review is of the May 4th, 2004, Real Wheels Live show that took place in Fallbrook, California].<\/p>\n

If I were asked to write a one word review of Real Wheels Live<\/strong> show, the word would be sincerity<\/strong>. Dave Hood<\/strong>, the producer, director, writer and star of the Real Wheels video series is sincere and serious about the entertaining and important messages embodied in his video series. The live show is very similar to the Real Wheel videos in that it stresses the importance of \u201cdreaming big<\/strong>.\u201d and doing one\u2019s job passionately. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is clear that Dave Hood is passionate about entertaining<\/strong> and educating <\/strong>kids. And the kids were clearly entertained, as through a series of skits and interactive videos, he managed to keep the attention of a sizable crowd of the preschool set for over an hour. The kids were always on the edge of their seat, hoping they would be picked to help put out an imaginary fire or catch one of the many tee-shirts Dave threw into the audience. <\/p>\n

Even when the skits did not work, they worked. With encouragement from his great grandfather, the great Hoodini (who appeared via video), Dave Hood captivated the preschool set with magic tricks. One magic trick literally fell apart when he dropped a light bulb. It appeared as if this was part of the act, as he immediately sang a song about the importance of trying again after making a mistake; resilience<\/strong> is another important value<\/strong> he imparts in his video and stage show. <\/p>\n

The real judge of the success<\/strong> of his show was from the comments of my five year old<\/strong>. He loved the pre-show trivia that appeared on the video screen (of course, I had to read the questions to him). He, like probably the rest of his peers, longed to be in the the audience participation portions of the show. His favorite of portion of the show was when Dave made his able assistance, Sara, disappear and reappear. Clearly, if five year olds new about the tradition of raising a lighted lighter at concert curtain call, the place would have been in flames. <\/p>\n
