Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coming Out of Their Shells Tour

Some of these reviews are taking this show too seriously. As far as media made purely for children goes, this is actually pretty fun. The music is pure 90s cheese, the actors seem to enjoy hamming it up for those excited kids in the audience, and the story, while not Shakespearean, works well when judged by Saturday morning cartoon standards. At least there's some joy here, rather than the tired, cynical laziness of the third TMNT live-action movie.

For those who don't like this video, I whole heartedly disagree. I too was a little kid when the tour came out and I saw it live. It was the coolest thing I ever saw! Of course the costumes are different, have you checked out the choreography they have to do? They have to be able to move! And yeah the fight scenes are kinda cheesy but think about it, it's a live performance for little kids, plus I don't think their costumes could handle that much abuse. The plot I thought was great, the kids get so into it when they know the turtles will be there to save the day. And I love how the personalities are so polished in each of the turtles, they are so "cool" kids can relate and love it! I still watch it and still sing along, the voice quality of the songs and the music in general is awesome. I especially love April's Ballad. Songs like that aren't easy to belt. I actually used that song for an audition once. And at 22, I still get goosebumps when I hear "You Can Count On Us." It's OK if you hate this show in comparison to other turtle material, but appreciate the work that was put into it, how many kids it touched, and how many people still watch and love the tape after all these years.

OK, yes, this show wasn't exactly 'high quality theatre', but it was made for children who aren't very picky about their live entertainment. So long as it's 'cool' then you're good. However, I have to say that I enjoyed the music that was incorporated into the production. Some of it is a bit trite and cheesy but it's fun! Some of the costumes are a scream to laugh at and the overall concert turned into one big TMNT episode. Who doesn't love that? Overall, the voices and the quality of entertainment put forth in this production was wonderful. They put a lot of energy and excitement in getting this done and I believe they succeeded in making this the best it could be.

This is the sweetest corny movie of all time. Of course it wasn't going to be perfect. Also the VHS is the first show of the event in New York City. I saw this in Orlando and own the video. I don't remember much from Orlando except swinging my nunchuk or however you spell it around. The songs are pretty awesome you have got to admit. I still watch this VHS 14 years later.. best memories. If you never saw this movie the first time you will think it is corny, so just don't bother. But if you are a fan and remember the tour, pick it up because it will bring back a lot of good memories. Yes there are a lot of sloppy parts in the show, such as the costume being different in the cut shots, and the lip synching, the corny reporter in the boiler room, the whatever machine which is made of foil, and the fighting, but overall a good nostalgic treasure

This show pushes a pro music agenda which is appreciated in this day and age as it shows the importance of music. So surprised that cam clarke came back to record leo for this show. The music rocks except for michelangelo's "follow your heart" song.

The set design? Top notch. The costumes? They're hit or miss......the biggest miss being the turtles and some of the hits being April, Splinter, and the Shredder.

The musical numbers are quite swell and so surprised that this iconic album is streaming on Apple Music and Spotify.

The story is pretty strong, but what can I say? It's a live touring show. It has a so bad it's good vibe to it that I highly recommend it.
