Trivia

• This tour notably marks the touring debut of Mary Lascaris and Ainsley Melham, who joins Stevie Nicholson, Lauren Brant and Dayen Zheng as the 3rd generation members of Hi-5.
  • Furthermore, it is also the last concert tour of Hi-5 in Singapore and the Philippines (and the only one in Hong Kong and Indonesia) to feature Lauren.
• This tour also marks the first tour to feature Tanika Anderson, where she participates in this tour as both an understudy and puppeteer for Chats.
  • Speaking of which, in any event where she had to fill in for another presenter (e.g. Mary for some shows in the Philippines), pre-recorded tracks of her as Chats would be used as opposed to live audio tracks.
• The Indonesian shows marks the following:
  • The first shows (specifically in Surabaya) since Live Action Heroes to use a majority of digital projections alongside some of the projection scrims used in the original production.
  • The only time in this tour to have a Jup Jup puppeteer, with a live voice (Mary Lascaris). This is also the only time where Mary portrays the character as well.
• Despite having a new puppet design, Jup Jup’s former design from Series 13 is used in this tour instead.
• During the December 29th show, the group sang "Happy Birthday" to Stevie after "Come On In!".
