Tonight Is Late Late Toy Show Night - And This Year's Theme Is 'Frozen'

It's Late Late Toy Show night tonight, and it has been revealed that this year's theme is Disney's Frozen.

As well as the usual performances, toy testers and surprise guests, there will be a special tribute to the late Gay Byrne.

In a first for the show, the show will also be signed live for the deaf community.

Ahead of his 11th year hosting the show, Ryan Tubridy is teasing how he'll appear when the cameras go live in Donnybrook.

The opening number for tonight's show is said to be his "most outrageous to date".

Ryan said: "They had the choice between making me a handsome, debonair prince... or a squat goofy snowman. Tune in!

“It involves a very toothy grin... even my own weren't sufficient for the occasion!”

Ryan said an emphasis this year - inspired by the chosen Frozen theme - will be on families of all sorts coming together and gathering to watch the show.

As ever, it will be a big night for the young singers, dancers and entertainers who've been chosen to appear on the show.

Eamonn Coffey from Tipperary is among those performing.

Recalling what it was like to get the call, he said: "When we heard it, we were jumping up and down - we went wild.

"It was always a dream come true for us to be on the Toy Show."

For the first time ever tonight, the show will be signed live for the deaf community.

Amanda Coogan, one of the sign language interpreters, explained: "Deaf families - be they deaf children, or if mommy or daddy are deaf and the children are hearing... they can all watch the Toy Show for the very first time together."

Have your PJs ready and snacks nearby: the show kicks off at 9:35pm.
