The theme for this year’s Late Late Toy Show has been revealed

It’s the moment we’ve been waiting for.

The theme of this year’s Late Late Toy Show has been revealed, ahead of the most magical and highly anticipated night of Irish television.

 “Having The Greatest Showman as our theme this year is helping to emphasise the essence of what I believe the Toy Show should be – inclusive.

“This year we are celebrating the kid who doesn’t get Snapchatted, or who doesn’t always have someone to sit beside on the bus.

“These kids aren’t lonely or unhappy, they just find joy in their own way. This year’s show will be wrapped up in kindness and warmth and humour, so, as the song goes, see you on The Other Side!”

Late Late Toy Show producer Eimear O’Mahony said:

 “Look out ’cause here we come!We can hardly contain our excitement for this year’s Late Late Toy Show. 

“We’ve been working hard over the past number of months in the hope of bringing the magic of Barnum’s Circus to our viewers, and have created a dazzling set and a show-stopping line-up filled with magic.”

As with every Late Late Toy Show, a number of charities have nominated children to experience the magic of the set for themselves in advance of tonight’s show.

This year children from LauraLynn Children’s Hospice, The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, National Children’s Hospital at Tallaght University Hospital, Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, and Barnados will get a sneak preview of the set and get to play with the toys.

Their visit will be captured onscreen and will be aired during the show, with all toys featured on the show will be donated to charity following the broadcast.

The Late Late Toy Show airs tonight, Friday, November 30, at 9.35pm on RTÉ One, and will be available to watch worldwide for free on RTÉ Player.
