Stevie Nicholson’s Superdudes book is now a stage show and there are a few Hi-5 friends who have helped bring it to life.

Allyce Martins, who plays Flutterby, was once the voice of Chats; while Simon McLachlan, who plays Bubble Trouble, previously voiced Jup Jup.

Behind the scenes, Tim Maddren directed the show and Hi-5 composer, Chris Harriott, composed the music for it.

The Superdudes: Pencil Pirate (Nick Rudich, Superdudes illustrator), Flutterby (Allyce Martins, previously voiced Chats), Super Stevie and Bubble Trouble (Simon McLachlan, previously voiced Jup Jup).

Quite a few original and past members have been getting together lately. It’s great to see that regardless of where they are in the world or how long they’ve been apart, they’re all still part of one big Hi-5 family. Here are just some of the catch-ups we’ve seen:

Tim Harding and Nathan Foley near Sydney over Christmas.

Kathleen De Leon Jones, Tim Harding and their families in NSW in January.

Casey Burgess and Fely Irvine in Hollywood at the start of the year.

Fely Irvine and Kathleen De Leon Jones with Fely’s fiance, Tai Hara, and Kathleen’s daughters in Las Vegas this month.

The Newest Line-up of Hi-5ers

In February this year, Ainsley Melham announced his departure from Hi-5 after three fun-filled years with the group. Ainsley’s replacement is Gabe Brown.

“Just wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone for an incredible 3 years with Hi-5! To all the Little 5ers out there, you are the best friends we could wish for! Your support, generosity and love is overwhelming! You have turned my world upside down in the best way, and I will always look back on this time with a big smile on my face! Please welcome my friend Gabe into the group with the same enthusiasm as you did me. Hi-5 is a beautiful thing and I can't wait to see what next is in store for the new team. Signing out one last time... Hi-5″
