Notable characters & songs

Kikky (Marie-Christine Naim) is the show's lead since its beginning. She is often compared to Chantal Goya, or Dorothee.[citation needed] She is accompanied by many characters including Glagla Le Clown, Woonie Le Marin, Sucette, Papouf, Mamouf, Patitoupata, Fanfan L'Elephant, and the show's original witch Ambrosia plus her crow Cornefer. All character names and songs were conceived and composed by Ghazy Feghaly.[citation needed] He drew inspiration from his niece's Youmna Chamcham imaginary friends. They wrote many of the songs while playing together at home. Monsieur Le Livre, once Youmna's lullaby, is now a song taught in nurseries and schools.[citation needed] Mini Studio was the first show to ever record the Alphabet song in Arabic in 1996. Once per year the show releases a new album and a Holiday special for Christmas & Easter.

Musical theater

Once per year, Mini Studio produced one original Musical Theater bridging their TV characters and storylines to make fantasy worlds come to life onstage. They attracted audiences of 60,000 a year.[citation needed] Ghazy Feghaly wrote and directed a total of 22 original plays. Most of the content was originally in French. English and Arabic began to be introduced in 2000, when the show started being broadcast through satellite TV and the internet.
