The Play School stage show, Humpty's Showtime, appeared at the Leeton Soldiers Club Tuesday morning, with popular presenters Alex Papps and Abi Tucker entertaining the young crowd.
Hundreds of children, who danced and sang along, and their parents, grandparents and carers turned out for the two shows.
Each show featured Humpty and all of his favourite friends � Jemima, Big Ted, Little Ted and Meeka.
Concert organiser Elizabeth Mudford was thrilled the show had returned to Leeton after performances were last held in the town in 2010.
"There was a great response from the community," she said.
"The 10am show was sold out, with over 400 children and their carers at the 11.30am show.
"Nearly half of those attending were with a school or childcare group."
A percentage of proceeds from the shows was donated to the Leeton Public School P&C.
Some of the television program's most popular songs were performed in both concerts, including Wheels on the Bus, Teddy Bear Turnaround, If You're Happy and You Know It and the original Play School theme song.
"It's been just over two years since Play School last came to Leeton and after the success of their first visit we were again included on their tour calendar," Mrs Mudford said.
"Following Tuesday's concerts, Kids Promotions have indicated that we can expect to host a concert biennially.
"This will provide a regular fund-raising opportunity, but more importantly gives successive groups of children access to Play School."
