Current members of the cast include: Magnús Scheving as Sportacus, Stefán Karl Stefánsson as Robbie Rotten and Chloe Lang as Stephanie. The first 2 seasons had Julianna Rose Mauriello as Stephanie.
Lazytown was created in Reykjavík, Iceland in 2004 and is a children's television show and entertainment brand dedicated to promoting activity, eating well and having fun. Lazytown was created by Magnús Scheving, a gymnastics champion and CEO of LazyTown Entertainment, who also stars in the show. Originally performed in English, the show has been dubbed into more than a dozen languages (including Icelandic) and airs in over 150 countries around the world, including Sprout in the US and Cartoonito in EMEA.
Things are upside-down in LazyTown. Stephanie, an optimistic girl with bright pink hair, comes to live in LazyTown and meets a zany mix of townspeople, including the world’s laziest super-villain, Robbie Rotten.
Fortunately for Stephanie, LazyTown is also under the watchful eye of Sportacus, an athletic, super-active SuperHero, who runs, jumps, flips and flies to the rescue in his futuristic AirShip – he always manages to save the day and to help the kids of LazyTown foil Robbie’s latest lazy schemes.
The other kids of LazyTown are inquisitive, adventurous, playful, and like Stephanie and most other kids, just trying to figure out their own worlds. Each of them has strengths and weaknesses that all children can identify with.
The show focuses on a formerly inactive neighborhood named "LazyTown", whose residents' athleticism has been stimulated through the arrival and encouragement of a newcomer named Stephanie, who promotes exercise and health amongst her fellow citizens. Aside from Stephanie's influence, the community also has been prodded through the example set by the admirable, athletically themed local superhero, Sportacus. However, the activity of residents is frequently tempted or jeopardized through the sinister intentions of Robbie Rotten, a deceptive, lazy man residing in an underground lair, who is angered by their enthusiasm for sports and desires for peace, and constantly devises schemes to restore LazyTown to its former state.
The show is part live action, part puppetry, and part CGI animation. It was filmed and produced at 380 Studios, a purpose-built studio near Reykjavík equipped with high-end HDTV production facilities and one of the biggest green screens in the world. The production floor area is 1,800 square meters (almost 20,000 square feet). The budget for each episode was approximately ISK 70,000,000 (US$1 million), about five times the average cost for a children's television programme at the time, making it "the most expensive children’s show in the world", according to Scheving.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Look up to the skies
Watch our rocket rise
Past the clouds it flies
Prepare for the race
Then we'll take a trip
Right to outer space
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Who knows what we might see
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Out in the galaxy
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Hang on we'll be there soon
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
We'll meet the man in the moon
We'll be the first to go
And maybe say hello
To aliens that glow
On Jupiter and Mars
Prepare for the race
Then we'll take a trip
Right to outer space
(Trip right to outer space)
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Who knows what we might see
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Out in the galaxy
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Hang on we'll be there soon
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Hang on we'll be there soon
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Maybe land on the moon
Take a trip into outer space!
The song 'Galaxy' by LazyTown, sung by Stephanie, is a space-themed song that talks about going on a journey into outer space. The lyrics begin with a call to action, telling the listener to look up at the sky and watch as their rocket takes off and flies past the clouds into the stars. Stephanie talks about preparing for a race as they take a trip into outer space and they may see things that are completely unfamiliar to them. The song is filled with wonder and excitement, as they might even get to meet the man in the moon and say hello to glowing aliens on Jupiter and Mars.
The song is a fun way to encourage children to use their imagination and be excited about exploring new things. It emphasizes the idea of adventure and the limitless potential of the world around us. The song not only entertains children but brings out their curious side and encourages them to explore and learn more.
