Get ready for a wild adventure with The Wiggles, when the beloved pre-school band visits Nassau Coliseum, Friday and Saturday. The fab four from down under are back with a new musical extravaganza that showcases old favorites as well as their latest hit, “Monkey Man, from their most recent album “The Wiggles Go Bananas”. The Wiggles, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog, and all the Wiggly Dancers invite their fans to join them as they “Go Bananas Live!”
The Wiggles, who celebrated their 18th year in 2009, are an enduring part of the lives of many children, through the characters they have created: Sam (Yellow), Murray (Red, Jeff (Purple) and Anthony (Blue).
The band members are always excited to perform for their young fans, and this year are more enthusiastic than ever about their live production. And, their audience responds with equal enthusiasm.
“This is a big production for us,” said Anthony Field, one of the founding Wiggles. “We have dancers, acrobats, gymnasts, and lots of slapstick comedy. The children get very involved and it feels like a circus atmosphere.”
Then, of course, there’s the music. “We’ll be singing songs everyone knows and wants to hear, plus new songs,” Field said.
Friday, Aug. 21, 3 and 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, August 22, 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $19-$40. Seating for tickets at the $40 level are the “hot potato seats” and will include an exclusive Wiggles merchandise giveaway. Tickets available at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.
