From Storybrook Village to a town near you! Preschoolers have “the power” to experience Super WHY as never before when Super WHY Live: You’ve Got the Power!, the first-ever live show based on the top-rated PBS KIDS TV series from Out of the Blue Enterprises, flies onto stages across the country starting this summer! Produced by S2BN Entertainment (Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, Yo Gabba Gabba Live!, Rock of Ages: The Musical) and featuring music from Jack Antonoff of the hit band “fun.,” Super WHY Live
kicks off in Monroe, Louisiana, and will visit nine cities throughout
July, “setting the stage” for additional stops from coast-to-coast this
fall. Tickets will be available beginning Friday, May 4. Fans can visit www.superwhylive.com for more information and to purchase tickets and VIP “Meet & Greet” packages.
“Super WHY Live adds a whole new exhilarating dimension to Super WHY
and its power to entertain and inspire young children,” said Samantha
Freeman Alpert, Co-Creator and Executive Producer of the series and
Co-Founder of Out of the Blue Enterprises. “We’re
so excited to extend the beloved series from the screen to the stage
with this full-scale live production for families to enjoy together.”
Super WHY Live
vibrantly brings to life Super Why, Alpha Pig, Wonder Red, Princess
Presto and their puppy pal Woofster, who each take children on
larger-than-life, imagination-stimulating adventures. With
help from the audience, the characters embark on magical,
out-of-this-world journeys to explore what they’ve always wanted to be –
from a ship’s captain to a rock star and more! While
singing, dancing and interacting with the characters on stage along the
way, pint-sized fans (and parents, alike!) discover who really has the power to make dreams come true!
Showcasing cutting-edge technology, visual effects and aerial stunts, Super WHY Live is a sensory spectacular that will dazzle and delight audiences of all ages. The
new production features a team of top talent, including a Tony
Award-winning scenic designer and an Emmy and Tony Award-nominated
lighting designer, who create a mesmerizing setting for the show.
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to take fans on this high-flying ride and invite them into the world of Super WHY in a completely unique way,” said Michael Cohl, CEO, S2BN Entertainment. “For many children, Super WHY Live
will be one of their earliest live entertainment experiences and we’ve
created a truly unforgettable show for the entire family.”
