The Wiggles “Apples and Bananas” Tour launches 2014 at a cracking pace! Anthony. Emma, Lachy and Simon start their tour in Sydney and then travel from March until June entertaining children around most of Australia. By the end of this year, The Wiggles will have toured to every state and Territory in our wide brown land! After launching their latest TV series “Ready, Steady, Wiggle! to most of the world as well as four CD and DVD titles, The Wiggles spent most of the last year touring. Red Wiggle and former “Phantom of the Opera” musical theatre star Simon, breathlessly enthused. “I thought I’d toured before, but being in The Wiggles has meant I’ve performed in places I’d only seen on a map before, its been so much fun!”
The Wiggles fame is founded on their all singing and dancing live concerts and the “Apples and Bananas” tour promises to be one of the best! “We’ve played around a lot of the world over the last year” said Blue Wiggle and founder Anthony. “Australia, New Zealand, Canada, right across the USA and even to the sands of Dubai. At one stage, we had spent more time on our tour bus than in our homes! But it was so worth it, the reception has just been amazing.” Purple Wiggle Lachy enthuses. “From getting to perform at a Mets baseball game in New York to the hundreds of performances in radio stations where all we had was an acoustic guitar and our voices, it’s been a blast!” The first female Wiggle Emma feels like her feet have not yet touched the ground with TIME and PEOPLE magazine in the USA trumpeting her inclusion. “I grew up listening to The Wiggles and so the songs are there in my brain. To be asked to be part of this group is a dream come true”. And it looks like our young audience has taken notice with the appearance of what journalists have called “The Mini-Emma Army’, girls dressing like Emma with their bows in their hair and even on their shoes. “They are the most adorable “army” I’ve ever seen, they’re quite “bow-tiful” laughed Emma.
The Apples and Bananas tour will feature songs from their new Apples and Bananas CD and DVD which is a new collection of nursery Rhymes such as “This Old Man” and “The Wheels on the Bus” given The Wiggles magical music touch. Wiggles songs are a part of every Aussie child’s as their most recent CD and DVD number one success on the I-tunes chart show (for Hot Potatoes, The Best of The Wiggles), the latest Wiggles hits such as “Do the Propellor” and “Simon Says” are just as popular as anything over their 23 year history. The “Apples and Bananas'” tour will feature these new hits as well as Wiggle classics such as “Hot Potato” and “Rock a Bye Your Bear”. The Fab Four of fun will of course be joined by Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus!
2014 will see The Wiggles filming a new series of Ready, Steady, Wiggle and preparing for a new Wiggles feature film! Blue Wiggle Anthony added, “It’s a new generation of Wiggle fans” and we can’t wait for them to see this new show. Don’t miss your chance to see the most successful children’s group of all time.
