There’s nothing new under the sun, so it’s said. But wait, there really is something new! The world’s most popular children’s entertainment group, The Wiggles, are heading out on the road to introduce their new team. After 21 years of entertaining children around the globe, it’s the beginning of an exciting new era for The Wiggles as they head out on their ‘Taking Off’ tour.
All of your Wiggly friends, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus, will be along as well to dance and sing along to Hot Potato, Rock-a-Bye Your Bear and all your favourite Wiggles hits.
Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field, who started The Wiggles over 21 years ago selected the new team to join Dorothy and our friends from Wiggles cast he had worked with over many years. There’s red Wiggle Simon Pryce; our first female Wiggle, Emma, the yellow Wiggle; and a Brisbane boy, Lachlan, the purple Wiggle! 2013 is a new chapter in The Wiggles' amazing story.
Anthony enthused, “It’s such a great way to start the year. There’s so much energy with these young guys. We introduced Simon, Emma and Lachy on the Celebration tour around the world and audiences loved them and I’m so excited to be heading out on the road across Australia so that all our Wiggly fans can meet the new team”
Our ‘Taking Off’ tour audiences will also be some of the first to hear some new Wiggles material from the first CD and DVD to be released in early 2013 also titled Taking Off! Our tour starts in Albury on Sat March 2 and will continue around the country until June. Don’t miss out!
