CBN.com Nashville, TN – VeggieTales fans should get ready to sing, dance and laugh! The VeggieTales gang is hitting the road to perform their silly songs for audiences nationwide during their 31-city, major market VeggieTales Rockin’ Tour LIVE! Fans can experience the silliness at top venues across the country.

Combining all of the well-known VeggieTales Songs, some new Veggie friends, timeless values and plenty of that wacky humor VeggieTales fans enjoy so much is what makes this the perfect show for kids of all ages. Taking the show out on the road like a true concert tour, audiences can expect to see some of their all-time favorite VeggieTales characters come to life right before their very eyes, as well as experience a few really fun surprises!

“The high-participation performance truly rocks the stage with interactive video screens, a lighting show and surprises that will get everyone excited and in the mood for Bob, Larry and friends,” says Terry Pefanis, Big Idea president and COO. “If you think VeggieTales characters are funny on video, wait ‘til you see then up close and personal.”

Steve Moore, Moore Entertainment Group, adds, “We are thrilled to represent the VeggieTales characters in this exciting NEW LIVE show. It is the perfect entertainment event for young children, with uplifting themes and engaging visuals. For some children, it will be their first ‘live’ show experience. And the characters, the songs, the entire production will make for a very memorable time for these children and their parents.”

Show Synopsis
Bob the Tomato is the stage manager for the tour while the sorely inexperienced Larry the Cucumber takes on the role of road manager. Even though Bob has meticulously prepared the song selection, the rest of the VeggieTales gang just wants to sneak in a few of their own favorites. Crowds should warm-up their vocal chords and prepare to join the Veggie gang in singing classic silly songs, such as “Belly Button Song,” “Larry Boy,” “HIS Cheeseburger,” “Water Buffalo Song” and the famous VeggieTales theme song!

The VeggieTales characters will also be joined by new friends Merché, the opening musical act, and Jessie, who performs and helps host the show while teaching Bob and Larry some valuable lessons on getting along.
