Imagination Movers tour moves into Boston MA April 23rd Family 4 pack ticket giveaway

Disney’s Emmy Award-winning Imagination Movers are in the middle of their “In a Big Warehouse” concert tour which started February 4, 2011 in their home state of Louisiana. The wildly popular New Orleans-based rock band for kids of all ages will and has traveled coast to coast playing their most popular songs and bringing the magic of the Imagination Movers television series’ Idea Warehouse to life performing in a series of 100 shows across the nation. Concertgoers can expect special appearances from Nina, Warehouse Mouse and other characters from the TV series.

“Nothing beats the excitement of playing live rock n roll with the help of thousands of great fans,” says Rich Collins (aka Mover Rich). “We encourage our audience to be an essential part of the show by singing, clapping, shouting, dancing and generally letting the energy of a real rock concert lift their spirits. Everybody needs a nap after one of our gigs. Including the grownups – and especially us!”

Since signing to Walt Disney Records, the Imagination Movers have sold more than 100,000 albums, received multiple awards and earned critical praise from the Associated Press, Entertainment Weekly and many other media outlets. Their newest release, In a Big Warehouse, the soundtrack for the second season of the television series, hit the charts this fall, debuting at #2 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums chart and bowing at #3 on Billboard’s Children’s Chart.

The tour has been a big hit with fans and if you cant make it to the live show they’ve event got a special TV version thats currently airing on Disney Junior.  This special episode is also available on iTunes, I found that out by shopping for the new episodes from 2011 that are also on sale now.

April 23rd the show rolls in to Boston’s Orpheum Theater with an 11:30am and a 2:30pm show.  They also have some special guests opening the show this stop is Choo Choo Soul. I’m sure kids of all ages will love the show and I for one cant wait to see them in NYC.

The Broadway company of “Driving Miss Daisy” has announced that their Special Benefit Performance for The Actors Fund

The Broadway company of “Driving Miss Daisy” has announced that their Special Benefit Performance for The Actors Fund

It was just announced that this special Actors Fund performance will also be dedicated to Vanessa Redgrave’s siblings Lynn and Corin Redgrave who died last year.  This is definitely going to be a heartfelt remembrance with emotions running high for Vanessa, the cast and the audience.

“With extraordinary careers spanning decades in film, television and theater, the Redgrave family has left an indelible mark on the entertainment landscape. Both Lynn and Corin were staunch and gracious supporters of The Actors Fund as well as advocates for everyone dedicated to performing arts and entertainment,” said Jed Bernstein, the show’s producer and Actors Fund Trustee.

“We are honored the company of ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ will join us in expressing our heartfelt appreciation for their steadfast and unwavering support of The Actors Fund,” he added.

Lynn Redgrave served on the Board of Trustees of The Actors Fund since 1992 and as a Vice Chair since 2006. She regularly served as team captain of The Actors Fund’s EIF Revlon Run/Walk team to raise awareness about women’s cancers, and was instrumental in developing “In the Spotlight,” The Actor Fund’s major gifts program. Her brother Corin regularly donated his time and talents performing to raise funds for the entertainment charity.

The benefit performance is scheduled for Monday, February 7 at 8pm. All proceeds will go to The Actors Fund. Benefits from this show will go to support The Actors Fund and its longstanding commitment to help performers and those behind-the-scenes across the nation.

“Driving Miss Daisy” stars James Earl Jones, Vanessa Redgrave and Boyd Gaines. The performance will be at the Golden Theatre, 252 West 45th Street in New York City. Premium seating is available for $226.50 and regular seats from $66.50 to $126.50.

To purchase tickets, visit https://www.store.actorsfund.org, call 212.221.7300 ext. 133, or email [email protected]. Tickets can also be purchased at www.telecharge.com or through the Golden Theatre box office.

Disney on Ice Princess Wishes review and giveaway

Disney on Ice Princess Wishes review and giveaway

I was able to see the new Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes at Madison Square Garden. When I think ice shows I think horrible costumes with sequins, bad music and ice skating moves that I can do. Well I couldnt do most of these moves the sequins where limited to the princesses and the music was the fabulous selections from the Disney movies each princess came from.

The show was awesome! I highly recommend it for any Disney fan or anyone thats into ice skating or princesses (cause there is plenty of both!).

I loved the snow white and the aladdin story lines maybe because they really struck a nerve with me as those were two of my Disney favorites growing up.  The show also focused on Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Ariel from little mermaid, mulan and Tinkerbell. Of course Mickey and Minnie made a popup here and there.

My child’s face was priceless at a few of the songs and he loved the tricks, the lifts, and some of the special effects. Yes, he even grooved around a bit to the Genie song from Aladdin.  They use the real voices from the movies which will really help the kids get into the story lines and hold their focus.

The show is broken up into two 45 minute segments with a 20 minute intermission.  Of course they have the lights, cotton candy, snow cones, popcorn, and ect for sale… but its all worth it for those few pieces of memories you’re creating with your child.

Next stop for the show is in New Jersey at the Izod center and I’ve got a four pack of tickets to giveaway.

IZOD Center in East Rutherford – Fri., Jan. 28 @ 7:30 pm and Sat., Jan. 29 @ 10:30 am
