The WigglesEver since my daughter was old enough to begin watching children's television, she's loved The Wiggles...and she's definitely not alone.  The Wiggles are the world's #1 preschool entertainers and have performed over 350 shows to more than 1.5 million fans since 2005 in the United States alone.  They are seen on TV in over 120 countries worldwide.

Beginning July 7, 2012, fans can also watch The Wiggles on NBC’s new Saturday morning preschool block, NBC Kids. The Wiggles have sold more than 23 million DVDs and videos, 7 million CDs and 8 million books in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

A few years ago, we attended our first Wiggly concert together and loved every minute of it.  That's why I was psyched to hear that The Wiggles would be stopping through Houston, Texas again for their farewell tour.  This is the last opportunity to see all four original Wiggles in concert.  Keep reading to learn more!

Prices range from $18.50 - $78.50 (additional facility fees, service charges and $.50 donation to Reach Out and Read may apply).

Tickets for Houston are on sale now and are available through all Ticketmaster locations.

The Wiggles in ConcertThe Wiggles, the world’s most famous children's entertainment group, have just announced that 2012 will be the final year of their original lineup. After 21 years of entertaining and educating children around the globe, Red Wiggle Murray Cook, Yellow Wiggle Greg Page and Purple Wiggle Jeff Fatt have decided to hang up their trademark colored jerseys.

This year’s summer tour will be the last opporunity for families in Houston, TX to see the Original Fab Four from Down Under perform together. Come Celebrate with Anthony, Greg, Murray, and Jeff at Bayou Music Center (formerly Verizon Wireless Theater) on Sunday, July 29th for two shows at 11:30 AM and 3:00 PM!

The Celebration Tour, which will correspond with the release of their new DVD and CD, "The Wiggles Big Birthday," will honor over two decades of Wiggly singing, dancing, and performances for children and their parents.

Beginning in 2013, The Wiggles will launch a new lineup that will usher in an exciting new era for future generations of children to continue to delight in the Wiggles unique brand of music, fun and learning. The group’s founder, Blue Wiggle Anthony Field, will be joined on stage by Lachlan Gillespie, Simon Pryce, and the first-ever female Wiggle, Emma Watkins, who have been handpicked by the group to become the Purple, Red and Yellow Wiggles.

The Wiggles in ConcertThe Wiggles are proud to announce that the U.S. school readiness initiative Reach Out and Read will be the official charity partner of their 2012 Tour.   Reach Out and Read prepares America’s youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to "prescribe" books and encourage families to read together.

Together, Reach Out and Read and The Wiggles will work to raise awareness about the importance of reading aloud to young children to ensure future success in school and in life.

Reach Out and Read doctors and nurses serve more than 4 million children and their families annually at 4,946 pediatric practices, hospitals, clinics and health centers in all 50 states.  In Texas, 270 hospitals and clinics participate in Reach Out and Read, serving 288,704 children annually.

Parents who participate in the evidence-based program read to their children more often, and their children enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies and a six-month developmental edge. A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales will be used to support Reach Out and Read programs across the United States.

Disclosure: I received three tickets to The Wiggles Concert in Houston in order to facilitate my review. No other compensation was received. This product review is based on my own personal experiences with this item and is completely honest and objective.
I'm a former 7th grade Science teacher turned stay-at-home mom that lives in Houston, Texas. I am married to my college sweetheart and have a beautiful daughter named Riley, who definitely keeps me on my toes! I am also involved in starting a small business which would both manufacture and sell an invention that I've patented, called Toothpaste 2 Go. I love interacting with my readers and hope to learn as much about you as you learn about me!
