Win Tickets to See the Wiggles Big Birthday! Tour at Oakland's Paramount Theatre
I think most parents of preschoolers and toddlers agree that the Wiggles are the superstars of the kids' music scene. This Australian foursome is heading to Oakland's Paramount Theatre for their 2011 Big Birthday! Tour on Friday, August 12. Come join the Wiggles, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, and the Wiggly Dancers as they celebrate the group's 20th birthday live on stage.
There will be two shows, at 2:30 and 6:30 pm, and we're giving away a four tickets for you and your family to go see the 6:30 pm performance! Read on for details on how to enter.
Every Wiggles show is fun and educational, and features plenty of audience interaction. Make a birthday card or a sign at home and bring it to the show and dress up as your favorite character. You can even greet your favorite Wiggles character as they sing and dance through the audience. And don't forget to yell "Wake up, Jeff!" when Jeff the Purple Wiggle invariably falls asleep on stage. Sing along with favorite songs like Hot Potato, Play Your Ukulele, Fruit Salad, and Rock a Bye Your Bear and wiggle away in the aisles!
While you're at the show, you can help Wags the Dog help local animals. Tony LaRussa's Animal Rescue Foundation and the East Bay SPCA will be on hand to accept donations of dog food and new or gently-used pet bedding or blankets. Don't forget to bring a bone for Wags, too.
