LAS VEGAS, Feb. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Nickelodeon, The Pinkfong Company, and VStar Entertainment Group proudly debuted Baby Shark’s Big Broadwave Tour! on Saturday, Feb. 3 in Sioux City, IA. Audience members were captivated by the live stage show’s vibrant blend of stunning visual effects, catchy tunes, and the beloved characters from the hit animated series, Baby Shark’s Big Show!, airing on Nickelodeon. From the moment Baby Shark and his undersea friends took to the stage to save the Party Puddle Theatre, joyous laughter and smiles filled the Orpheum Theatre. The audience’s electrifying energy brought the underwater world to life and created a “wave” of memories for kids and adults alike.

The tour’s success in Sioux City is just the beginning of its “swimsational” journey across the U.S. though 2024, showcasing a colorful storyline, all-new music, and exciting twists on tunes from the Nickelodeon series. Baby’s Shark’s Big Broadwave Tour! promises to make a splash in every city it visits, leaving a trail of smiles and memories in its wake.

Baby’s Shark’s Big Broadwave Tour! marks the sixth touring collaboration for VStar Entertainment Group and Nickelodeon since their partnership began in 2016. The two entertainment organizations have brought beloved Nickelodeon characters to life on stage for millions of young audiences around the world with tours including PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure” and the newest addition to the touring franchise PAW Patrol Live! “Heroes Unite,” both currently touring across North America.

“We are thrilled to have kicked off our nationwide tour with such a ‘fintastic’ reception in Sioux City,” said Wendy Edwards, Managing Director & Executive Producer of VStar Entertainment Group. “The energy and enthusiasm from the audience were palpable, adding to the excitement of opening weekend. Seeing families come together to enjoy live theater was a heartwarming experience that truly highlighted the power of entertainment and our outstanding partnership with Nickelodeon and Pinkfong.”

“We’re so excited for Baby Shark’s Big Broadwave Tour! to make waves as it embarks on a national tour,” said Rachel Karpf, Vice President, Experiences and Live Stage, Paramount. “This fantastic and lively show is a one-of-a-kind first theater experience, with incredible design, catchy original music, a compelling story, and many of the beloved Baby Shark characters. We’ve been thrilled to see kids and families dancing in the aisles and singing along live with Baby Shark and his friends!” 

Baby Shark’s Big Broadwave Tour! follows Baby and his “fincredible” fishy friends on an undersea adventure filled with oceans of fun and “finship”! After Bentley Barracuda plans to tear down the beloved Party Puddle Theatre, Baby and his squiddo friends must dive into action and travel to the deep dark depths of the ocean, to Wavey Jones’ Locker, and through “Finterstellar Space” to create a “flowstopping,” splash-hit Broadwave “swimsation.” To save the theatre, they will need the audience to help fill the Party Puddle Applause Meter and put on the biggest Broadwave show ever, showcasing everyone can Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo it!
