NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- After a "heroic"
record-breaking weekend at the Theater at Madison Square Garden,
PJ Masks Live will leap, climb and soar into the
second half of its first North American tour this month. The
dynamic, fully-immersive production based on Entertainment One's
(eOne) top-rated animated series, airing daily on Disney Junior,
played six show-stopping performances at MSG that attracted famous
NY-based athletes and performers from stage and screen, including
Tonight Show host and SNL alum Jimmy Fallon, who treated his kids to a private
meet-and-greet with Catboy, Gekko and Owlette following the
show.
"There is an amazing amount of energy and enthusiasm around this
tour and the PJ Masks brand as a whole," said Stephen Shaw, CEO of Round Room Presents and
Lead Producer for the live tour. "Playing six jam-packed shows to
smiling and dancing kids and their families at The Garden is a
dream come true and we look forward to extending the fun to fans in
more North American cities this year, including upcoming sold-out
shows in Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Houston, Ft. Lauderdale, and San Antonio. We're also excited about giving
audiences throughout the UK and Australia the chance to see their favorite
characters come to life on stage for the first time beginning next
year."
In addition to engaging kids and families, PJ Masks Live has
been collecting pajamas at each tour venue for Pajama
Program, a national nonprofit that supports every child's right
to "a good night for a good day" by providing new pajamas and books
for at-risk children. The tour plans to collect more than 2,000
sets of pajamas and continues to gather more donations at every
U.S. stop.
"Pajama Program believes that every child has the right to a
good night and that includes owning a pair of comforting, warm
pajamas. Pajamas are a powerful good night tool important for
establishing a bedtime routine for children so that they can
experience a peaceful night's sleep, which in turn can lead to a
better day," said Jamie Dyce, Pajama
Program's Executive Director. "We are incredibly grateful for the
support of real-life heroes like the PJ Masks Live team and fans of
the show who help us fulfill this important mission."
Based on eOne's hit animated series, PJ Masks Live has been
delighting fans of all ages with world-class production, familiar
and original music, acrobatics, and interactivity featuring the
series' heroes, Catboy, Owlette, Gekko, along with its Baddies.
The hit series PJ Masks follows the thrilling nighttime
adventures of three young friends who transform into their dynamic
alter egos, Catboy, Owlette and Gekko, when they put on their
pajamas at night and activate their animal amulets. Together, they
embark on action-packed capers, solving mysteries and learning
valuable lessons along the way.
