The Wiggles Bring Their "Wiggly Circus Live!" Tour to Austin on August 7th

The group of four Australian guys who went from playing birthday parties to international stardom are coming to Austin for two shows on August 7th. The Wiggles bring their "Wiggly Circus Live!" tour to the Paramount Theatre for shows at 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.

The Down Under sensations return with this year's most anticipated family touring event. The smell of "Hot Poppin' Popcorn" will stir the excitement of "A Big Big Show" for their preschool fans in Central Texas.

The "Wiggly Circus Live!" tour includes favorite characters from their television show and DVDs - including Dorothy the Dinosaur, The Captain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog and all the Wiggly Dancers.

According to LiveDaily.com, The quartet - Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt and Sam Moran - are playing much larger venues as they keep up with an annual tour schedule of 200 shows spread across four continents. Since 2005, the group has performed more than 300 shows in the U.S. alone, playing to more than 1.5 million American fans.

Tickets range from $17 to $44. A special VIP package is also available, which includes the best seats in the house, an exclusive Wiggles gift, and a chance to dance along with The Wiggles themselves on the Paramount stage.

The Wiggles policy states that any child that has reached their first birthday requires a ticket. Children under 12 months do not need a ticket, if they sit in an adult's lap.

Doors will open one hour before show time. For more information and reservations, call (866) 9PROTIX or visit www.AustinTheatre.org.
