Feb 12, 2010

Popular children’s entertainers The Wiggles are starring in their first concert movie for preschoolers. Beginning on March 20, CinemaLive will present The Wiggles—Big Big Show in The Round, a circus-inspired concert filmed at The Acer Arena in the group’s hometown of Sydney, Australia, on Dec. 20, 2009.

“I think this show is our happiest, most musical and thrilling show ever,” says director Anthony Field, who also plays the Blue Wiggle. The concert features acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, trapeze artists and a ringmaster, along with all the Wiggles characters.

The Wiggles perform over 200 shows annually across four continents, and are on TV in over 110 countries worldwide. Now in their 19th year, The Wiggles have sold more than 22.5 million videos and seven million CDs in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
