V-me's LazyTown will come to a town near you next year.
The Spanish-language network, in conjunction with the show's creador LazyTown Entertainment, Tycoon Entertainment Group and Global Entertainment Group, will mount a "LazyTown Live! Tour" in the U.S. in 2010.
LazyTown Live!, the first-ever live family entertainment show to tour the US exclusively in Spanish, is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2010 and will visit markets across the country, supported by the V-me national broadcast network and local affiliates.
The U.S. tour follows sold-out performancs in Mexico, Latin America, the U.K. and Australia.
Lazy Town Live! features special effects, colorful wardrobe and set changes, music and dance, and opportunities to interact with characters -- all designed to motivate healthy, active lifestyle choices for the whole family. Moreover, after each performance, families have a chance to meet Sportacus, Stephanie and the entire Lazy Town team.
"LazyTown's mission is to inspire kids and families to make healthier lifestyle choices. To bring this incredibly successful and important live show to families in the US, LazyTown needed a strong national Hispanic media partner and world-class integrated theatrical tour producers," said Magnus Scheving, founder LazyTown Entertainment, in a statement."That's what we have with V-me, Tycoon Entertainment and Global Entertainment Group , who all share the mission and values of LazyTown."
V-me airs LazyTown weekdays at 7:30 a.m. (ET) and 11:30 a.m., Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m..
