'Baby Shark Live!' Is Hitting The Road Again In 2020 & You Can Snag Tickets On Friday
If you're not incredibly tired of the earworm that won't stop burrowing into your brain that is "Baby Shark," I have some excellent news for you. You can enjoy the bop created by Pinkfong along with thousands of other exhausted parents because Baby Shark Live! tour dates for 2020 have arrived and you may want to make a note on your calendar.
In case you haven't already heard, a new Baby Shark Live! show started touring the United States and Canada back in September. The first show — which parents might be excited to know includes songs other than "Baby Shark" — got underway in Spartanburg, South Carolina and ran for a total of six weeks across the county. All of the shows sold out, with more than 100,000 people signing up for a dose of Baby Shark Live!.
It turns out the show was so popular that a second leg has been announced for 2020, beginning on March 1 in Independence, Missouri. The 90-minute long show, which will feature the title song as well as other familiar nursery rhymes like "Wheels On The Bus," is set to hit more than 70 cities throughout the United States.

Tour promoter Stephen Shaw told the Associated Press that this show is a great experience for the entire family, even if it tends to appeal to the younger set. "Our target demographic is 2 years old all the way up to 6 years old," Shaw said. "That’s sort of the main sweet spot. But it’s family. It’s a family show. It’s parents with their kids. It’s grandparents with their grandchildren. It’s a show for the whole family."
Tickets for the spring leg of the Baby Shark Live! tour go on sale on Nov. 22, and fans can check out the Baby Shark Live! website for ticket information and even possible meet and greet packages. Prices for tickets from the fall leg of the tour ranged from $30 to $65, with backstage meet and greets selling for around $50 per person, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Not surprisingly, there will also be "Baby Shark" merchandise for sale at the live shows, which should make the interactive experience even more of a draw for kids and the caregivers who love them.
