Best Day Ever! On the heels of last month’s premiere of its first national tour, Shopkins Live! Shop It Up! (www.shopkinslive.com) announced it will travel to The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts on Friday, March 2.  The tour will visit more than 115 North American cities through April 2018. Shopkins Live! Shop It Up! is the first theatrical production based on the phenomenally successful Shopkins toy brand. Social media is raving about #ShopkinsLive including CookieBSwirl in her video to her more than five million subscribers.

“We’re so thrilled to see all the besties in attendance with ear-to-ear smiles. They get so enthralled by the vibrant, colorful set and costumes, and soon enough the catchy songs will have BFFs singing along and dancing in their seats,” says Gilles Paquin, President and CEO of Koba Entertainment, who also serves as Executive Producer of Shopkins Live! Shop It Up!. “

Based on America’s #1 toy brand, Youtube sensation and international toy phenomenon created in Australia by Moose Toys, Shopkins Live! Shop It Up! immerses audiences in the world of Shopville using custom-designed theatrical costumes, creative onstage characters, state-of-art video and set design. Original music, song, dance and interactive sing-a-longs are a huge part of the live show, with performances from Shoppies Jessicake, Bubbleisha, Peppa-Mint, Rainbow Kate, Cocolette, Polli Polish and more.

Since its launch in 2014, the Shopkins brand continues to be a hot ticket item for children worldwide.  Shoppies dolls consistently rank as the #1 kids toy in the U.S.; the first-ever Shopkins movie, Shopkins Chef Club, was released last year by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment; and numerous dedicated apps continue to expand the brand’s ever-growing world.

Shopkins Live! Shop It Up! runs for approximately 90 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission. For more information, visit www.shopkinslive.com and sign-up to be the first to hear about the pre-sale offer, on-sale dates and North American tour dates.
