Wiggles Race Into Worcester

"Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car..."
The Wiggles chugged into Worcester today for two shows at the DCU Center in Worcester, as part of their Racing to the Rainbow Live tour!
And while Greg (he's the original yellow Wiggle) is featured in the DVD of the same name as the show; the tour features Sam, as the Yellow Wiggle.
Children in the audience didn't seem to care as they sang and danced to their favorite tunes.
"Doing The Romp Bomp A Stomp..."
"Stop at the Light, Look Both Ways..."
"Cold spaghetti, cold spaghetti ..."

The show features The Wiggles beloved friends , too - Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog & Henry the Octopus.
"I'm a Rooster, I'm a Rooster, I'm a Rooster in Worcester," joked Captain Feathersword before breaking into the song Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep On His Pirate Ship.
The show had enough funny moments, like that, to keep parents awake, if not entertained. Many dads, in the audience were drawn to the big screens pre-show when The Wiggles aired a taped skit withe members of the New England Patriots. Dads, also enjoyed, that The Wiggles donned Red Sox baseball caps, as they drove onto the stage in their Big Red car.
It's hard to believe The Wiggles are celebrating their 16th season - although they weren't introduced to American audiences until they appeared on the Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney segments in 2002.
It seems there is no stopping this tour; while children will inevitably outgrow The Wiggles; new toddlers & preschoolers take up singing "Hot Potato, Hot Potato" almost daily.

Good news, if you missed the Worcester shows, The Wiggles will chug into Lowell in October at Paul E Tsonas Arena on October 25 for a pair of shows at 3 & 6;30 p.m. Tickets for Lowell are available through all Ticketmaster locations (www.ticketmaster.com) and the venue box office. Prices range from $23-$35. Seating for tickets purchased at the $35 level will take place in the “hot potato seats” and will include a customizable limited edition Wiggles picture frame.
