It’s time for Animaniacs: In Concert!   Join the leading voice-cast of Animaniacs - the iconic animated Warner Bros series created and produced by Steven Spielberg - for a “zany, animany and totally insaney” evening as they perform the world-famous songs from the beloved cartoon TV series (backed by video projections from the equally world-famous animations).  The show is a fabulously funny and joyful look back at what made Animaniacs such a special and successful top-rated show…its memorable (and EDUCATIONAL) songs and unforgettable sketches! The live show celebrates the creative inspiration behind the songs with lots of audience interaction and never-before-told behind-the-scenes insider stories shared by voice actors (who are all behind some of the most unforgettable cartoon characters in the history of animation).

Animaniacs in Concert stars the show’s original Emmy-Winning composer, Randy Rogel and voice talents of Emmy winner Rob Paulsen (Yakko & Pinky on Animaniacs; Raphael & Donatello on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).  Randy and Rob can also be joined by Emmy winner Maurice LaMarche (Brain on Pinky & the Brain/Animaniacs, Kiff & Calculon on Futurama, & Big-Bob on Hey Arnold), and, at select engagements, Jess Harnell (Wakko on Animaniacs, Captain Hero on Drawn Together, & more).

The Animaniacs property is as relevant today as it was when the TV series debuted in the early 1990’s.  It’s an especially great way for venues to attract that coveted “younger demographic”… especially today’s thirty and forty-year-olds who grew up watching the series in the 1990’s and can’t wait to see it up close and personal. Under the watchful eye of creator and executive producer, Steven Spielberg, the series has been rebooted into production with new episodes currently streaming on HULU, bringing a whole new audience of fans to the property and to the live show. Animaniacs: In Concert gives fans of all ages -- old and new -- a chance to experience this fantastic property and its universally beloved voices and songs like never before – live on stage.  As its creators say, “Animaniacs in Concert is for the adults – it’s hip, it’s funny…but kids will love it, too!”.  

Since the Animaniacs’ musical scores were originally performed by a Hollywood studio orchestra, Rogel's Emmy-winning songs are also available with full symphony charts making this the perfect event for symphonies!   Plus, you can take advantage of numerous educational outreach options – from school shows and college student workshops to inspirational speeches and post-show talk-backs.

"You could know nothing about Yakko, Wakko and Dot and still have just as good a time as the people who grew up watching 'Animaniacs' every day." —Dallas Observer

"Hilarious stage banter and storytelling bring these beloved animated characters to life through inspired songwriting and mischievous performance." —Red Dirt Report
