The Wiggles Go on Tour, Launch New Licensed Items

The Wiggles are on the road again for their “Taking Off” tour, beginning in August, to introduce their new cast, which for the first time includes a female Wiggle. “The new cast will truly connect with today’s generation,” says Anthony Field, creator of the band. “There’s a new energy within the group and we’ve got a lot of new songs as well as your Wiggly favorites.” The Wiggles will introduce a new CD titled Taking Off!, a DVD with the same name and several licensing items. “With major new licensing partners including Wicked Cool Toys, which will launch our master toy line this fall, our amazing video and music partners, NCircle Entertainment and Razor & Tie and of course our entertainment partners, Sprout, Sirius and Corus Entertainment in Canada, we are poised for some exciting growth in 2013 and beyond,” says Ashley Mady, president of Brandberry, the licensing agent for the Wiggles.
