Family Guy Sings!, a new stage show featuring the entire cast of Seth MacFarlane's Emmy Award-winning animated television series "Family Guy," promises to bring the house down at New York's legendary Carnegie Hall on Monday, November 24 & Tuesday, November 25. Catch this live theatrical event as it lands in NYC for 2 NIGHTS ONLY. Shows at 8:00 PM.
Family Guy Sings! is a brand new concept from the mind of "Family Guy" creator and star Seth MacFarlane. This unique, unpredictable and unforgettable musical experience will feature the superstar cast singing live with a 40-piece orchestra conducted by "Family Guy" composer Walter Murphy. The cast of "Family Guy": Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Seth Green and Mike Henry will perform a live reading of two uncensored, classic episodes hand-picked by MacFarlane, as well as bonus material never before seen on FOX. The cast will sing musical numbers from those episodes, along with many other classic songs that have been featured in the television series.
Family Guy Sings! will also feature a special preview of the eagerly anticipated "Family Guy" spin-off, "The Cleveland Show."
"Over the past few years, the cast of Family Guy has performed at a variety of prestigious arenas around North America. And now we're invited to spread our good cheer and off-color humor at the mecca of all concert venues:
Carnegie Hall," said the show's creator and star Seth MacFarlane, "We hope the good people at the hall are ready for a barrage of masturbation jokes that'll make Igor Stravinsky's 'Concerto No. 69' look like
George Gershwin's 'Clean Wholesome Hugs.'"
"Just For Laughs is proud to once again be working with Seth MacFarlane and
20th Century Fox Television," said Just For Laughs C.O.O. Bruce Hills, "Our continuing relationship with the immensely successful Family Guy property is important to Just For Laughs and we couldn't prouder to be presenting this amazing event at
Carnegie Hall in New York with our good friends at
Foster Entertainment."
Family Guy Sings! sprang forth from the wildly popular Family Guy Live! performances. First conceived and presented at 2004's Just For Laughs – the Montreal International Comedy Festival, Family Guy Live! was performed on stage in Los Angeles and New York in Spring 2005 in sold-out shows. This unprecedented event returned to Just For Laughs in 2007 and performed yet again in front of sold-out crowds. Family Guy Live! took Chicago by storm when it played the Chicago Theatre in September 2007. Family Guy Sings! takes the experience to a whole new level as a 40 piece live orchestra is added to the mix, bringing music into focus alongside the uproarious humor spilling from the stage.
Since its debut in 1999, the Emmy-nominated animated series Family Guy has attracted an impressively loyal following of devoted fans and has sold over 16 million combined DVD units, making it the second-largest-selling TV series ever. The show follows the adventures of lovable oaf PETER GRIFFIN (Seth MacFarlane) and his hilariously odd family of middle-class New Englanders. LOIS (Alex Borstein) is Peter's loving wife, a former Miss Teen Rhode Island who rules the roost but is one step away from a nervous breakdown. Then there are their kids: frumpy, 16-year-old MEG (Mila Kunis), the family's punching bag; 13-year-old CHRIS (Seth Green), a kid who can't make sense of the opposite sex, much less the evil monkey hiding in his closet, and 1-year-old STEWIE (MacFarlane), a diabolically clever baby whose heterosexuality is hanging by a thread. Rounding out the Griffin household is BRIAN (MacFarlane), the family dog, a member of Mensa with a penchant for dry martinis and dumb blondes. And then there are the adored characters CLEVELAND, HERBERT, THE
GREASED UP DEAF GUY and other favorites (Mike Henry).
