Four-time Grammy-winning artist "Weird Al" Yankovic will bring his highly successful Mandatory World Tour to Hershey Theatre on Tuesday, September 13 at 8:00 p.m.

Tickets for this show are $42.35, $47.85 and $62.35 (processing fees apply). They are available at Hershey Theatre Box Office. They can be charged by phone at 717-534-3405 or 800-745-3000, and online at www.HersheyEntertainment.com or www.TicketMaster.com.

According to Al: "I've decided to do the Mandatory World Tour for one more year, after learning that some people didn't make it out to the show this last time around. Apparently, they don't know the meaning of the word 'mandatory'!!"

"Weird Al" Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history, earning four Grammys and 15 career nominations. He is best known for his hilariously irreverent parodies of hit songs by the biggest stars over the past three decades, including "Eat It," "Like A Surgeon," "Smells Like Nirvana," "Amish Paradise," "White & Nerdy," and "Tacky."

In 2015, Yankovic released his 14th studio album, the Grammy Award-winning Best Comedy Album Mandatory Fun making history as the first comedy album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, and the first time a comedy album has reached the top of the chart in over 50 years. The single "Word Crimes" debuted in the Billboard Top 40, making him one of only three people to have had Top 40 singles in each of the last four decades (the other two are Michael Jackson and Madonna).

Yankovic has found success in multiple entertainment formats including the film world with his cult classic UHF, his CBS TV series The Weird Al Show, online with The Nerdist Channel with his faux celebrity interview web series Face 2 Face with "Weird Al" Yankovic, and the publishing world with Weird Al: The Book (an illustrated hardcover on Al's life and career) and his children's books, including the New York Times bestseller When I Grow Up.
