BLIPPI THE MUSICAL Has Been Added to the KAUFFMAN CENTER PRESENTS Series
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Feb. 18, 2020
Today, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts announced an additional performance in the 2019-2020 Kauffman Center Presents series. Blippi The Musical will be performed in Muriel Kauffman Theatre at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 19.
Blippi, who burst on the YouTube scene as a fun and educational performer, is bringing his on-screen energy to Muriel Kauffman Theatre in his first-ever tour across North America. Blippi The Musical will bring the fun and antics of his beloved adventures to the stage and provide an interactive, family-friendly show unlike anything else. Blippi's appeal lies in his wonder and in the way he looks at the world, so expect plenty of fun and discoveries for the whole family.
Children from around the world have become enamored with Blippi's charismatic personality and innovative style of teaching lessons. Millions of kids have learned their colors and letters from Blippi, as well as how to count and much, much more. In just a few years since his show's introduction, Blippi has amassed 7.4 million followers and become one of the most popular YouTubers worldwide, with over 200 million views per month and billions in total views across 139 countries. In this live show, children will continue to sing and dance along with Blippi as they learn about the world around them.
Please note that Stevin John does NOT perform in Blippi The Musical. Stevin John is the creator of Blippi and acts as the writer and creative force behind the Blippi character. Now that Blippi has evolved as a character, Stevin is excited that a dynamic stage performer has been cast as Blippi to entertain and thrill audiences on stage.
Tickets range from $34.50 to $65, plus applicable fees, and go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, February 21. Tickets will be available through the Kauffman Center Box Office by calling (816) 994-7222 or online at www.kauffmancenter.org.
