Berenstain Bears LIVE! Extends Through October at MMAC

The critically-acclaimed family musical based on the classic book series, The Berenstain Bears LIVE! in Family Matters, the Musical will extend its stay in New York into the fall. A show Time Out New York says is filled with "Hilarious, side-splitting escapades. This spirited and perfectly-paced production will resonate across generations." The Berenstain Bears LIVE! in Family Matters, the Musical will now play through October 30, 2011 on Saturdays at 2pm and 4:30pm, and Sundays at 2pm at the Manhattan Movement and Arts Center (MMAC), 248 West 60th Street between Amsterdam and West End Avenue. This celebrated new musical is presented by Matt Murphy.

Adapted from the classic children's book series by Stan and Jan Berenstain, The Berenstain Bears LIVE! in Family Matters, the Musical brings everyone's favorite bear family to life in a thrilling theatrical experience that kids as well as their parents will treasure for many years to come. The newest Off-Broadway musical for Mamas, Papas, and Young Cubs in NYC, The Berenstain Bears LIVE! will give boys and girls of all ages the chance to fall in love with these characters, just as their parents did when they were growing up. The Berenstain Bears LIVE! features an original score by Michael Borton and a book by Borton and Michael Slade.

"Ticket sales have been off the charts, exceeding all expectations, and the response to the show from kids, parents, and critics alike has been phenomenal. The Bears are happy to continue serving up quality family entertainment to the New York metro area, and I would like to thank the
Manhattan Movement and Arts Center for making room at their state-of-the-art theatre for our extension," says producer Matt Murphy.
