The Wiggles have entertained children throughout the world for over two decades and are bringing all the excitement and joy of their movies and television shows right before your eyes, live on stage! Come Celebrate with Anthony, Greg, Murray, and Jeff!

After 2012, Jeff, Murray and Greg will hand over the purple, red and yellow skivvies to a new generation of performers to instead take on backstage creative roles.  Anthony will continue on stage as the Blue Wiggle alongside Emma Watkins, Lachlan Gillespie, and Simon Pryce, who have been handpicked by the group to become the Yellow, Purple, and Red Wiggles.  Emma, Lachy and Simon will join the original members of The Wiggles ‘on the road’ for their Farewell tour.  After that they will pull on the yellow, purple, and red skivvies and join Anthony on stage so that The Wiggles can continue to entertain and delight a new generation of children. “We want to thank all our Wiggly fans– it’s been a great ride in our big red car.  We are really looking forward to saying farewell and having one last dance with everyone during the tour.” Jeff said.
