Efren Ramirez, Jon Heder and Jon Gries

Gimme your tots…and tickets to see Napoleon Dynamite Live in Newport this spring.

Napoleon Dynamite Live, a special stage show featuring some of the stars of the iconic, early-aughts teen movie, Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Jon Gries (Uncle Rico) and Efren Ramirez (Pedro), will hit the MegaCorps Pavilion stage Saturday, April 20.

“The beloved indie classic Napoleon Dynamite was released 20 years ago. Since then, much has changed, but the characters, as enduring as they are endearing, stay in our hearts. Appealing to the inner-teenager in each of us, the story, and more importantly the dialogue, makes Napoleon Dynamite one of the most quoted movies of our time,” reads a press release.

The show offers a unique evening that’s described as a blend of comedy improv, game show and party for all ages. A full screening of the movie and a Q&A with the actors will be included.

Tickets for the show go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 1 with prices starting at $39. Get tickets here.

MegaCorp Pavilion, 101 W. Fourth St., Newport. More info: promowestlive.com.
