Hello, parents of small children, and welcome to your waking nightmare. Baby Shark Live! is coming to Cincinnati's Aronoff Center on March 7 and there is nothing you can do to escape the "doo doo doo doo doo doo."
The stage show is a "fully-immersive live concert experience" based on Pinkfong's song "Baby Shark."
Based on an event description, "Fans of all ages will delight as Baby Shark joins up with his friend Pinkfong to take an adventure into the sea, singing and dancing through new and classic songs including 'Five Little Monkeys,' 'Wheels on the Bus,' 'Jungle Boogie,' 'Monkey Banana Dance' and, of course, 'Baby Shark!'"
"Baby Shark" — which is literally just a series of song verses you will never be able to get out of your head about different members of a shark family (from baby to mommy, daddy, grandma and grandpa) with the words "doo doo doo doo doo doo doo" over and over again — "had a 17-week streak in the Top 50 while topping the Kids Digital Song Sales Chart. The 'Baby Shark' Dance video has over 3.8 billion views, making it the 5th most viewed video in the history of YouTube," says a release.
Yes, there's a dance, and it involves using your hands and arms like a shark mouth and flapping them open and closed.
“We’re thrilled to bring Baby Shark Live! to so many new markets across North America,” says Stephen Shaw, the tour’s producer and co-president of Round Room Live, in the release. “This is a cultural phenomenon and we are very pleased how families have responded to Baby Shark live onstage.”
The live show takes place 2 p.m. March 7. Tickets range from $30-$65 and there are a limited number of post-show meet-and-greets available for $50.
