Animaniacs in Concert

The Phyllis and Bob Cowan Performing Arts Series presents Animaniacs in Concert at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 9. at the Al G. Langford Chaparral Center, 3600 N Garfield Midland College, Midland.

Join the leading voice-cast of Animaniacs — the iconic animated Warner Bros series created and produced by Steven Spielberg — for a “zany, animany and totally insaney” evening as they perform the world-famous songs from the beloved cartoon TV series (backed by video projections from the equally world-famous animations), a press release said.

General Admission seating is free; tickets are not required. Preferred seating is available for Friends of the Series and Distinguished Donors. Contact the Midland College Foundation, (432) 685-4526, for more information about these opportunities.

The show is a fabulously funny and joyful look back at what made Animaniacs such a special and successful top-rated show…its memorable (and educational) songs and unforgettable sketches, the release said. The live show celebrates the creative inspiration behind the songs with lots of audience interaction and never-before-told behind-the-scenes insider stories shared by voice actors.

Animaniacs in Concert stars the show’s original Emmy-Winning composer Randy Rogel and voice talent of Emmy winner Rob Paulsen (Yakko & Pinky on Animaniacs; Raphael & Donatello on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Randy and Rob will be joined by Emmy winner Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson and others on The Simpsons and several Animaniacs characters).
