Chuggington Steams Toward the Stage

Ludorum has tapped Life Like Touring to develop a live-action, musical children's show based on its TV series "Chuggington," which will launch a North American tour in January.

"Chuggington Live! The Great Rescue Adventure" will let families experience the train-tastic adventures of the Chuggington trainees Wilson, Brewster and Koko.

The two-act live show is presented in front of a giant LED video wall that will feature animated locations and background action sequences from the TV series.

The tour is currently scheduled to play more than 50 cities throughout North America.

"‘Chuggington’ fans will be treated to plenty of adventure and well-known songs from the show, as well as brand new ones exclusive to 'Chuggington Live!' The show is interactive, and we look forward to seeing our audiences participate from their seats and help the trainees on their exciting adventure," says Natalie Setton, head of international sales, Ludorum.
