the Animaniacs, a cartoon trio portraying the Warner Brothers and sister in
the 1990s—and more recently with new episodes on Hulu. Parents will have
fun reliving their youth while their children learn new music with Yakko voice
actor Rob Paulsen and Emmy-winning composer Randy Rogel, who wrote
and created many of the classic cartoon’s songs. Tickets start at $27.
