Fresh from its debut in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the high-energy Hi-5 cast will bring its hand-clapping extravaganza, “The Hi-5! Move Your Body” tour to Boston’s Shubert Theatre for two performances only on January 2.

Hi-5 is already well known to preschoolers and their families for their kinetic TV show seen each weekday on TLC and Discovery Kids. The Boston engagement is part of a ten city U.S. tour. Hi-5 is all about motivating children to express themselves in individual creative and fun new ways.

Hi-5 is the newest children’s sensation to reach the preschool set since the debut of fellow Aussie’s “The Wiggles.”

The Hi-5 gang, Karla, Kimee, Curtis, Shaun and Jenn, will present a 75-minute show that recreates the fun and excitement of the Hi-5 TV program including all of the show’s popular “Songs of the Week” and the fun “favorites” segments, which include Hi-5’s favorite songs and dances along with their favorite places, foods, colors, animals, time of day and stories.

The “Move Your Body” tour will offer the opportunity for audience participation. Kids will be encouraged to limbo along with Shaun for a Latin-American beat; try the leg-slapping Hi-5 Live! Dance with Karla and Kimee; join in with the funny Fizzy Dance; embark on a Surfin’ Safari with Jenn and Chatterbox; bop along with the Puerto Rican singing frogs; and help the Keeper of the Night Stars find his lost stars, among other engaging numbers.

For information and tickets, stop by the Shubert box office, or call 1-800-447-7400.
