Hasbro and Mills Entertainment announced the inaugural U.S. tour of My Little Pony Live, set to premiere March 2020.
Inspired by the My Little Pony’s signature themes of friendship and magic, the original stage production features the “the Mane Six” fan-favorite pony character: Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. Rounding out the lineup is Spike the Dragon from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic television series, which is currently airing its ninth season.
The musical follows the ponies as they prepare for the blossoming of Ponyville’s Rainbow Tree, promising another hundred years of friendship, as trouble arises in Equestria. The Mane Six must set out to save the ailing Rainbow Tree with strength, determination, creativity, and the magic of friendship.
The production kicks off in March 2020 and tours throughout the country with stops including Boston, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Houston, and more.
“We’re thrilled to work with Mills Entertainment to bring My Little Pony and the magic of friendship to life in a whole new way,” said Samantha Lomow, President, Hasbro Entertainment Brands. “Mills Entertainment has produced some of the most exciting stage shows with a variety of brands, and we can’t wait for fans to experience My Little Pony Live.”
“Having expanded from a consumer products brand in its early days to a powerful entertainment player, My Little Pony is an iconic brand that has touched people everywhere. We’re proud to partner with Hasbro to bring the live show to fans across the country,” says Michael Mills, CEO of Mills Entertainment.
