Presale Tickets Information and Tour Dates Announced for Children's Musical -

Blippi, the YouTube sensation loved by children everywhere, is taking its show on the road.

Created by Stevin John in 2014, the show features the character Blippi—played by John—and aims to educate children on topics like colors, numbers and much much more. The YouTube channel has 7.51 million subscribers.

"My goal with Blippi was to bring positive emotions and memories to the act of learning," says John on the official Blippi website. After a few weeks of doodling wardrobe ideas, brainstorming the characters' names and jotting down video topics, John decided to host the show himself.
