Adventure Time, the delightfully weird and surprisingly deep Cartoon Network show, is heading our way, reconfigured into an interactive, live audio-visual event featuring members from the all-star cast.
In case you’re not down with the show, or what it is your kids are up to (you gotta get involved, man), Adventure Time tracks the adventures of Finn the Human (Jeremy Shada) and Jake the Dog (John DiMaggio) as they roam the mystical, post-apocalyptic land of oOo, fighting evil and suchlike. It’s much weirder than it sounds, encompassing classical fantasy tropes, pop culture, straight-up dadaism and more. There’s nothing else quite like it, even if it has spawned more than a few would-be imitators.
The live show will see Shada and DiMaggio joined by Olivia Olson (Marceline the Vampire Queen) and Hynden Walch (Princess Bubblegum) for a night of moderated discussion, live readings of classic scenes, an audience Q&A, plus musical performances (expect Bacon Pancakes). Other activities include Cosplay competitions, trivia games, art gallery, sponsor activations and more.
VIP packages will be available, hooking up deep-pocketed fans with a private pre-show party with the cast and a one-on-one with each cast member.
Adventure Time Live hits Melbourne Town Hall on Friday, March 10; Big top Sydney on Saturday, March 11; and QPAC Brisbane on Sunday, March 12. Tickets go on sale at 10am AEDT from December 12. Book here.
