Audiences have been charmed by the adventures of Tubby the Tuba for more than 60 years. Tubby plays oompah, oompah with his orchestra all day long, but he really wants to “dance with a pretty little tune.” A resourceful bullfrog and a jazz band show Tubby that everyone has the right to play his own melody. These classic characters are brought back to life with author/creator Paul Tripp’s original full orchestration and a new narration by Meredith Vieira of “The Today Show.” This is a musical treat for a whole new generation to enjoy the world’s most famous tuba. Launch date: October 3, 2006.
