To save the theatre, they will need the audience to help fill the Party Puddle Applause Meter and put on the biggest Broadwave show ever, showcasing everyone can Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo it!

Earlier this year, Nickelodeon announced a third season of the hit preschool series, Baby Shark's Big Show!, co-produced by The Pinkfong Company. The new season (18 half-hour episodes; four hour-long specials) will follow Baby Shark, his family, and his friends as they dive into unexpected adventures in Carnivore Cove and beyond, from adopting cuddly sea-critter pets to meeting electrifying new fishy friends and more. Additionally, Baby Shark's Big Movie, the first-ever feature-length original animated movie based on the global preschool phenomenon, will premiere this holiday season on Paramount+.
"Pinkfong Baby Shark" launched on YouTube in November 2015 and took the world by storm, becoming the world's first video ever to hit 13 billion views on YouTube, making it the most-viewed video in YouTube history. The dynamic combination of music, characters, story, and dance propelled the song to RIAA Diamond certification and the song is an 11x platinum single, which sold over 11 million units in the U.S., and spawned a viral phenomenon, #BabySharkChallenge, generating over 1 million cover videos around the globe.
