Hasbro and Mills Entertainment have unveiled the tour dates for the inaugural U.S. run of My Little Pony Live, an original stage production featuring the classic pony characters.

The first leg of the U.S. tour is set to begin in March 2020. The live production follows as the ponies prepare for the blossoming of Ponyville’s Rainbow Tree, promising another hundred years of friendship, when trouble arises in Equestria. “The Mane Six” must set out to save the ailing Rainbow Tree with strength, determination and creativity.

In addition to “the Mane Six” characters—Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash—My Little Pony Live will feature Spike the Dragon from the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic television series, which is currently airing its ninth season.

The original stage production was developed by writer and lyricist Jeremy Desmon (Disney’s Rockin’ Ever After, Nick Jr.’s Move To The Music!, Nancy Drew), composer Jeff Thomson (Jawbreaker, Pump Up The Volume, Nancy Drew) and director Jenn Rapp (Broadway’s The Illusionists, Disney’s D Cappella, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Live).

Tickets and VIP packages go on sale on Friday, August 9 in select cities. Tour stops include 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 of 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,” said Michael Mills, CEO of Mills Entertainment.
