Pre-sale tickets for Baby Shark Live! go on sale Tuesday, aka today, at 12 p.m. ET. Those eager to score tickets for their little ones can use the code SHARK to purchase them, as TODAY reported. Tickets will be available to the general public on July 12 on Ticketmaster.

Baby Shark Live! kicks off in October 2019, according to a press release put out in June. Baby Shark Live! is being produced by Round Room Live, the same production company behind live shows like Disney Jr.'s PJ Masks series and the iceskating show, Rock the Rink.

At the time of the first announcement, Round Room Live's president Stephen Shaw told Billboard "Baby Shark" has proven to be more than a one-hit wonder. "There's obviously something incredible there with 'Baby Shark' and the toughest part for us is taking the three minute viral video and being able to produce a live show for the stage," he told Billboard. "Thankfully Pinkfong has a large catalog of songs that we have access to, with more than 400 titles."

The show will star Baby Shark and his good friend Pinkfong, but they'll take attendees on an under sea journey full of new songs for little ones to obsess over. Baby Shark Live! will feature other Pinkfong hits like "Five Little Monkeys," "Wheels on the Bus," "Jungle Boogie," "Monkey Banana Dance," and more.

By now, most parents are pretty fed up with "Baby Shark," but who could resist cute characters, fun songs, and the pure joy every kid at Baby Shark Live! will be experiencing? Certainly not me. What I'm saying is you doo doo doo doo do not want to miss it.
