"Animaniacs in Concert!" starring Detroit native Rob Paulsen heads to the Royal Oak Music Theatre in Royal Oak on Fri., February 25th, 2022

Legendary voice actor Rob Paulsen, who has delighted generations of animation fanatics with his signature roles in "Pinky and the Brain," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," "Jimmy Neutron," and other film and television projects, will be joined by "Animaniacs" composer Randy Rogel in the family-friendly event, "Animaniacs in Concert!", at the Royal Oak Music Theatre in Royal Oak on Friday, February 25th, 2022.
"Animaniacs in Concert!" features live music and voice work from Paulsen and music from Rogel while beloved "Animaniacs" cartoons are screened.

The timing could not be better since Hulu started airing all-new episodes of Speilberg's "Animaniacs" last November. The show which was introduced to millenials 30 years ago, returned with the original cast including Rob as Yakko. The show has already been picked up for a third season.

For Paulsen, the return to work is a triumph. Diagnosed with throat cancer five years ago, Paulsen only told a few friends and professional colleagues, facing the possibility that his decades long career might be over forever. But for a man of a hundred voices who suffered literally and figuratively in silence, he's now cancer-free, and back to work.
With a voice that spans generations of cartoon fans, Paulsen is still ready to bring joy and laughter into people's lives, his passion for his work now even stronger than ever. His memoir, "Voice Lessons," from Start Publishing was released on October 8th, 2019.
