When family musician Laurie Berkner brings her solo show to The Paramount in Huntington on June 9, she’ll ask the audience this: “Does my bunny say ruff-ruff?” And they’ll shout back, “No! It goes hop!” Berkner’s interactive show will include new favorites like “My Bunny Goes Hop” and old hits such as “Chipmunk At the Gas Pump.” Hers is just one entertainment option families this summer. Beloved characters such as a stage-show version of the YouTube star Blippi, the movie fish Nemo and the princess called Sleeping Beauty will all be on Long Island to charm audiences.
Here is a roundup of family-friendly performances during June, July and August: “It’s a very electric, positive feel in the room when I play at The Paramount,” says Berkner, who lives in Manhattan. Kids (and parents) should bring a stuffed animal for their heads and dancing shoes for their feet. Expect to hear new tune “Onyx the Octopus” and to be encouraged to sing and dance along as she performs her old hits “Pig On Her Head” (hence the need for the aforementioned stuffed animals) and “Waiting For The Elevator.
