An upcoming hit sensation that is bound to sweep the nation. Chuck Armstrong and his studio crew are in New York City bringing back an old sensation, Wonderama.

What is Wonderama?

“A TV show made for kids, by kids,” says Chuck Armstrong, the executive chief producer for Wonderama. First introduced to American families in 1955, this show brings joy to kids and adults. “We’re trying to show things that everyday kids can do to really attain their goals in life,” says Armstrong. Not only is this show encouraging kids to reach their goals, but it also teaches kids how to overcome challenges. Everyone who collaborated on Wonderama has a story about overcoming challenges. Coco and Breezy are 27-year-old twins who were bullied during their childhood. They overcame their bullying by designing glasses to help avoid making eye contact with people. After high school, they moved to New York City. They now own a well-known eyewear company and are DJ’s for Wonderama.

David Osmond, is a 36 year old singer who is also fighting multiple sclerosis. Although he is overcoming MS, Osmond is funny and outgoing. It’s no wonder he is the host of the show why kids love him!

“I’ve hosted a lot of shows, but nothing like this. I’m having the time of my life” chuckles David. He isn’t the only one who is having the time of his life. The look on the kids faces as they watch live animals and people dancing makes it almost seem like a miniature Disney World.

What makes Wonderama even more special?

Wonderama gives kids the opportunity to feel special. Take for example, Nate, the eight year old kid who raised money for charity. Or the seven-year-old girl who was a boxer. To make it even better, the kids in the audience demonstrate their talents. Wonderama gives kids an opportunity to become a something more than just an average kid.

While Wonderama is a children’s tv show, people of all ages can enjoy watching David Osmond, Mr. Blue, and a special guest appear when the show airs on tv, October 2016. They are still filming the first season at Baruch Performing Arts Center.
