The multi-national cast of Up with People, which has toured 38 countries around the world during the last 47-years, has announced that Vero Beach will be a stop on their 2013 tour. 

While in Vero Beach between February 25 and March 4, Up with People will spend time participating in service projects and live with local host families. Up with People is currently recruiting families to host international cast members during their stay in Vero Beach. The sharing goes both ways…while families share their traditions and local attractions, the cast members share their experiences and cultures. By the end of their five-month world tour, the cast will visit dozens of communities throughout the United States, Asia, and Mexico.

Best known for their high-energy, upbeat, family-friendly entertainment, the cast of 120 participants representing 20 countries are participating in Up With People’s international global education program for young adults.

For over 45 years, the casts of Up with People have toured the globe performing for millions, including an unprecedented four Super Bowl halftime shows. On January 1, 2011, Up with People produced and performed, for the second time in three years, during the opening celebration of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses’ Rose Parade, which was estimated to have been seen by a television audience of more than 50 million.

Long before Glee, American Idol, and High School Musical came about, Up with People created the genre of high-energy entertainment performed by an ensemble of talented young people from around the world. The show is an international collaboration of music, dance, and genuine energy with a message of hope and goodwill across nations.

Voices, UWP’s latest production, is a performance featuring both original and popular music and is a dynamic blend of feature soloists, full cast production numbers, fast- moving choreography, and colorful costumes. Voices was inspired and motivated by recent worldwide events and features medleys of popular music, international music, and of course, Up with People original music.

Throughout the show, international cast members will provide the audience with a glimpse of their own national traditions and cultures through music and dance.

Due to a gift from the McDonald/Cunningham Family Foundation, the proceeds from show ticket sales will benefit the Dasie Hope Center, the Gifford Youth Activity Center, and Vero Beach High School Pride and anti-bullying programs. General Admission cost is only $15 for adults and $12 for children under 12, students, and seniors. Special Patron Seating is also available for $100 per person.   For ticket information call 772-564-5537 or visit www.upwithpeople.org/VeroBeach.
