FORT WORTH — Performing Arts Fort Worth Inc. welcomes Playhouse Disney's Choo-Choo Soul with Genevieve! to McDavid Studio, 301 E. 5th St., on Sunday, October 11, 2009, at 1:30 and 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 and are on sale NOW!

Recently honored with a Parents' Choice Award, Choo-Choo Soul is a Playhouse Disney music video-style series aimed at preschool-age children. On the interstitial programs, singer Genevieve Goings plays a conductor who steers her train through colorful landscapes while beat-boxing engineer, Constantine "DC" Abramson, helps her sing hip-hop songs about learning manners, the ABC's and 1-2-3's.

Choo-Choo Soul with Genevieve! is an in-concert extension of the television series. The concerts will feature Goings performing many of the popular songs from the show, as well as tracks from Choo-Choo Soul's self-titled CD, such as "Chugga Chugga Choo Choo," "Let's Dance," "The Bullet Train" and "Blue Zoo Train."

Choo-Choo Soul was developed by Greg Johnson, a video-game designer. While auditioning performers for voice-over work for an Xbox game, he and music director Burke Treischmann stumbled upon Goings. The two were so impressed with her audition that Johnson rewrote the game's script, turning it into a draft of Choo-Choo Soul. Johnson began writing songs and melodies, and he recruited Treischmann and Goings to flesh them out. A pitch to Disney later, the Choo-Choo Soul train was rolling full steam ahead!
