The Disney Block Party tour, a children's music tour that initially was scheduled to play 23 dates in nine cities, has been pared down to a three-day ply of benefit shows in New York.
According to an announcement from the Meadow Brook Music Festival in Rochester, MI--one of the venues where the production was due to stop--the tour was canceled due to "out of the blue circumstances," and refunds are available at the full point of purchase.
