Singer/actress Raven-Symone is throwing one heck of a traveling pajama party to support her new album.
Symone's 56-city "Pajama Party" arena tour is set to kick off April 26 in Orlando, FL, and make its way from the East Coast to the West Coast through mid-July. Concertgoers are encouraged to wear their PJs and arrive early for a slumber party leading up to the singer's performance on a stage designed to replicate her own house.
Fellow Disney star Mitchel Musso, known for his role as Oliver on the show "Hannah Montana," will open the tour, performing original R&B/hip-hop songs from his own forthcoming album. Artists B5 and Clique Girlz will also have a turn on stage. The full itinerary is listed below.
The outing comes on the heels of Symone's latest film project, Disney's "College Road Trip," which recently debuted at No. 1 at the box office. The young entrepreneur executive-produced the flick, which co-stars Martin Lawrence.
One of the songs featured in the film, a remake of '80s party jam "Double Dutch Bus," is the lead single from Symone's new self-titled album, which is scheduled to drop April 29. The video for the song is streaming at her website.
Symone, who shot to fame as the precocious three-year-old Olivia on "The Cosby Show," keeps a loyal following of teens and tweens through her music and her starring role on "That's So Raven," which is the Disney Channel's longest-running series, according to a press release. The television show, which Symone produced, has earned numerous honors, including two NAACP Image Awards, two Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards and a primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program.
