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 run 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 "unforeseen circumstances," and refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Initially scheduled to kick off last Friday and Saturday (8/1-2) in Hartford, CT, the tour now comprises only an Aug. 22-24 run in Uniondale, NY.

The Uniondale show now is billed as "Disney Block Party Music Tour Presents" the Playskool Play Aid Benefit Concert. Charities listed on the concert announcement include Boundless Playgrounds, Give Kids The World, Hole in the Wall Camps and Play Pumps International.

Scheduled performers for Uniondale include Dan Zanes [ tickets ], They Might Be Giants [ tickets ], Imagination Movers, Ralph's World [ tickets ] and Choo Choo Soul [ tickets ]. Genevieve of Choo Choo Soul will host Friday's show, and Raven-Symone [ tickets ] will host the Saturday and Sunday shows.

Barenaked Ladies [ tickets ] were also on the tour's original bill, but dropped off after singer/guitarist Steven Page was arrested with his 27-year-old girlfriend in New York on charges of possessing cocaine.
