History[]
The tour was previously scheduled to be held throughout summer 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic forced to have the tour rescheduled to 2021. The rescheduling of the tour was announced on May 13, 2020.[2] The 2021 tour dates were later cancelled altogether, with the tour reannounced for 2022 on November 1, 2021.[3]
On March 8, 2022, it was announced that Natasha Bedingfield, who competed in the sixth American season of the show as Pepper, would serve as host for the tour.[4]
Cast[]
Previous Masked Singer contestant Natasha Bedingfield serves as host for the tour.
Costumes from previous seasons of the American television show are used in the show, including Alien and Monster (from season one), Robot and Taco (from season three), Baby, Pepper, and Queen of Hearts (from season six), and Thingamabob (from season seven).[5] Banana of Banana Split and Pepper[6] (both from season six) as well as Pineapple[7] (from season one) serve as characters used in meet-and-greet photo ops for VIP audience members.
Newly-created characters for the tour includes Big Mike and his Microphone Marauders. Boom Boom Box serves as the character/costume for the mystery celebrity.[5]
Mystery Celebrity[]
Each show has a mystery celebrity who is costumed as Boom Boom Box. Prior to the show, a set of clues are posted to The Masked Singer Tour's Instagram page. During the show, they perform one song and are ultimately revealed prior to the end of the show.
Mark Swanhart, who serves as the show's producer and director, says of the mystery celebrities, "Some of them are local celebs from the area, and some places it's just a complete surprise guest straight from LA".[5] Host Bedingfield also says, "There may be a famous athlete who's from your area or there may be a famous newscaster or an actor or a singer."[8]
Songs[]
In a behind-the-scenes post from Cameron Fontana, who was the mystery celebrity for the Columbus show, it was revealed that the mystery celebrities are able to choose what song they want to perform from a selection of six songs[9]:
- "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC
- "...Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears
- "Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks
- "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" by Shania Twain
- "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X ft. Billy Ray Cyrus
