Wayne Brady and Jaci Velasquez Board VeggieTales' Noah's Ark

Carrots meet cubits as VeggieTales builds an ark filled with lessons about trusting God in Noah's Ark,  its first Bible-themed production in more than four years.  Starring Wayne Brady and Jaci Velasquez, along with Larry the Cucumber, Bob the Tomato, Noah's Ark will be available March 3.

The Grammy nominated and multi-Emmy award-winning host of one of TV’s most famous game shows, Let’s Make a Deal, and star of Whose Line Is It Anyway brings to life Noah’s son Shem, who first questions, then learns to embrace, his father’s direction from God. Christian singer, actress and radio host Jaci Velasquez co-stars as Shem’s wife, Sadie.

“Saying ‘yes’ to VeggieTales was a no-brainer – my daughter’s a fan and I love the music and messages,” says Brady, who performs seven original songs in Noah's Ark. “The best part is, Bob and Larry are down to earth and they never let the ‘I’m a global Veggie superstar’ thing go to their heads.”

Adds Velasquez: “Every parent searches for entertainment that’s both wholesome and imparts valuable life lessons, and with Noah’s Ark, VeggieTales serves up a delicious dish on both counts.  The story, the music and the visuals are perfect for the entire family.”
