If you live in the DC Metro area and loved Looney Tunes cartoons as a kid and want to relive your childhood, I have been offered a family 4 pack of tickets for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performance of Bugs Bunny on Broadway at Merriweather Post Pavillion on Saturday, July 11
The concert will feature Warner Brother’s Studio cartoons on big screens while their original film scores are performed live by the BSO. “Bugs Bunny on Broadway is the perfect way to introduce your child to classical music through classic Warner Brothers cartoons and favorite characters like Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, and Porky Pig.
This unique concert will feature musical masterpieces of Wagner, Rossini, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, and others, as interpreted through the “hare-raising” cartoon scores of legendary Warner Bros. Studios composers Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn, in such iconic Looney Tunes as “What’s Opera, Doc?,” “The Rabbit of Seville,” “Corny Concerto,” “Baton Bunny,” “Long-Haired Hare,” “High Note,” and many more.
Bugs Bunny on Broadway made its debut at The Gershwin Theatre in 1990. Now almost two million people worldwide have seen this concert in performances with the world’s greatest orchestras. It has been called “hilarious” by The New York Times and “spectacular” by The New York Post.
Spending a Saturday evening under the stars introducing classical music with my kids with some free tickets sounds pretty good to me!
Enter to win by leaving a comment telling me which Looney Tunes character you loved most. Comments will be accepted until Midnight on Thursday, July 2 and the winner will be notified on July 3.
Thanks to Merriweather Post Pavillion for providing tickets for this giveaway and sending my family to the show!

Elmer Fudd. I would love to win this pack for my family. All of us are Bugs Bunny fans. My husband has Volumes 1 through 6 of the DVD set. When I go out he lets the children watch Bugs DVDs with him — al of them have a great time. It is hard to find a DVD that can be enjoyed by 2 adults, a 6 yo, 10 yo, and 13 yo.
My husband’a teacher and often shows them cartoons that have cultural literacy or historic significance. He has used parts of cartoons in his English classes.
This sounds like so much fun! Thanks to the Little Einsteins, my 3 yo loves classical music. Pair that with cartoons, and it’s a home run!
Gotta go with infamous Bug’s Bunny…what’s up doc! Loved his casual attitude, but watch out cause he always haas something up his sleeve. What a fun giveaway! I’m crossing my fingers. This would be a great day out for the kids and I.
Absolutely Bugs Bunny, with second place to Marvin the Martian, and third to my real sleeper, Gossimer (that’s a tough one!). But Bugs is king! My kids, 9 & 7, went to the show last year, and while they really liked it, I still think my wife and I have more fun. I now have a greatest Bugs DVD for the kids, and we have convinced them that it will make them “all better” on sick days. As for me, I haven’t sat down to watch “Saturday morning cartoons” in 20 years (at least!), but I can remember so many bugs cartoon by heart it’s amazing I don’t have bigger ears.
Catching up on my reader and realized that I did the exact same comment prompt as you!
