Coverage takes in touring dates for family productions, children's live events that sell out large arenas, seasonal holiday shows, and new family entertainment centers opening or changing hands. It reaches every region where family-oriented live entertainment is staged, from major arenas to regional theaters and community festivals. Tours that play the same productions across many countries are tracked as closely as one-off premieres. Venue economics and the scheduling of shows around school calendars are the constraints that most often shape what reaches audiences.
