Norman Foote at the MSU Riley Center

With his guitar, songs, and goofy props and puppets, Norman Foote charms adults and inspires kids to fits of giggles. For three decades, the Canadian singer, songwriter and comedian has been entertaining audiences around the world. You may remember his offbeat videos for "The Man Who Ran Away with the Moon" and "Dinosaur and the Progress of Man" from his association with Walt Disney Records. Even better are his concerts, where his love of performing creates an instant rapport with all ages. Expect lots of audience participation; during the Talking Head segment, for example, a kid volunteer becomes a live ventriloquist's dummy. Family passes for Foote's performance go on sale Aug. 26.
