The Wiggles is a children's musical group formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1991. It was founded by Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page, and Jeff Fatt. The group has achieved worldwide success with its children's albums, videos, television series and concert appearances. The Wiggles were Australia's "richest entertainers" in 2005, earning more than AC/DC and Nicole Kidman combined.[1] In 2006, they earned $50 million.[2] They have earned 17 Gold, 12 Platinum, three Double-Platinum, and ten Multi-Platinum awards for sales of over 17 million DVDs and four million CDS.[3]

The Wiggles combine music and child development research in their videos, television programmes, and live shows. Field and Fatt were members of the Australian pub rock band The Cockroaches in the 1980s, and Cook was a member of several bands before meeting Field and Page at Macquarie University, where they were studying to become pre-school teachers. A school project led to the recording of their first album and tour in 1991. Their touring company expanded to include other characters (Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, and Wags the Dog) and a troupe of dancers.

By 2002, The Wiggles had become the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) most successful pre-school television programmes. The group also began to franchise The Wiggles' concepts to other countries, developed Wiggles sections in amusement parks in Australia and America, and won several awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA). In 2006, Greg Page, one of the group's founding members, was forced to retire from the group due to illness and was replaced by former dancer Sam Moran.

History

Origins

Anthony Field and Jeff Fatt were members of the Cockroaches, a popular pub rock band that had scored a number of Top 40 hits in Australia during the 1980s. After the Cockroaches disbanded in 1988, Field enrolled at the Institute of Early Childhood Studies at Macquarie University in Sydney. One of only half a dozen men in a program with roughly 500 women, Field soon met Greg Page and Murray Cook, former musicians.[4] Cook was the guitarist in a minor Sydney pop band, Bang Shang a Lang, while also working as a clerk at the Australian Taxation Office.[5] The group produced a music project for school and included early education concepts in their plans to become entertainers of children. Motivated to create high-quality children's music, they produced their first self-titled album in 1991.[4]

Needing a keyboardist, Field asked his old band mate, Fatt, to help out. (Fatt's reply was "Sure, but how long will it take...?")[6] The group received song writing help from John Field, Anthony's brother and former band mate, as they reworked a few of the old Cockroaches tunes into children's songs. For example, "Do the Monkey" was originally a Cockroaches song with different lyrics.[7] Another Cockroaches song, "Get Ready to Wiggle", inspired the new band's name.[4] In addition, the band received keyboards and songwriting assistance from fellow Macquarie student Phillip Wilcher, whose departure from the group shortly before they achieved international fame brought comparisons to Pete Best, the "fifth Beatle".[8]

From the beginning of The Wiggles' inception, everything they did was rooted in child development research and from the premise that "a young child has a short attention span, is curious about a limited number of objects and activities, loves having a job to do and is thrilled by mastering basic movements".[4] All their songs, based on pop music, were short and featured simple body movements and familiar activities. It was also the reason they stared continually into the camera in their videos and TV shows, and why their stage shows were full of audience participation.[4]

Early career

Using his connections with the Cockroaches, Anthony Field arranged with the ABC to distribute The Wiggles' album in Australia. On their manager's advice, they toured in unusual settings throughout Eastern Australia.[4][9] For example, their public debut was at a pre-school in Randwick. Their first tours consisted of busking at places in Sydney such as Circular Quay, performing for crowds debarking from Manly Ferry. After their first compact disc was released, they toured at Westfield shopping centres around Sydney. They also performed throughout New South Wales at shows promoted by local playgroups or nursing mothers' associations with whom they split their proceeds. John Field and Mick Conway, who later became The Wiggles' general manager, also performed with them.[10]

As Fatt reported, "it was very much a cottage industry." They were their own roadies and travelled in Fatt's van, towing a trailer with their borrowed equipment.[10] Their act was later augmented with supporting characters—the "friendly pirate" Captain Feathersword (played by Paul Paddick since 1993) and the animal characters Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, and Wags the Dog. These characters were initially performed by the members of the band. Field played Captain Feathersword and Wags; Cook played Dorothy, and Fatt played Henry.[11]

The Wiggles adopted colour-coded shirts: Page in yellow, Cook in red, Fatt in purple, and Field in blue. Field originally wore a green shirt but changed to avoid clashing with Dorothy the Dinosaur.[4] The colours assisted their recognition by very young children, and they wore this "uniform" when they appeared as The Wiggles in the media or in public. Each Wiggle developed a "schtick" based on actual behaviours of each member of the group. Page's was performing magic tricks; Cook's was playing the guitar; Fatt's was falling asleep; Field's was eating. (As Moran said, "Jeff really does fall asleep.") These behaviours, turned into caricatures, served the same purpose as the uniforms in differentiating the characters and making them memorable to young children.[12]

The Wiggles also made a decision to do not, as Cook has said, "just go down the route of what people think is kids' music".[4] Three albums' worth of original children's music, drawing upon several kinds of genres of music and types of instruments, were written during marathon songwriting sessions for a month each summer. Their songs were based on simple concepts familiar to young children; simple movements were developed by choreographer Leeanne Ashley to accompany each song.[4] One of these simple movements, their signature finger-wagging move, was created by Cook after seeing professional bowlers do it on television.[9] It became Wiggles policy to use this pose when being photgraphed with children. The group insisted that touching children, no matter how innocently, was inappropriate. As Paul Paddick has explained, "there is no doubting where their hands are". The use of the pose also protects them from possible litigation.[11]

The Wiggles have always invited children with special needs and their families to pre-concert "meet and greet" sessions.[13] Since 1995, The Wiggles have visited and performed for patients at the Sydney Children's Hospital every Christmas morning.[14] The group has always had a strict code of conduct based on zero tolerance of drug use, drinking, smoking, or bad language by any employee of their organisation.[2]

Success at home and abroad

Through the rest of the 1990s, The Wiggles maintained a busy recording and touring schedule, releasing multiple albums and home videos, and performing to increasingly large audiences in Australia and New Zealand. Unable to get a television programme produced through the ABC because of "irreconcilable artistic differences", they filmed two self-produced television series in the late 90s.[15] The band gained popularity in the United States in 1998 by piggybacking on the success of the television programme Barney & Friends. Lyrick Studios, the producers of Barney, began distributing Wiggles videos in the U.S. and advertising them in Barney videos. (Lyrick Studios was later acquired by HIT Entertainment). The Wiggles also opened for Barney during U.S. tours.[4]

Twentieth Century Fox produced a feature-length film The Wiggles Movie, which premiered in Australia in December 1997 and became the fifth-highest grossing Australian film of 1998.[16] By the late 90s, The Wiggles had grown so successful in America and in the UK that for a few years they travelled separately, in two separate planes and on two different buses, so that if disaster occurred, "at least half of them would survive and carry on." After it proved to be a logistical nightmare, they ended the practice, although by 2007, they travelled in two separate buses between cities.[2]

Their strong connection with the U.S. was "forged in the shell-shocked weeks after the terrorist attacks on New York in 2001," when The Wiggles travelled to America to perform despite the "stated risks". Paul Field reported that "New York has really embraced them. It was a kind of watershed." The decision earned them respect and loyalty in the U.S., and strong sales of The Wiggles videos eventually caught the attention of the Disney Channel. In January 2002, Disney began showing a Wiggles video clip between programmes of its morning Playhouse Disney block. By June of that year, the popularity of these interstitials prompted the Disney Channel to add The Wiggles television series to the Playhouse Disney programme schedule, showing full episodes multiple times per day.[10][17] By 2002, The Wiggles began to film their television series exclusively with the ABC and became "the most successful property that the ABC has represented in the pre-school genre."[15]

The Wiggles have performed 12 sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in 2003, and have been in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the first time in 2001.[18] By 2008, they earned 17 Gold, 12 Platinum, three Double-Platinum, and ten Multi-Platinum awards for sales of over 17 million DVDs and four million CDS.[3] As of 2005, they had performed in front of more than a million people across the globe.[19] Their success in music and television has led to extensive merchandising of Wiggles-branded books, toys, clothing, and other products for children by the Toronto-based toy company Spin Master since 2003. The group began franchising its concept to other countries in 2003, branching into Taiwan and Latin American markets with versions of Mandarin- and Spanish-speaking Wiggles.[6]

In September 2005, Australia's largest theme park, Dreamworld in Queensland, opened a "Wiggles World" section. Driven by the Dreamworld success, Six Flags opened its first "Wiggles World" section in April 2007 and by the end of the year had made plans to open 20 more at its parks across the U.S. The sections emphasize family involvement; they offer joint rides, for example, as opposed to rides in parks where "parents might stick their kid on a ride and sit back and watch."[13]

By 2007, The Wiggles employed 20 full-time workers in offices in Sydney and Dallas, Texas, as well as another 30 employees on their tours.[2] They became formally consolidated in 2005. The original four members serve as the group's only directors; Paul Field has been general manager of operations since the group was formed. Mike Conway has been general manager since 2001.[10] At the end of 2007, The Wiggles donated their complete back catalogue of 27 master tapes to Australia's National Film and Sound Archive.[20]

Page leaves the group

In December 2005, lead singer and founding member Greg Page, at age 33, underwent a double hernia operation. He withdrew from The Wiggles' U.S. tour in June 2006 after suffering fainting spells, lethargy, nausea, and loss of balance. He returned to Australia, where doctors diagnosed his condition as orthostatic intolerance, a chronic but not life-threatening condition.[21]

On November 30, 2006, the Wiggles announced Page's retirement from the group "to focus on managing his health." Page was replaced by Sam Moran, who had served as an understudy for The Wiggles for five years and had already stood in for Page on 150 shows. Page officially handed over his yellow skivvy (shirt) to Moran in a video posted on the Wiggles' official website.[22]

Aside from the four Wiggles, four secondary characters usually appear in their television series, videos, and live concerts. These characters were developed in the early 1990s and were originally played by group members and by Anthony Field's brother Paul, the band's manager. They are now played by hired actors, occasionally touring without The Wiggles as "Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends".[11] In 1998, Moran hosted this show before becoming Page's understudy.[23]

Dorothy the Dinosaur

Dorothy is a "rososaurus", a "yellow-spotted green dinosaur with surprisingly scary teeth". She lives in a beautiful pink and purple house with her own Rosy Orchestra and a rose garden in her backyard. She loves to eat roses and dance the ballet.[24] She enjoys serving guests rose-derived treats such as "rosy tea".[25] Dorothy, originally played by Cook, has since been played by Leanne Ashley,[26] and Lyn Stuckey.[27] South Australian Carolyn Ferrie, a trained opera singer and dancer, has provided her voice since 1997, when she worked with Field on an Irish music Wiggles CD. Ferrie describes Dorothy as "a dinosaur superstar ... very open, friendly, and warm. She is like a mother figure even though she is only meant to be five, and kids really respond to her... She is calm and mothering but friendly as well. She's young and still playful but has got a motherly feeling to her." Ferrie insists that Dorothy "is number one after the boys including Captain Feathersword, in terms of who kids say they love." Dorothy has a distinctive, charming, trill-like, descending laugh created by Ferrie.[28][25] In the spring of 2007, it was announced that Dorothy would star in her own television show in Australia.[28]

Wags the Dog

Wags is a tall, brown, furry dog with floppy ears and a happy face. He "loves to sing and dance and kids bring 'bones' that the Wiggly Dancers collect from the audience."[24] Wags was originally played by Wiggles founding member Field.[11] Wags has also been played by Edward Rooke,[29] Andrew McCourt,[30] Kristy Talbot,[31] and Paul Paddick.[11]

Henry the Octopus

Henry the Octopus likes to sing and to breakdance with his eight legs.[24] Since Henry's creation, Fatt has served as Henry's voice.[32] Other performers of Henry include Reem Hanwell,[33] Kristy Talbot,[31] and Katherine Patrick.[34]

Captain Feathersword

Captain Feathersword, "the friendly pirate", wears a hat, patch, and puffy shirt[11] and wields a "feathery saber".[35] He was created by Field but was first played by Paddick in 1993.[36] At first Paddick's role was minor, but it eventually evolved, and he has been called "the Fifth Wiggle".[35] For many parents, his vocal impersonations "are the high point of the Wiggles stage show" and range from Mick Jagger, Cher, and Placido Domingo to James Hetfield, lead singer of Metallica.[11]

Minor characters

For their stage shows, The Wiggles use two 16-metre trucks, three tour buses, a cast of 13 dancers, and 10 permanent crew members.[10] The "Wiggly dancers" have always made up a major part of the Wiggles shows and TV programmes and play many of the minor roles. Minor characters of note include The Cook (portrayed by Anthony Field's late father, John, and Crowded House drummer Paul Hester),[37] Professor Singalottasonga, and Dapper Dave (both played by Moran),[38] and Officer Beaples and Fiona Fitbelly (both played by Wiggles' choreographer Leanne Halloran).[39]
