Chuck E. Cheese's animatronic band that entertained — or weirded out — parents while their kids played games is exiting stage left, Nathan writes.
What's happening: The chain recently announced that Munch's Make Believe Band will no longer appear at its nearly 600 locations — with one exception.
The band will hold a permanent "residency" — not unlike real-life Las Vegas shows featuring Adele, Celine Dion and Britney Spears — at its location in Northridge, California.
That'll be the only place you'll be able to hear the groovy tunes by Mr. Munch on keyboard, Jasper T. Jowls on guitar, Helen Henny on vocals and Pasqually on drums.
💭 Nathan's thought bubble: Whatever will we do without being able to eat greasy pizza while watching a rat play music?
