Say goodbye to your chance to see "Hello Kitty" live in Utah.

Promoters of the touring "Hello Kitty's Supercute Friendship Festival" have canceled four shows scheduled for Aug. 7-9 at the Maverik Center in West Valley City.

The promoters cite "operational reasons" as the reason for canceling. (You can go to the tour's website to get a taste of what you and your kids are missing.)

Ticket holders may get refunds at the point of purchase.
