X BARKS THE SPOT IN PAW PATROL LIVE! THE GREAT PIRATE ADVENTURE IN PHILADELPHIA
JOIN THE HEROIC PUPS ON AN ALL-NEW PIRATE-THEMED MISSION WHEN THEY TAKE THE STAGE AT THE KIMMEL CENTER’S MERRIAM THEATER MAY 4-6, 2018
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Philadelphia, PA, March 19, 2018) –– All paws on deck! The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, Nickelodeon, and VStar Entertainment Group present PAW Patrol Live! The Great Pirate Adventure, an all-new action-packed, music-filled production based on the top-rated animated preschool series PAW Patrol produced by Spin Master Entertainment. The new live stage show, which follows the heroic pups as they embark on a pirate-themed adventure to uncover hidden treasure, will visit the Merriam Theater May 4-6, 2018 for seven exciting performances.
“After a smashing sold-out run last season, the adorable pups from PAW Patrol Live! are returning to tackle another adventure on the Merriam Theater stage,” said Anne Ewers, President and CEO of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. “The Kimmel Center’s Family Discovery Series features shows that both entertain and educate young audiences, giving them the opportunity to interact with some of their favorite TV characters while learning valuable skills like teamwork.”
In PAW Patrol Live! The Great Pirate Adventure, Mayor Goodway is getting everything shipshape for a big Pirate Day celebration in Adventure Bay. When Cap’n Turbot falls into a dark and mysterious cavern, it’s PAW Patrol to the rescue! Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky, and Zuma save Cap'n Turbot and discover a secret pirate treasure map that leads them on an epic adventure. Over land and on the high seas, the pups set out to find the treasure for Mayor Goodway so the celebration can go on. Things get ruff when Mayor Humdinger wants to find the treasure first for Foggy Bottom. The pups need all paws on deck for this pirate adventure, including help from the newest pup who’s all ears…Tracker! Using their heroic rescue skills, problem solving, and teamwork, the pups set sail to save the day. No job is too big, no pirate pup is too small!
PAW Patrol Live! The Great Pirate Adventure follows the first live show PAW Patrol Live! Race to the Rescue, which is currently touring through 2018. PAW Patrol Live! The Great Pirate Adventure includes two acts and an intermission, and incorporates an innovative costume approach to help bring the pups to life on stage as well as their vehicles and packs during the adventure. The performance is interactive, engaging audiences to learn pirate catchphrases, dance the pirate boogie, and help the pups follow the treasure map and solve picture puzzles during their mission!
Other featured upcoming performances at the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus include: School of Rock (March 27-April 1, 2018, Academy of Music), Wild Kratts Live! (April 22, 2018, Merriam Theater), and The Sound of Music (April 24-29, 2018, Merriam Theater).
