PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the Rescue” to Tour Seven Florida Cities This Summer
Everybody’s Favorite Pups Take Center Stage in a Heroic Musical Adventure, Performing in Orlando, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, Melbourne and Tampa
ORLANDO, FL (June 20, 2017) – PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the Rescue” based on hit preschool series PAW Patrol, which airs on Nickelodeon and is produced by Spin Master Entertainment, will visit seven cities across Florida throughout June and July, including Orlando, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Ft. Myers, Ft. Lauderdale, Melbourne and Tampa. PAW Patrol Live!, presented by Pedigree, brings everybody’s favorite pups to the stage for an action-packed, high-energy, musical adventure. When Mayor Goodway goes missing during the day of The Great Adventure Bay Race, the pups come to the rescue. Join Ryder, Chase, Marshall, Rocky, Rubble, Zuma, Skye and Everest as they work to rescue Mayor Goodway and reach the race’s finish line before Mayor Humdinger! Tickets for all Florida shows are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting http://www.pawpatrollive.com/florida-paw-patrol-live-dates.
Featuring a cast of everybody’s favorite PAW Patrol characters and presented by VStar Entertainment Group and Nickelodeon, PAW Patrol Live! shows that “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” and shares lessons for all ages about citizenship, social skills and problem-solving as the characters each use their unique skills and teamwork. The show includes two acts and an intermission, and engages audiences with Bunraku-inspired puppetry, an innovative costuming approach that brings the PAW Patrol characters to life on stage with their vehicles and packs.
“Using Bunraku, puppetry elements are built into costumes worn by real actors to create a wonderful combination of life-size pups and to make a stronger connection with the audience. The PAW Patrol cast sings and dances, which brings a fun, realistic parallel between the animated series and the live show,” says Jim Waters, producer, VStar Entertainment Group.
The performance features up-tempo music and a brand new cleverly written script that is a good introduction to live theater for kids. Classic theatrical scenery along with a high-tech video wall visually transports families to an authentic PAW Patrol environment, including locations from the TV series, like Adventure Bay, The Lookout, Seal Island, Farmer Yumi's farm and Jake's Mountain. Special interactive video allows the audience to participate via interviews, solve clues with the Pups, follow Mayor Goodway and much more.
