Race to the Rescue coming to Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin, with more cities to be confirmed.
The first live touring show for the hit PAW Patrol brand is coming to the UK and Ireland – with dates in Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin already confirmed for September 2017.
The 80-minute show – Race to the Rescue – is being presented by LifeLike Touring, VStar Entertainment Group and Nickelodeon.
Glasgow (September 1-3), Belfast (September 5-7) and Dublin (September 8-10) are the first cities to be confirmed. Tickets are on sale from www.pawpatrollive.com/uk.
Performances in England and Wales are due to be revealed in the coming weeks.
“PAW Patrol is the UK’s top preschool property and we know that families have been eagerly awaiting a live show,” said Alison Bakunowich, general manager, Nickelodeon UK & Ireland.
“With Race to the Rescue, we are growing the potential of the property; taking it beyond the screen and giving audiences an opportunity to experience and interact with PAW Patrol in a way that hasn’t been available before.”
Jim Waters, producer at VStar Entertainment Group, added: “Using Bunraku, puppetry elements are built into costumes worn by real actors to create a wonderful combination of life-sized 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.”
