Nickelodeon, VStar Entertainment Group, and TEG Life Like Touring have announced the return of PAW Patrol™ Live! “Race to the Rescue” to Australian shores. This vibrant, music-laden event promises to bring the beloved pups from the highly acclaimed animated series PAW Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment, to life on stage.
Fans in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and, for the first time, Hobart, will have the opportunity to see their favourite characters in action from July to September 2024. Tickets for the Australian tour will be available from 10:00am local time on Thursday, 21 March, at www.pawpatrollive.com.au.
The narrative unfolds on the day of the Great Adventure Bay Race, pitting Adventure Bay’s Mayor Goodway against Foggy Bottom’s Mayor Humdinger. However, with Mayor Goodway missing, it’s up to the PAW Patrol to leap into action. Ryder and his team of pups – Marshall, Chase, Skye, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma, and Everest – embark on a thrilling mission to find Mayor Goodway and take her place in the race. Demonstrating their hallmark blend of unique abilities and teamwork, the pups underscore the message that “no job is too big, no pup is too small.”
The show is packed with lively music and an engaging storyline, offering valuable lessons on citizenship, social skills, and problem-solving, while the pups perform several heroic rescues to reach the finish line.
