Dora the Explorer heading to SA
Nickelodeon has teamed up with Life Like Touring and Blu Blood to bring pre-school heroine and intrepid adventuress Dora the Explorer and her friends to South Africa this winter.
Dora the Explorer Live! Dora's Pirate Adventure is the ultimate fantastic family-friendly theatrical experience and opens at the ICC, Durban in June before moving on to Emperors Palace, Johannesburg in July.
Families and kids are invited to join Dora and her pals Boots and Diego on a voyage of discovery as they embark on an exciting trip to Treasure Island in search of the ultimate pirate party. Help them navigate over the Dancing Mountain and through the Silly Singing Bridge in pursuit of the Pirate Piggies.
Along the way, Dora the Explorer fans will use their map-reading, counting, musical and language skills to successfully help Dora reach Treasure Island and avoid that pesky fox, Swiper!
"We are pleased to partner with Life Like Touring to bring their new production of Dora's Pirate Adventure to audiences in South Africa", said Thomas Kingsley, Senior Manager, Recreation Business Development at Nickelodeon. "Now seen by families in more than 30 countries worldwide, our Dora Live! productions continue to engage fans of Nickelodeon's beloved television show, while introducing children to the unbeatable experience of live theatre."
