All paws on deck! Following the continued success of the PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the Rescue” tour
internationally, Nickelodeon, VStar Entertainment Group and TEG Life Like Touring today announced a second live stage show based on PAW Patrol, the top-­rated preschool series produced by Spin Master Entertainment, which will make its New Zealand debut in January 2019.

The new action-­packed, music-­filled production, PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure,” will feature the beloved characters from the animated series, and will be playing The Trusts Arena in Auckland on 12 and 13 January and Claudelands Arena in Hamilton on 19 and 20 January 2019. Tickets to see the pups embark on this pirate-­themed voyage go on sale to the general public at 10am this Monday 5 November 2018 through Ticketek.

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!

Similar to PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the Rescue,” which continues to tour the world in 2018 and 2019, this new show, 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.

“PAW Patrol Live! has become a huge touring success for Nickelodeon, with ‘Race to the Rescue’ playing to sellout crowds during its inaugural year on the road,” said Gerald Raines, Senior Vice President, Global Location Based Experiences, Nickelodeon Group. “In response to massive demand, we’re delighted to roll out PAW Patrol Live! ‘The Great Pirate Adventure,’ giving kids and families across the country an opportunity to go on a brand new adventure with the heroic pack of pups.”

“We’re incredibly excited to expand our ongoing partnership with Nickelodeon, which will allow us to bring PAW Patrol fans a completely new and memorable experience with their favourite pups on the stage,” said Anton Berezin, Managing Director, TEG Life Like Touring. “Like ‘Race to the Rescue,’ this is a high quality production that we are very proud of, featuring an outstanding cast, unique costumes that add dimension to each character on stage and fun musical numbers.”

“We’re excited to see our animated series continue to live beyond the screen,” said Jennifer Dodge, Executive Vice President, Spin Master Entertainment. “As PAW Patrol evolves as an evergreen property we continue to explore exciting and relevant ways to bring the series off-­screen – with everything from toys to experiences like PAW Patrol Live! ‘The Great Pirate Adventure.’”
