"Dora the Explorer Live!" is based on Nickelodeon's hit animated series, Dora the Explorer, which currently ranks as the number-one-rated preschool show on all of commercial television. Dora is a seven-year-old Latina heroine, whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests. Both the Dora TV and stage shows are designed to actively engage their audiences using a variety of learning techniques.
"Dora is to kids what the Rolling Stones are to parents - she's one of the biggest stars in the world," said Stacey Burns, Vice President of Family Production for Broadway Across America. "'Dora the Explorer Live!' has proven to be one of the most successful family titles on the road in recent years. It truly is a blockbuster."
"'Dora the Explorer Live!' is a culturally rich, interactive theatrical show for preschoolers and their families that has captured preschool audiences everywhere. Featuring familiar songs, a captivating storyline and all the characters children have come to love, "Dora the Explorer Live!" showcases Dora's friends, including special helper Backpack, best friend Boots, cousin Diego, Map, Swiper the Fox, Tico and Benny. Each step of the gang's journey consists of a problem or puzzle that Dora and the audience must solve together in order to move on to the next challenge. Dora is proudly bilingual and uses her knowledge of English and Spanish to communicate with her friends, teach the audience Spanish words and overcome obstacles.
