Nick Jr.'s Dora the Explorer Live! Australian Tour Extended by Popular Demand

May 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Following the success of the sell-out Australian capital city shows and with the extraordinary response the live show has received regionally, Dora the Explorer is looking forward to seeing more of Australia. Entertainment Store Group and Nick Jr. are proud to announce NICK JR.’s DORA THE EXPLORER LIVE! SEARCH FOR THE CITY OF LOST TOYS tour has been extended to include new dates in suburban Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and new regional city locations throughout the Eastern states of Australia.

This is the last chance for East Coast audiences to see this two act, song and dance spectacular starring Dora, Boots, Diego and many of their friends going on a wonderful adventure and performing musical numbers live in theatres around the country.

With help from the audience, Dora and her courageous friends use their musical, language, math and reasoning skills to navigate their way through the number pyramid, the mixed-up jungle and other locations in order to find Dora’s missing teddy bear Osito in the City of Lost Toys.

Dora fans around Australia have been falling in love with this all-new family theatrical experience that invites kids to think, sing and play along.

“Produced with impeccable attention to detail in the elaborate picture book sets, the authentic, immediately recognisable costumes and the eye-catching cut-outs and puppetry, Nick Jr.’s Dora the Explorer Live! Search for the City of Lost Toys is classic children's theatre."   Peter Wilkins, THE CANBERRA TIMES

Dora the Explorer is designed to teach kids to explore, communicate, overcome obstacles, solve puzzles and discover a diverse and exciting world … all while having a lot of fun! The live show, NICK JR.’s DORA THE EXPLORER LIVE! SEARCH FOR THE CITY OF LOST TOYS is an interactive adventure that leads Dora, our 7 year old Latina heroine, Boots the monkey, Diego and many of Dora’s friends on a fun-filled adventure.
