US smash hit show
Dora the Explorer Live!
Dora’s Pirate Adventure
is coming to the UK!

Following the massively successful US tour, Nick Jr’s Dora the Explorer is setting sail for the UK with her brand new LIVE musical voyage, Dora’s Pirate Adventure!

Dora’s Pirate Adventure will be docking at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiffon 15th August 2006and will be sailing to 15 locations including Nottingham, Birmingham, Dublin and Newcastle during its 4 month tour.  The tour will resume its voyage in 2007 after the Christmas break when it will travel to 12 additional towns and cities including London, Manchester and Leeds.

Join in with Dora, her cousin Diego, Boots the Monkey, and the rest of their friends as they embark on an exciting trip to Treasure Island, where they will navigate the seven seas, overcome a few fun obstacles and confront the Pirate Piggies.  Along the way, you will be able to use your map-reading, counting, music and Spanish-language skills to successfully help Dora find the treasure and end her adventure with a happy “yo-ho-ho!”

Dora the Explorer is a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests.  Dora explores her world just as pre-schoolers do everyday.  Both the TV and stage shows are designed to engage pre-schoolers to explore, communicate, solve puzzles and discover a diverse and exciting world, while having fun of course! 

Each step of their journey consists of a problem or puzzle that Dora and the audience must solve 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, overcome obstacles and reach her goals.  Dora teaches Spanish words or phrases to the audience and then encourages them to use their new words to help her complete her mission.

Dora the Explorer is consistently a top three ratings show on Nickelodeon’s award-winning pre-school channel Nick Jr, where an average of 115,000 fans tune-in per episode.  Dora fans and even those new to Dora are sure to enjoy this spectacular and unprecedented family show that will ignite kids to think and play along.
