"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 favorite pups on the stage," said Eric Grilly, CEO, VStar Entertainment Group.

Our show venue partners are securing dates throughout 2018 to bring this hot ticket to kids and their families."

"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.'"

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 will continue to tour through 2018, the 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.
