Dora the Explorer Live Tour has been announced. Nickelodeon is excited to announce that Dora the Explorer LIVE! is opening in the West End and Blackpool in Summer 2012 prior to a major national tour next year.

Firstly, what is Dora The Explorer Live?

Everyone’s favourite explorer is embarking on a LIVE musical adventure across the UK! In Nickelodeon’s Dora the Explorer LIVE! ‘Search for the City of Lost Toys’ is the name of the show and Dora has lost her teddy bear Osito, so the search is on to retrieve him!

With the help of the audience, Map, Backpack, Boots, Diego and their courageous friends, Dora uses her map-reading, counting, musical and language skills to successfully pass through the number pyramid and the mixed-up jungle to reach the City of Lost Toys.

But watch out – you never know what that sneaky fox Swiper might be up to along the way!

Dora the Explorer fans will delight in this two act, song and dance spectacular that invites them to think, sing and play along.

The musical will be taking to two stages in the UK:

Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Globe Theatre
Dates – 10 August to 20 August
