Dora the Explorer comes to Perth for a live show! Join in the Pirate Adventure on 13 and 14 September 2008 at the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre. 3 shows each day.
The full scale live show (80 minutes) leads Dora, our 7 year old Latino heroine, her cousin Diego, Boots the monkey, and all their friends on a fun-filled, swashbuckling, sea-faring adventure. With help from the audience, Dora and her courageous crew use their musical, language, mathematical, and reasoning skills to navigate the harrowing seas, track down the Pirate Piggies, and reclaim their stolen treasure.
The show features wonderful sets and costumes, and exciting musical numbers with all of the characters preschoolers love. Dora fans (and those new to Dora) are sure to enjoy this spectacular and unprecedented family theatrical experience that invites kids to think, sing and play along.
