Popular childrens show goes live

From the producers of Broadway Across America’s “Go, Diego Go Live! The Great Jaguar Rescue,” “The Backyardigans Live! Tale of the Might Knights” is based on Neilson Media Research’s No. 2-rated preschool show on commercial television Nickelodeon’s “The Backyardigans.”

“Backyardigans Live!” follows backyard friends, Uniqua and Tyrone, as they become knights and embark on a quest to protect King Pablo’s unpredictable egg.

Along the way, Grabbing Goblin Austin and Flighty Fairy Tasha join the medieval mayhem as the runaway egg hatches feet and makes a dash up to Dragon Mountain, all the while encouraging the audience to sing, dance and laugh to songs of courage, friendship and the power of imagination.
