Tell the kids and countdown the sleeps, Backyardigans are coming to Vanier Hall Jan. 21 at 1 p.m., with tickets going on sale Saturday.
The gang is continuing its Quest for Extra Ordinary Aliens, which finds Pablo the penguin, Tyrone the moose, Uniqua the purple-spotted creature, Tasha the hippo, and Austin the kangaroo on a finger-snapping, toe-tapping adventure thanks to the imaginations of these high-spirited preschool friends.
Quest for the Extra Ordinary Aliens takes the audience on a non-stop musical expedition as The Backyardigans become Daring Detectives, Cookie Security Guards and Space Ace Reporters who travel in hot pursuit of a mysterious space ship and the cookie-crumbing Aliens.
Children are invited to tag along with the gang as they travel to shivering Frozen Toes Mountain, the blistering Hot Footsy Desert and the volcanic Lost Pirate Island.
Produced by Koba Entertainment, Quest for the Extra Ordinary Aliens is set to 21 eclectic songs by The Backyardigans' TV series composer Evan Lurie, directed by Koba's artistic director Patti Caplette and Broadway-style choreography and Beth Kates for scenic and state-of-the-art 3D video design.
The show is based on the top rated preschool television program The Backyardigans on Treehouse TV in Canada and Nick Jr. in the U.S.
Tickets are $24.50. For information visit www.TheBackyardigansOnTour.com.
