New Brunswick's State Theatre presents the Central Jersey exclusive of the national tour Go, Diego, Go Live! The Great Jaguar Rescue for 5 performances on Fri, January 25 at 3pm & 6pm; and Sat, January 26 at 11am, 2pm, and 5pm. Go, Diego, Go Live! is sponsored nation-wide by State Farm. Ticket prices range from $20-40 (groups of 12 or more can receive discounts of $3 off most tickets).
The live-action stage show, Go, Diego, Go Live!, follows Diego, his sister Alicia and cousin Dora on an action-packed, special mission to get Baby Jaguar's growl back from the Bobos. Every child in the audience gets a jaguar mask to help on the interactive adventure to rescue animals, navigate through the rainforest and pass a giant waterfall to get to the Animal Carnivale. Featuring the familiar songs and characters from the award-winning Nick Jr. television show that fans have come to love, this live-action theatrical will take preschoolers on a high-stakes journey inspired by the rich environments of Latin America and by the animals that make their homes in those habitats.
Jesse Carrion has been cast in the lead role of kids' favorite adventurer, Diego. Carrion earned his B.A. in Acting from the UCLA Theater and Film Department. His most recent acting credits include the 2007 national touring production of RENT and the original play The Lockdown Club at the Stella Adler Theater in Los Angeles.
Go, Diego, Go Live! The Great Jaguar Rescue comes on the heels of Nickelodeon Recreation and Live Nation's most recent project, Dora the Explorer Live!, which sold close to three million tickets during its domestic run and was the highest grossing project to-date for the Nickelodeon/Live Nation partnership. Dora the Explorer Live! first debuted at Radio City Music Hall in 2003 to sold-out audiences and broke box office records for a live family show run. Based on the hit Nick Jr. series, Dora the Explorer, the show experienced continued success at Radio City through 2006, recently wrapped its third touring season, and made its debut in Europe in August 2006.
In fall 2005, Nick Jr. spun off Dora the Explorer's wildly popular cousin Diego into his own action-adventure series with the animated preschool show Go, Diego, Go! Currently in its second season, the series airs at 9:30am and 12:30pm. (ET/PT) weekdays on Nick Jr. In each episode, Diego receives a call for help at his Animal Rescue Center in the rainforest. With help from his friends, high-tech gadgets and viewers at home, Diego identifies and locates the animal in trouble and the adventure begins. Diego is joined by his 11-year-old sister Alicia, a computer whiz who is also bilingual, and Baby Jaguar, the animal closest to Diego's heart. The animals on Go, Diego, Go! are indigenous to Latin America and are seen in their authentic habitat, with featured animals including the chinchilla, sloth and condor. Every animal on the series is researched and its traits authenticated by science education consultant Mario Castellanos, Project Director of Science Outreach for the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. -- www.statetheatrenj.org
