The adventure continues! Koba Entertainment’s smash hit Quest for the Extra Ordinary Aliens is an out-of-this-world theatrical production that will lead families on a heroic quest through the whimsical escapades of The Backyardigans live at the North Peace Cultural Centre.
The Backyardigans gang – Pablo the penguin, Tyrone the moose, Uniqua the purplespotted creature, Tasha the hippo, and Austin the kangaroo – are five high-spirited preschool friends whose zany imaginations are whisking them on yet another epic adventure!
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 its missing passengers – the cookie-crumbing Aliens! Tag along with the gang and their extraordinary host as they travel to shivering Frozen Toes Mountain, the blistering Hot Footsy Desert, and the volcanic Lost Pirate Island – singing and dancing the whole way!
The Backyardigans’ Quest for the Extra Ordinary Aliens is a finger-snapping, toetapping, mind-boggling adventure that will have the whole family dancing on the edge of their seats.
The theatrical production is based on the top rated preschool television program The Backyardigans, airing on Treehouse TV in Canada and Nick Jr. in the US.
