Peppa Pig headed to Durham for live show

Peppa Pig, the star of the popular Nick Jr. show, is making a stop in Durham this spring. Tickets go on sale to the general public at noon, Saturday.

Peppa Pig's Big Splash is the first-ever U.S. theatrical tour for the character. It was extended based on popular demand to an additional 65 cities across the country. It stops at the Durham Performing Arts Center on April 7. The live show, featuring big puppets, will include singing, dancing and, perhaps Peppa's signature move, jumping in muddy puddles.

Here's a description of the show courtesy of DPAC: "In Peppa Pig’s Big Splash, the nursery roof is leaking and Peppa and her friends need to fix it quickly. They set up a fair to raise money so Mr. Bull can do the repairs. There’s plenty of fun to be had as Peppa, George, Mummy and Daddy Pig, along with Danny Dog, Pedro Pony and Suzy Sheep work together to organize an exciting day out complete with a Champion Puddle Jumping competition judged by Mr. Potato, where everyone gets wet!"
