Tickets available: Peppa Pig's Surprise returns to DPAC

Peppa Pig will return to the Durham Performing Arts Center this October.

The popular live show, which was the No. 1 box office family tour of 2016, is based on the top-rated TV series, which airs daily on Nick Jr. These shows have sold out across the country - including two performances at DPAC in Durham last year. Right now, there are a good number of tickets left at various prices. Tickets start at $27 plus taxes and fees.

The 2017 show, called Peppa Pig's Surprise, is new and features life-sized puppets. Showtime is 6 p.m., Oct. 10.

Here's a description, courtesy of DPAC's website: "In Peppa Pig’s Surprise, it’s a lovely day and Peppa is playing outside with her friends. Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig have got a surprise for her and her younger brother George, but no matter how hard they try, they cannot guess what it is. Audiences will enjoy interactive fun, games and, of course, many surprises. The live show encompasses the charming, colorful nature of the incredibly popular television series and features brand-new songs and life-size puppets that walk, talk, dance, and jump up and down to give audiences a unique, interactive theatrical experience from the moment the curtain opens."
