Nickelodeon and Broadway Across America will bring the national touring production of “The Backyardigans Live! Tale of the Mighty Knights” to Memorial Auditorium on Sunday.

Based on the prime-time Nickelodeon special, “Backyardigans Live! Tale of the Mighty Knights” follows backyard friends Uniqua and Tyrone as they become Knights and embark on a quest to protect King Pablo’s unpredictable egg.

Along the way, Grabbing Goblin Austin and Flighty Fairy Tasha join the medieval mayhem as the runaway egg hatches feet and makes an unexpected dash all the way up to Dragon Mountain.

The Backyardigans will need the audience’s help to face a mighty dragon and return the egg to the king.

The show is filled with singing and dancing to songs of courage, friendship and the power of imagination.

The Backyardigans Live! includes some of the same creative team that produces “The Backyardigans” for Nick Jr. television, including Emmy-nominated writer Adam Peltzman and choreographer Beth Bogush. Drama Desk Award-nominated director Lou Jacob directs the production.

Since its debut on Nickelodeon’s preschool weekday lineup, “The Backyardigans” has become the No. 2-rated preschool show on all of commercial TV among the target audience of preschoolers, according to Nielsen Media Research.
