SPRINGFIELD Nickelodeon announced that the national touring production of "Go, Diego, Go Live! The Great Jaguar Rescue," presented by State Farm, will come to Springfield on April 10 for two performances (3 and 6 p.m.). Tickets range in price from $19.50 to $37.50 and may be purchased at the CityStage Box Office 788-7033 or on Ticketmaster.com.

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.

"We're excited to continue last year's successful run with the second leg of the 'Go, Diego, Go Live! Tour,'" said Stuart Rosenstein, Senior Vice President, Resorts and Theatricals, Nickelodeon Recreation. "In 2007, more than 600,000 kids and parents attended the live adventure and we look forward to bringing the Diego tour to more than 40 markets across the USA and Canada and providing families with a truly memorable, interactive performance experience."

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.
