From the Dispatch-Argus-QCOnline.com:

The doggone chase is on for 'Paw Patrol Live!' actor

MOLINE — The first production Danard Daniels acted in was in Miami, at elementary school when he was 8, playing the sun. The 24-year-old Norfolk, Va., native continues to spread warmth to audiences nationwide.

The peppy professional actor/dancer/singer/puppeteer plays Chase — the police pup — in the touring production of PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure,” which bounds into Moline’s TaxSlayer Center next weekend, Jan. 26 and 27.

In Nickelodeon and VStar Entertainment Group’s action-packed, music-filled show, the heroic pups from the top-rated animated preschool series (on Nick. Jr.), produced by Spin Master Entertainment, embark on a pirate-themed adventure to uncover hidden treasure.

“Kids love Paw Patrol because it conveys that no job is too big and no pup too small,” Danard said in a recent telephone interview. “It shows social skills and the importance of teamwork. The characters are relatable, enjoyable. They replicate today’s heroes, like firefighters and police officers.”

Chase is the police pup, and the oldest of all the pups, and each actor operates the large puppet for his or her character. “He has leader qualities, but is still a puppy, can be very goofy,” Danard said. His catch phrase is “Chase is on the case,” he noted.

In PAW Patrol Live!, Mayor Goodway is getting everything shipshape for a big Pirate Day celebration in Adventure Bay. When Cap’n Turbot falls into a dark and mysterious cavern, it’s PAW Patrol to the rescue, according to a show summary, noting Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky and Zuma save Cap’n Turbot.

They discover a secret pirate treasure map that leads them on an epic adventure. The pups need “all paws on deck” for this pirate adventure, including help from the newest pup who’s all ears. ... Tracker, the synopsis says. “Using their heroic rescue skills, problem solving and teamwork, the pups set sail to save the day.”

“Our show is based on a form of theater in Japan, a form of puppetry,” Danard said. “I’m standing straight up, the puppet is on all fours, and we are acting and singing and dancing with the puppet. It is a challenge; it’s a different style of puppetry than I’ve ever done. This was very challenging. I really do love it.”

He started acting when he was 8 in Miami but stopped when he moved back to Virginia. In Norfolk, Danard was 17 when he started musical theater, training under a community-theater group called the Hurrah Players. His first show there was “Wizard of Oz,” and his first professional job was when he was 19 with Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s “Sesame Street,” in Virginia.

Danard ended up performing on the “Sesame Street Live” tour in 2016-17. “I loved to see the kids’ faces; they’re really into it. You can see expressions of children, see them dancing.

Other performances includes “Deck the Halls” (Busch Gardens Williamsburg), “Drew & Stiles’ Peter Pan” (Virginia Musical Theatre Company), “Gypsy” (VMT), “Mamma Mia” (VMT), and “Disney’s The Little Mermaid” (VMT)

Danard is thrilled to be a part of PAW Patrol Live! because he loves Nickelodeon and always wanted to be a Nick “kid.”

“My nephew and little cousin were obsessed with Paw Patrol Live,” he said of the preschoolers. “When we went on tour with Sesame Street, we saw kids walking in with Paw Patrol clothes.”

On the series, all the animals have special skills, gadgets and vehicles that help them on their rescue missions. The current tour started in October in Portland, Maine, and will run into June, ending in Anchorage, Alaska, Danard said.

What does he like best about the tour? “Being able to travel to places I’ve never been to, don’t have the chance to go to, and to see these kids yell out the characters’ names,” Danard said. “These kids really know. Every now and then, we get videos from our fans, show how the children react. It’s great.”

PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure” includes an intermission, and incorporates an innovative costume approach to help bring the pups to life on stage. The performance is interactive, encouraging audiences to learn pirate catchphrases, dance the pirate boogie and help the pups follow the treasure map and solve picture puzzles during their mission.

From Fairfax County Times:

Can advanced costumes enhance emotions?

PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the Rescue,” a musical adventure for preschoolers, uses an innovative costuming approach, Bunraku puppetry, to make the pups on stage look exactly as they are on Nickelodeon’s top-rated television show, “PAW Patrol.” But can technology enhance emotions?

The live show is coming to Fairfax’s EagleBank Arena from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2. We spoke with actor Pen Chance about the show’s costuming approach: “Every single costume is made a little bit differently. Just kind of like the pups are. They are different species of pups on the television show and so each costume is tailored just a little bit differently to them. For instance, Sky, since she's the Cockapoo, her costume might be just a little bit lighter in weight, and then Rebel, the bulldog, his might be a little bit heavier. But it takes a lot of training and many weeks of sweat and not necessarily skipping a workout because you go to work and that's your workout, just trying to get the controls of these puppets down because it's very intricate. It's very unique. But, I believe that it comes across very well. So, all the work our actors put in, you can really see it on stage.

How is this innovative costuming approach make a difference for the actors?

Chance: Well, literally because of our costume department's dedication, they look exactly like the cartoon characters. It just takes a different level of skill to be able to operate it. For instance, the front paws of the pups — those are our human legs. Then we're trying to get the timing right with the hands, so the pups’ mouths can match what we're saying and it looks really unique, and there are small things that our company has learned that can make the biggest difference. Like, if you are bending your knees, that might just look like a human is squatting, but it's going to look like the pup is looking up. Or if you tilt your head one way a little bit to the right or left, it's going to mean something like a different tactic entirely for these characters.

Can actors still connect to their feelings while they are surrounded by all this advanced and overwhelming technology?

Chance: Absolutely, because I mean, as long as I've been acting, you go into the rehearsal process, and it's fine. You can tap into what you think the character is going to be like. But when you finally get into costume, no matter what that costume is, that's the final piece. For me, whenever I've put a costume on, I'm like, OK, I now get this character. I've been studying it for so long in rehearsals, but now that I have the costume, it's the final piece of the puzzle. And it's the same deal with PAW Patrol Live! Our costumes are just extensions of our characters and it really does help bring that energy to life.


Pen Chance of PAW Patrol Live!: “If we can get at least one child asking, ‘How did we do that? ‘How did we make all this happen?’ and it gets the wheels in their brain turning, thinking about maybe getting involved in the arts and having a bigger role in it in their community, that's a successful day at work for me.”

PHOTO COUTESY OF VSTAR ENTERTAINMENT

Chance, who worked as a teacher and an actor before joining PAW Patrol Live!, never expected a career in children’s theater. He has been on tour for almost two years and loves every minute of it: “I will always remember one of my first times going to the theater; I was watching ‘Wizard of Oz.’ I was there with my school, and we got to sit in the front row. There was a part of the show where Dorothy, Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion had to run out into the audience, and the lion ran right in front of me, in the front row. I remember his tail; it kind of hit me a little bit. It bumped into my leg … I was thinking about his tail, like ‘Wow, I actually felt the tail, and it was heavier than I thought it might be. I wonder what else is going on up there on stage, and maybe backstage, that I don't know about.’ And that started my interest and my intrigue. And I would go to my sister's dance classes and eventually I said that I wanted to get more involved, and that was over 20 years ago, and I still remember that moment vividly,” said Chance. “So, what I try to do every time we go out on stage is maybe recreate that moment for someone else. And we have so many opportunities: every single show, hundreds upon thousands, depending on how many kids there are that day. I like to say, if we can get at least one child asking, ‘How did we do that? How did we make all this happen?’ and it gets the wheels in their brain turning, thinking about maybe getting involved in the arts and having a bigger role in it in their community, that's a successful day at work for me.”

From WIVT - NewsChannel 34:

Paw Patrol Live comes to Binghamton

BINGHAMTON, NY – Fans of a popular children’s television series are flocking to the Arena to see their favorite pups come to life.

Paw Patrol Live! is taking place tonight and tomorrow at the Floyd Maines Veterans Memorial Arena.

Based on the Nickelodeon series, the live action show features popular characters like Marshall, Chase, Skye, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma and Everest participating in a race between Adventure Bay and Foggy Bottom.

Spokesman Pen Chance says it’s Paw Patrol pandemonium.

“This is a rock concert for pre-schoolers. They’re here seeing their celebrities in person for the first time ever. My favorite part of the show is whenever Ryder and the pups come onto the stage for the first time, there’s this wall of sound that is just energy. And the kids screaming, so excited to see their pups in person for the first time and it’s just a lot of fun,” said Chance.

Chance and Ryder took a moment this morning to try to teach me the “Pup Pup Boogie.”

Showtimes tomorrow are at 2 and 6 PM.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster or at the Arena Box Office.

You can watch and laugh at my entire Pup Pup Boogie dance lesson here.
