It's the day of the Great Adventure Bay Race between Adventure Bay’s Mayor Goodway and Foggy Bottom’s Mayor Humdinger, but Mayor Goodway is nowhere to be found. PAW Patrol to the rescue! Ryder summons Marshall, Chase, Skye, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma and Everest to rescue Mayor Goodway and to run the race in her place. Using their unique skills and teamwork, the pups show that “no job is too big, no pup is too small.” Through a unique storyline and upbeat music, Ryder and his pups share lessons for all ages about citizenship, social skills and problem-solving as they make several heroic rescues on their race to the finish line.

PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the Rescue” provides families with the opportunity to make lifelong memories and is a great introduction to live theater for kids.  To help accommodate young children, the Broadway-style performance includes two acts with a 15-minute intermission. Children and their families are encouraged to engage with the performers through call and response and audience interaction. The pups are brought to life on stage through an innovative costuming approach based on Bunraku puppetry that allows each pup to use their pup pack, drive their rescue vehicles, and work together as a team. Classic theatrical scenery, along with a high-tech video wall, visually transports families to an authentic PAW Patrol environment, including locations from the TV series, like Adventure Bay, The Lookout, Seal Island, Farmer Yumi's farm and Jake's Mountain.

Starting out as two devoted disciples of earlier soul greats, Hall & Oates are soul survivors in their own right. They have also become musical influences on some of today’s popular artists. Hall & Oates have sold more albums than any other duo in music history. From the mid-’70s to the mid-’80s, the duo would score six #1 singles, including “Rich Girl” (also #1 R&B), “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) (also #1 R&B), “Maneater” and “Out of Touch” from their six consecutive multi- platinum albums—’76’s Bigger Than Both of Us, ’80’s Voices, ’81’s Private Eyes, ‘82’s H2O, ‘83’s Rock N Soul, Part I and ‘84’s Big Bam Boom. The era would also produce an additional five Top 10 singles, “Sara Smile,” “One on One,” “You Make My Dreams,” “Say It Isn’t So” and “Method of Modern Love.” 

Hall also wrote the Hall & Oates single "Everytime You Go Away," which singer Paul Young scored a number-one hit with a cover of the song in 1985. 
That same year, Hall & Oates, participated in the historic “We Are the World” session, as well as closing the Live Aid show in Philadelphia. 
By 1987, the R.I.A.A. recognized Hall & Oates as the no. 1 selling duo in music history, a record they still hold today.
