Get ready preschoolers, popular characters from four Nickelodeon shows will be live on stage Tuesday at the Bryce Jordan Center.

“This is the fourth time we’ve had Nickelodeon in our building, but this is the first time we’ve had all of their characters on stage at once,” Bernie Punt, director of sales and marketing at the BJC, said.

The tour opened two weeks ago, and pa­trons will be among the first to experience four musical adventures from “Dora the Explorer,” “The Backyardigans,” “Wonder Pets” and “Ni-Hao, Kai-lan,” he said.

Peej Mele, originally from Hopewell Junction, N.Y., is Moose A. Moose, one of the masters of ceremonies during the show. He, and his best friend and sidekick Zee, a bird, introduce each segment, a role they also serve on the TV network.

“I think it’s really neat in that we’re bringing everything together,” Mele, 22, who majored in theater arts and Japanese studies at Gettysburg College, said.
