"Game Shakers" Star Madisyn Shipman Reveals Her Favorite Thing About Being On Nickelodeon

For young kids who grow up watching their heroes on TV, becoming an actor or actress can be a lifelong dream. Madisyn Shipman was able to achieve that dream at only 13 years old.


Now, just a few years later, Shipman is loving her life playing the role of Kenzie Bell on Nickelodeon's hit live-action original comedy series Game Shakers. The show revolves around Shipman's character and her friend Babe who start a multi-million dollar gaming company.

But getting this role wasn't exactly a piece of cake for Shipman, it took a lot of hard work and perseverance, and she ended up auditioning for the role three times before she landed it. After that, she packed up and moved to California.

#YouShouldKnow, a feature that showcases rising talents, had the chance to chat with Shipman about her preparation for her role, what it's like to be on Nickelodeon and more. Check out part one of the interview below!

Produced by Nickelodeon, VStar Entertainment Group and Life Like Touring, PAW Patrol Live! "Race to the Rescue" brings everybody's favorite pups to the stage for an action-packed, high-energy, musical adventure. When Mayor Goodway goes missing during the day of The Great Adventure Bay Race, Ryder, Chase, Marshall, Rocky, Rubble, Zuma, Skye and Everest come to the rescue! The 80-minute production, which includes two acts and an intermission, shows that "no job is too big, no pup is too small," and shares lessons for all ages about citizenship, social skills and problem-solving as the characters each use their unique skills and teamwork.


The performance features up-tempo music and dance, and a brand new cleverly written original script that is a good introduction to live theatre for kids. 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. Special interactive video allows the audience to participate in the adventure via interviews, solve clues and puzzles with the Pups, follow Mayor Goodway, become a part of the PAW Patrol Cheer Team, and much more.

PAW Patrol Live! "Race to the Rescue", the first touring live show starring Ryder and the team of pups, and incorporates an innovative costume approach that brings the pups to life on stage with their vehicles and packs during the all-important rescue mission.

Using Bunraku, puppetry elements are built into costumes worn by performers to create life-size pups that wag their tails, blink their eyes, move their mouths and engage the audience throughout their adventure. The costume design brings a fun, realistic parallel between the animated series and the live show. Each pup's all-important Pup Pack and vehicle also makes an appearance during the show.


PAW Patrol airs on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland's top-performing preschool channels, Nick Jr. and Nick Jr. Too, and on Channel 5′s Milkshake! programming strand, and is one of Nickelodeon's top preschool properties.

Paw Patrol is the UK’s top pre-school property and we know that families have been eagerly awaiting a live show,” said Alison Bakunowich, general manager, Nickelodeon UK & Ireland. “With Race to the Rescue, we are growing the potential of the property; taking it beyond the screen and giving audiences an opportunity to experience and interact with Paw Patrol in a way that hasn’t been available before.”

“Using Bunraku, puppetry elements are built into costumes worn by real actors to create a wonderful combination of life-sized pups and to make a stronger connection with the audience. The Paw Patrol cast sings and dances, which brings a fun, realistic parallel between the animated series and the live show,” said Jim Waters, producer, VStar Entertainment Group.

Fans can sign-up on the official PAW Patrol Live UK site to receive exclusive PAW Patrol Live information about the show and venues, and read about the PAW Patrol Live! characters.
