WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience comes to Quicken Loans Arena June 25th-29th for only Eight Performances
Please Note: 35mm, digital and disposable cameras will be allowed. No professional, audio and/or video recording devices will be allowed.
Dinosaurs return to the earth in a live theatrical arena show, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience, based on the award-winning BBC Television Series. In WALKING WITH DINOSAURS, fifteen
roaring, snarling "live" dinosaurs mesmerize the audience – and are as awe-inspiring as when they first walked on earth.
This 90-minute show is now on a two-year North American arena tour and will perform 8 performances at The Q June 25th – 29th. Almost 1,000,000 Americans have already seen the production since it
opened in July 2007. Don’t miss this special event that has been 65 million years in the making!
Ten species are represented from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs. The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the terror of the ancient terrain, as well as the Plateosaurus and
Liliensternus from the Triassic period, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the awesome Cretaceous. The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus is
36 feet tall, and 56 feet from nose to tail. It took a team of 50 – including engineers, fabricators, skin makers, artists and painters, and animatronic experts – a year to build the original production. The 15 dinosaurs were originally "hatched" in a Melbourne Docklands workshop big enough to park a 747.
The show depicts the dinosaurs' evolution, complete with the climatic and tectonic changes that took place, which led to the demise of many species. With almost cinematic realism, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS has scenes of the interactions between dinosaurs, and the audience sees how carnivorous dinosaurs evolved to walk on two legs, and how the herbivores fended off their more agile predators.
The history of the world is played out with the splitting of the earth's continents, and the transition from the arid desert of the Triassic period is given over to the lush green prairies and forces of the later Jurassic. Oceans form, volcanoes erupt, a forest catches fire -- all leading to the impact of the massive comet, which struck the earth, and forced the extinction of the dinosaurs.
The New York Times said that dinosaurs are making "a thundering comeback after 65 million years." Newsweek called the show, "that rare entertainment beast that parents and kids can enjoy together." Variety said, "‘Walking With Dinosaurs' is a truly spectacular spectacular. The dinosaurs are stunning, life-size and faultlessly nimble."
WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience has sold out performances and broken records in arenas all over the America. It has been seen in The Today Show, Regis and Kelly, and has been
written about in Newsweek, The New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor and the Wall St. Journal. It is the subject of a Discovery Channel Really Big Things episode and will be a
category on upcoming Jeopardy episodes. The production has won the 2007 THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Touring Event.
WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience is brought to North America by The Creature Production Company, headed by Gerry Ryan. Ryan said, "This is a show that could only fit in arenas – as the
creatures are so absolutely immense in size. Audiences seated in the lower seats are all but overwhelmed by the dinosaurs, while those seated in higher seats can view the entire spectacle and
panorama of the production. It is the closest you’ll ever get to experiencing what it was like when they walked and ruled the earth."
Artistic Director William May developed the creative vision of the show based on an original idea by entrepreneur Bruce Mactaggart to create an arena version of the "Walking with Dinosaurs"
television series. The show is directed by Scott Faris, a Broadway veteran who has worked side by side with Harold Prince, Trevor Nunn, Michael Blakemore, Gene Saks, John Caird, Tommy Tune and
Jerry Zaks. The creatures are designed and built by Sonny Tilders. The set design and projected image design is by Peter England. The lighting is by John Rayment. The score is composed by James
Brett. Warner Brown wrote the script for the show. Tim Haines, creator and producer of the original BBC series, which was seen by a worldwide audience of 700 million, serves as Project Consultant
to WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience.
