Walking With Dinosaurs Tickets - 65 Million Years In The Making
Take a walk on the wild side
Take a walk on the wild side. "Walking with Dinosaurs" isn't your average theater production. In fact, it boasts an entertainment factor that gets both kids and their parents to attend the theater (Pollstar marks the adventure fifth on the Worldwide Tours chart) and has some pretty dynamic visual effects. If you're thinking of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, you wouldn't be far off. From lifelike monsters storming the stage to battle scenes where a T-Rex is forced to protect her child, scenes are educational and exciting, making Walking with Dinosaurs tickets a must-have.
A prehistoric extravaganza that ranked behind musical acts like U2, AC/DC, Springsteen and Coldplay, the dinosaurs are out in full force during their national tour. These monsters aren't just stomping around the nation, creating screams and scares out of audience members; they are also making a statement. With 'survival of the fittest' as its obvious theme, the zoological spectacle invites audiences to enjoy a wildlife landscape while also learning about evolution.
The lifelike show is based on the BBC Television series and appears in North America thanks to the Creature Production Company. CEO Carmen Pavlovic said, "The BBC Series was a brilliant blend of special efforts, escapism, excitement, and information. Our show has that - and it's live. In this show, 15 roaring, snarling 'live' dinosaurs mesmerize the audience - and are as awe-inspiring as when they first walked on earth." The show doesn't just cater to the front row, either. As the 15 large dinos roam around the stage, panoramic scenery modeled after prehistoric times allows audiences farther back to enjoy the spectacle in its entirety.
The show is directed by Scott Faris (London's "Chicago," "Les Miserables," "Cats," "Grease"), who worked with Sonny Tilders for character design, Peter England for set/image design, John Rayment for lighting, James Brett for score and Warner Brown for the script. The show opened in July 2007 with a North American run of two years and picked up a 2007 THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement in a Touring Event.
The 15 animals running around onstage are created thanks to computers, hydraulics and puppeteers. Coming back to life after 65 million years is a lot to ask, so expect a show of monumental proportions - particularly the Brachiosaurus, which is 36 feet tall and 56 feet from nose to tail. The 90-minute feature "depicts the dinosaurs' evolution, complete with the climatic and tectonic changes that took place, which led to the demise of many species." Though some children are brought to tears, as one New York Times reporter noted when the show came to Madison Square Garden, others are equally intrigued, stunned and confused by the product. Nonetheless, the theatrical extravaganza has brought enough audiences to their feet thanks to the larger-than-expected dino replicas. "Walking with Dinosaurs" will likely roam through the States for a bit longer.
In the making since 1996, just when Jurassic Park revolutionized the way prehistoric animals could be viewed and developed on screen, the BBC commissioned a series of the same sort. Beginning with the production team at BBC, researchers and designers created a historically accurate, three dimensional world for television audiences in the UK. Finally, several years after they began, the six half-hour programs were broadcast on the BBC1. Now, the world in which they filmed for hours on end has returned, this time live on stage.
