DINOSAUR WORLD LIVE ROARS INTO THEATRES WITH A MAJOR UK TOUR
AND A SUMMER SEASON AT REGENT’S PARK OPEN AIR THEATRE, LONDON
NEW 2018 CAST ANNOUNCED
UK Tour: 30 March – 11 Aug 2018
Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London: 14 Aug – 9 Sep 2018
DINOSAUR WORLD LIVE brings dinosaurs to life on stage in an interactive show for all the family (ages 3+). Following a hugely successful UK tour last year, DINOSAUR WORLD LIVE returns due to popular demand, now featuring a brand new Triceratops. The 2018 UK tour opens on 30 March at The Broadway, Peterborough, visiting a further 30 venues nationwide, followed by a 4-week summer season at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in London (14 August – 9 September 2018). The 2018 cast includes: Elizabeth Mary Williams (Miranda), Alexandra Harman (Understudy Miranda/ Puppeteer), Darcy Collins (Puppeteer), Liam Wright (Puppeteer), Samantha Arends (Puppeteer), Chris Milford (Puppet Technician/Puppeteer).
Using stunning puppetry to bring remarkably life-like dinosaurs to the stage, DINOSAUR WORLD LIVE presents a host of impressive pre-historic creatures including every child’s favourite flesh-eating giant, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, along with a Giraffatitan, Microraptor, Segnosaurus and Triceratops. The show introduces Miranda, daughter of palaeontologists, who grew up surrounded by dinosaurs on a far-away island off the coast of South America. She has brought her pre-historic pals to your local theatre and would love you to meet them. Warning: some of these dinosaurs aren’t as docile as they seem!
If looking for fun things to do with the kids, DINOSAUR WORLD LIVE delivers an entertaining and educational live show that promises to delight the whole family. Each performance is followed by a post-show meet and greet where audience members have the opportunity to meet some of the dinosaurs in person.
Dino-lovers are urged to book fast before tickets become extinct!
