THE HOLLYWOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS SHOW
RETURNS – BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER
TOURING 3 JUNE UNTIL 15 AUGUST 2016
A DANGEROUSLY EXPLOSIVE FAMILY TREAT!
The Hollywood Special Effects Show, the interactive science and special effects family show, is back! Bigger and better than ever, the dangerously explosive school holiday treat will tour from 3 June until 15 August 2016.
2016 tour venues include The Lowry, Salford (3-4 June), Grand Theatre, Swansea (26-27 July), Baths Hall, Scunthorpe (30-31 July), Artrix, Bromsgrove (2-3 August), The Hawth, Crawley (5 August), Rose Theatre, Kingston (6-7 August), Theatre Royal, Windsor (8-10 August), Charter Theatre, Preston (12 August), Opera House, Buxton (14 August) and Churchill Theatre, Bromley (15 August). For further details of all tour dates visit www.hollywoodspecialeffects.co.uk
Audiences will be able to get closer to the action than ever before as this interactive and explosive family show goes behind the scenes of many favourite blockbusters films to discover the science and secrets of creating movie magic. Live on stage, the show’s team will give a revealing insight into the world of special effects, taking families on an exciting journey as they feel the heat of an onstage inferno, marvel at gruesome sci-fi monsters, are blown away by apocalyptic weather and hold on tight through huge explosions!
The Hollywood Special Effects Show uses more pyrotechnics than any other UK touring theatre show, and for some sequences, the audience is protected by bullet proof glass placed across the stage. The animatronic dinosaur that appears in the show was built by specialists in Japan, and the large air cannon used in the finale of the show is capable of firing a projectile over a whopping 500 metres.
The show was selected as one of two productions to appear at the 2016 Big Bang Fair, the largest science fair in the UK, which was visited by over 70,000 people in four days.
