Back by popular demand, DINOSAUR WORLD LIVE, winner of the prestigious 2024 Olivier Award for Best Family Entertainment, returns for its third major tour of the United States. The interactive children’s theatre show that brings dinosaurs to life on stage will be visiting Pensacola’s Saenger Theatre on January 27th for a prehistoric, out of this world performance.
Now an international smash hit, following six UK tours including two summer seasons at London’s Regent’s Park Open-Air Theatre (2018 and 2023) and Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre (2019); two major tours of the U.S.A (2022 & 2024), Canada, Ireland, China and Australia, DINOSAUR WORLD LIVE has delighted critics and audiences alike, from all ages 3 and above.
Using stunning puppetry to bring remarkably life-like dinosaurs to the stage, DINOSAUR WORLD LIVEpresents 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. Dino-lovers are urged to book fast before tickets become extinct!
