Direct from the West End, Dinosaur Zoo is back on tour for the summer holiday season and will bring a tyrannosauric treat to the Epstein Theatre.
With an impressive cast of prehistoric creatures, including one of the most ferocious predators to ever walk the earth, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Dinosaur Zoo comes to Liverpool for the first time ever on Sunday, 4th September.
Dinosaur Zoo creators Erth use ingenious puppetry to bring dinosaurs to life in an interactive and imaginative live show, suitable for all the family (ages 3+).
Audiences are introduced to a range of life-sized creatures from cute baby dinos to teeth-gnashing giants.
During the show, intrepid audience members brave enough to get up close and personal with the dinosaurs, are invited on stage to assist the Zoo Keeper – but be warned – not all of these ravenous reptiles are as tame as they seem!
Each performance concludes with a post-show ‘meet & greet’ session offering every audience member a chance to meet the dinosaurs in person.
Fast-becoming a worldwide hit, Dinosaur Zoo has played to audiences across the globe, from Australia to Los Angeles, from New York City to Bahrain and across Europe, delighting children and parents with the perfect mix of adventurous daring, informative learning and entertaining fun.
Dinosaur Zoo first roared into the UK in 2013, premiering at Regent’s Park Open-Air Theatre, London. Since its debut, the show has played two West End seasons: at the Phoenix Theatre for Christmas 2013, and last summer at King’s Cross Theatre, 2015. It continues to tour nationwide, enjoying sell-out performances across the country. This will be the production’s 7th UK tour.
Australian based Erth create original live theatre at the forefront of new performance practice, inspiring audiences with their unique and dynamic vision. Since its beginnings in 1990, the company has strived to provide audiences with eye-popping visual experiences incorporating, amongst other disciplines, giant puppetry and inflatable environments. Erth has performed internationally at events and festivals including the Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in 2000.
Dinosaur Zoo is directed by Scott Wright, designed by Steve Howarth and performed by Alex Fisher, Charlotte Cooper, Jeremy Hancock, Nathan Marshall and Rafe Young. It is presented in the UK by BOS Productions Ltd and Nick Brooke Ltd.
Theatre manager, Rebekah Pichilingi, said:
“This hilarious, and imaginative live show will appeal to the whole family – it is both educational and entertaining at the same time! The puppeteers are so skilled, they manage to bring the dinos to life in this truly amazing production!”
