“T-RIFFIC” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Small House Big Trips little ones have spoken. They vote Dinosaur World Live a full FIVE stars and want to go and see it again.
Dinosaur World Live graced the stage of Warwick Arts Centre at the weekend and we headed along to see what we thought, before the dinosaurs stomp onto the Birmingham Hippodrome stage on 25th and 26th March 2023 – Book Tickets Here.
If you have a young dinosaur fan, they will absolutely love being taken to experience this live, interactive show that even has a dinosaur meet and greet at the end – organised in such a brilliant way that everyone gets a chance to stroke and meet the dinosaur without much waiting around (perfect when you have little ones as they’re not the biggest fans of waiting).
The show follows a loose plot line following Miranda (Selin Balcooğiu), an intrepid explorer who introduces the audience to a pre-historic world of astonishing (and remarkably life-like) dinosaurs. With each new dinosaur gracing the stage, comes the opportunity for a young audience member to have the chance to get up on stage too. Seeing so many children sat nicely, with their arms up in the air, eager to get on the stage, demonstrated how loved the show was by all of the children.
The roars of delight as the Tyrannosaurus Rex entered the stage was a sound I wish I had captured. Absolute amazement. The sounds of ‘aww’ when the baby Triceratops was sleeping and the smiles from my eldest as the grown-up Triceratops entered the stage – magical. We even got to see and hear about a Giraffatitan, Microraptor, and Segnosaurus too!
The puppeteers (Rhea Locker-Marsh, Sharon Sze, William Uden, Nicholas Halliwell and Ross Lennon) were fabulous during the show. You almost forgot that they were there, moving the dinosaurs and making impressive sound affects.
Derek Bond has written and directed a spectacular show for children that will be loved for many years to come. A show that’s not just fun but educational, too.
All helped by the phenomenal puppets created by Max Humphries. Mechanical masterpieces with realism within their movement. Children may just come out of the show feeling that dinosaurs are not really extinct.
A must-see production and I reckon if you purchase tickets to take the little ones, you’ll have them ‘Raptor’ round your little finger for days after.
They also have a merchandise stand for any Dino treats.
