Walking With Dinosaurs

For 200 million years Dinosaurs ruled the earth.
Now, they’re back to roam the arenas of America in an extraordinary new theatrical production based on the award-winning BBC Television Series.

Dinosaurs return to the earth in a live theatrical arena show, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience, based on the award-winning BBC Television Series. In WALKING WITH DINOSAURS, fifteen roaring, snarling “live” dinosaurs mesmerize the audience – and are as awe-inspiring as when they first walked on earth. Ten species are represented from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs.  The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the terror of the ancient terrain, as well as the Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the awesome Cretaceous.  The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus is 36 feet tall, and 56 feet from nose to tail.  It took a team of 50 – including engineers, fabricators, skin makers, artists and painters, and animatronic experts – a year to build the original production.  The 15 dinosaurs were originally “hatched” in a Melbourne Docklands workshop big enough to park a 747. This 90-minute show is now on a two-year North American arena tour and will perform 8 performances at Toyota Center (April 2 - 6). 1-866-4-HOUTIX or visit www.toyotacentertix.com for tickets.
