Hide AdUsing puppetry to bring remarkably life-like dinosaurs to the stage, Dinosuar World Live presents a host of impressive pre-historic creatures including flesh-eating giant, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, along with a Giraffatitan, Microraptor, Segnosaurus and Triceratops.
The show also 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 people here to meet them.
The 2018 cast includes: Elizabeth Mary Williams (Miranda), Alexandra Harman (Understudy Miranda/ Puppeteer), Darcy Collins (Puppeteer), Liam Wright (Puppeteer), Samantha Arends (Puppeteer), Chris Milford (Puppet Technician/Puppeteer).
Each performance is followed by a post-show meet and greet where audience members have the opportunity to meet some of the dinosaurs in person.
