[PRESS CALL] Sneak Peek of the Life-Sized Baby T-Rex from WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – THE LIVE EXPERIENCE at the Capitol Theatre

65 million years ago, they ruled the planet and now they are back! 


From 29 August to 8 September, 18 life sized dinosaurs will be taking over the Singapore Indoor Stadium in the globally-acclaimed production Walking With Dinosaurs - The Live Experience. Based on the award-winning BBC Television Series watched by more than 9 million people in more than 250 cities around the world, this must-see live production seek to captivate audiences of all ages.


Walking With Dinosaurs has embarked on an international tour ever since its opening in the UK back in July 2018 and now they are roaming into Asia with a stopover in Singapore. This $20 million production features updated, state of the art technology and proves to be the biggest and best dinosaur show in the world.


During the press call held at the Capitol Theatre, my friends and I got the chance to get up close and personal with a life-sized Baby T-Rex together with Ian Waller, the resident director and puppeteer Neal Holmes. This Baby T-Rex was not so friendly as it roared and roamed around on the stage and even scaring the audiences who were seated in front.


Surprisingly, this Baby T-Rex was only controlled by one puppeteer who did all the movements that included the blinking of the eyes. It was so real that some of the younger audience didn't dare to take photos with it. Beneath my wide smile hid my little nervousness as to whether the Baby T-Rex would roar at me, fortunately it didn't. I planned to bring my girl with me to the opening show although I am not so sure whether she will be frightened by the giant dinosaurs or not. I guess I will just have to keep telling her that these are like those giant mascot with humans inside.


Audiences can expect the 1 hour and 40 minutes show to depicts the dinosaurs' evolution with cinematic realism. Based on the latest scientific research, they have even found out that Dinosaurs actually has feathers and have included the feathering too. There will also be scenes showing the interactions between dinosaurs, how carnivorous dinosaurs evolved to walk on two legs and how the herbivores fended off their predators.


"Sliding Doors Entertainment in partnership with UnUsUal Entertainment are thrilled to bring to families in Singapore a superb entertainment experience they can't find anywhere else. Dinosaurs have captured the imagination of children for generations and this show takes this passion to a whole new level of unrivalled learning and excitement which will thrill and captivate audiences of all ages. Don't miss this extraordinary live theatrical arena production," said Milan Rokic, CEO of Sliding Doors Entertainment.



  Walking With Dinosaurs - The Live Experience was originally produced in Australia by Gerry Ryan, Malcolm Cooke and Jill Bryant and is brought to the world by Global Creatures. Sliding Doors Entertainment partnered with UnUsUal Entertainment to promote this show in Singapore and after the show in Singapore, they will go on to conquer the rest of the world.


If you want to know what it feels like standing next to the dinosaurs that move, walk and act exactly like the real thing, you will have to grab the tickets now before they become extinct.

Below is the video of a compilation of some photos and short clips taken during the press call.
