DINOSAURS are once again roaming international soil with the globally-acclaimed production, Walking With Dinosaurs - The Arena Spectacular, at Arena Birmingham.
Based on the award-winning BBC Television Series, the show lets a new generation experience these life–size beasts in an awe-inspiring spectacle, starring Michaela Strachan as ‘Huxley’ the paleontologist.
Watched by more than nine million people in more than 250 cities around the world, Walking With Dinosaurs, opened its new world tour in Newcastle, UK on July 20 before embarking on an international tour, taking over arenas across Europe.
The show features new, state of the art technology, and spectacular and colourful dinosaurs based on the latest scientific research including the likely feathering of some species.
The one-hour, 40-minute show, depicts the dinosaurs’ evolution, showing how carnivorous dinosaurs evolved to walk on two legs, and how the herbivores fended off their more agile predators.
Nine species are represented from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Torosaurus, Utahraptor.
The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus, is 11 metres tall and 17 metres from nose to tail.
The show, which opened yesterday, is on today (Friday, July 27) and tomorrow.
