'The show was that entertaining that all kids sat in incredible obedient silent awe for a near full two hours'
There's nothing that can quite hold young ones in thrall like a load of dinosaurs coming back to life in front of their eyes. Jurassic Live does exactly that with this new show at Manchester Opera House for four shows across this weekend before heading out on a national theatre tour.
I admit the thought of sitting in a sold out theatre show with hundreds of young dinosaur fans on a Saturday had me worried. I thought it would be a proper fidgeting screamathon - but the show was that entertaining that all kids sat in incredible obedient silent awe for a near full two hours. And that alone is priceless in my book.
There was plenty of audience participation too - it was amusing when the rangers came out after kids nominated their "bravest" parent, grandparent or carer to head up on stage. Little did they know their mums and dads would be hilariously turned into giant chickens to be used as bait for the velocripators, and what a clucking good job they all did of it too.
The rangers also headed out with the cute "baby dinosaurs" before and after the show too so young ones could get up close and personal with "real life dinosaurs" as well which my two loved.
