Jurassic World Live Tour sits between the first Jurassic World film and
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom and we started by looking at what could be
happening on the other side of Isla Nublar
alongside the events that brought down the Jurassic World park. I think from the
offset we wanted to create an immersive experience for all members of the
family and something where our audience could feel like they were
really part of it and part of the worlds that everyone around the world knows and
loves so much and we wanted to take our audience on a journey that was part of
the canon of Jurassic World so when they came they saw all the familiar dinosaurs
and all the familiar story beats that you would in one of the films but we're
bringing into a live scenario which is completely different and really exciting
for any audience. Our story is completely separate to any other films I think some
of the fans were worried that we were going to just be recreating what the
movies do but the reality is we've managed to give them a new angle on the
island and it's something that as a franchise that they've been waiting to
hear about what else was happening on the island at that point so the fact
that we're filling in some of those gaps for them is just seem to really excite
all of them. We were telling them yes one of the most important things for at
the start of this whole process has been authenticity and working with the
filmmakers with NBC Universal, with Steven Spielberg
Colin Trevorrow, that's really been at the heart of everything that we've done and
we've done extensive research we've really like got done with fine detail of
the brand. We worked out what makes a Jurassic World's show and so hopefully
the fans are appreciate that and you know go with us on that journey. We get
to meet a new dinosaur called Jeanie who's a Troodon, the most intelligent
dinosaur to ever have lived and we bring a whole new host of human characters led
by Dr. Kate Walker who's investigating emotional behavior of dinosaurs and we
use a Dino Decoder as our primary tool to find out what is going on inside
Jeanie's head - And it's Jeanie's intelligence that is really at the heart
of our story. Throughout the show we get an iconic moments, you know we have our
T-Rex, we have Blue as our iconic dinosaur as well as all the others
and we even have our own Gyrosphere which is the first to have been ever created in a live
environment. Then we also get the Jeep and when that Jeep comes out for
the first time with Dr. Kate Walker screeching into the scene it's such a
moment and the headlights blaring, you just can't help but fall in love a bit
again. One of our most exciting moments for me is if they're seen with some with
our Raptors and they all have cameras on their heads and that's live
streamed onto screens on our stage which our characters reference so you
literally are part of the show and all their faces live streaming onto
our stage which I think for an audience is going to be really filling. The thing about
doing this show is that you need an equal amount of experience in both live
entertainment but also working with technology and that's the big thing you
know we are pushing boundaries in the way we've made these dinosaurs and our
animatronics are what we believe to be the best on the market our goal would be
to make the audience go on a journey with us where they actually forget that
none of this is actually real in front of them and that you know shouldn't be
thinking about the technology we just know that it's an undercurrent that's
giving us the ability to take on this amazing and journey for the next hour and a
half. We're constantly trying to break down that third wall and the barrier
that sits around a traditional audience you know no longer do we want it to be
the audience are behind safely kept in their seats and we're onstage doing our
thing we have moments where our performers run down the aisles and we
almost imagine that our audience are in an arena on the day of Jurassic
World as it falls and hopefully that will be an exciting and thrilling
experience for them similarly we have the Dino Decoder that breaks down that
wall and will bring them the emotional context to the story out to our audience
and then we also have seats built into the berm of our show so if you're
lucky enough to be seated one of those seats, you're actually sat on the floor
with our performers and there are definite moments where both the human
characters and our dinosaur characters coming into interact with you
and again it just means that if we can translate to those individuals on the
front row it will all ripple through and it'll become an experience throughout
the whole arena. If you love the films and you enjoy watching the films you'll
definitely be enjoying this show. We want to make it a family and same and peace
and therefore every member in the family should be able to come and enjoy and
find some value in our show.
