HOLLYWOOD Special Effects – the dangerously explosive school holiday treat is coming to Artrix next month with two show-stopping performances.
Bigger and better, audiences will be able to get closer to the action than ever before as this interactive family show goes behind the scenes of many favourite blockbusters to discover the science and secrets of creating movie magic.
Live on stage, the show’s team will give a revealing insight into the world of special effects, taking families on an exciting journey as they feel the heat of an on-stage inferno, marvel at gruesome sci-fi monsters, are blown away by apocalyptic weather and hold on tight through huge explosions.
The show uses more pyrotechnics than any other UK touring theatre show, and for some sequences, the audience has to be protected by bullet proof glass which is placed across the stage.
The animatronic dinosaur that appears in the show was built by specialists in Japan, and the large air cannon used in the finale of the show is capable of firing over a whopping 500 metres.
The show was selected as one of two productions to appear at the 2016 Big Bang Fair, the largest science fair in the UK.
Performances take place on Tuesday (August 2) at 6pm and on Wednesday (August 3) at 7pm.
Tickets cost £12.50, £14 (Danger Zone seats – rows A to C) and £10 each for group bookings of 10+ people.
The show is suitable for those aged six and over.
