A theatre show with giant life-like dinosaur puppets is coming to The Lowry

The stage at The Lowry theatre will be taken over by gigantic dinosaurs next month when a new children’s theatre show comes to town.

Dinosaur World Live will see life-like dinosaur puppets patrolling around the theatre in Salford.

The interactive show introduces audiences to creatures including the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex, along with a Giraffatitan, Microraptor, Segnosaurus and Triceratops.

Audiences will meet Miranda, a daughter of palaeontologists, who grew up on a far-away island where dinosaurs still roam.

Miranda has now gathered up her pre-historic friends and is bringing them to Salford.

And audience members can get up close and personal after the show with an in-person meet-and-greet.

Dinosaur World Live even comes with a warning – ‘Some of these dinosaurs aren’t as docile as they seem!’
