Dinosaur World Live

About Dinosaur World Live

Step into a world where prehistoric giants roam the stage and young audiences can come face to face with creatures from millions of years ago. Dinosaur World Live is a spectacular family theatre production playing at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre in London, welcoming children aged three and upwards into an unforgettable live experience. With breathtaking puppet craftsmanship and an immersive story at its heart, this is family theatre that earns its applause.

The show follows Miranda, who as a small child was shipwrecked on a remote island teeming with prehistoric life. Raised among dinosaurs, she grew up speaking their language and earning their trust. Now she brings her remarkable companions to the stage, introducing audiences to a menagerie of creatures with distinct personalities and behaviours. Among them are Beatrice the baby Triceratops, the towering leaf-munching Giraffatitan, and the fearsome Titus the T-Rex. Each animal is a feat of design and performance, and the result is a show that feels genuinely alive from the first moment to the last.

Award-Winning Family Entertainment

Dinosaur World Live claimed the award for Best Family Entertainment in 2024, and it is easy to understand why. The production is built around the idea that younger audiences deserve theatre that fully commits to its world. There is no interval, which keeps the energy and focus exactly where it belongs: on the stage, the story, and the magnificent creatures inhabiting both.

The puppet designs come from Max Humphries, whose work spans some of the most prestigious stages in the country, including the National Theatre and the Royal Opera House. His creatures move with a precision and expressiveness that makes the physical storytelling speak louder than any script. Because so much of the drama is carried through movement and visual spectacle, the show connects naturally with very young children who are still developing their relationship with narrative theatre.

What to Expect at the Show

Dinosaur World Live is not a sit-back-and-watch experience. Miranda invites the audience to become part of the action, calling on children to help feed, groom, and even tame the dinosaurs as the story unfolds. This participatory element gives young theatregoers a genuine stake in the drama, turning a performance into something closer to a shared adventure.

The production builds to a dramatic hatching sequence, complete with rumbling ground effects and the suspense of a new egg at the centre of the story. Each named dinosaur brings its own temperament and set of behaviours, from the armour-plated Triceratops to the commanding T-Rex, ensuring that every member of the audience has a favourite long before the curtain falls.

The Post-Show Meet and Greet

Every ticket to Dinosaur World Live includes a fifteen-minute session on stage after the performance, where children can meet the baby dinosaur puppets up close and explore the artistry behind the puppetry. This is included as standard with your booking and offers a wonderful way to extend the magic of the experience for young visitors who are not quite ready to say goodbye to their new prehistoric friends.
