Back by popular demand, DINOSAUR ZOO returns to London this summer with its impressive cast of prehistoric creatures, now introducing one of the most ferocious predators to ever walk the earth, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, live on stage. Offering great days out for the kids, DINOSAUR ZOO opens on Saturday 18th July, playing for a 6-week season until Sunday 30th August 2015 at the King's Cross Theatre, where the production of The Railway Children continues to play. Tickets for DINOSAUR ZOO are now on sale.

DINOSAUR ZOO creators 'Erth' use ingenious puppetry to bring dinosaurs to life in an interactive and imaginative live show, suitable for all the family (ages 3+). Audiences are introduced to a range of creatures from cute baby dinos to teeth-gnashing giants. During the show, intrepid audience members brave enough to get up close and personal with the dinosaurs are invited on stage to assist the Zoo Keeper - but be warned - not all of these ravenous reptiles are as tame as they seem! Each performance concludes with a post-show 'meat & greet' session offering every audience member a chance to meet the dinosaurs in person.

Fast-becoming a worldwide hit, DINOSAUR ZOO has played to audiences across the globe, from Australia to Los Angeles, from New York City to Bahrain and across Europe, delighting children and parents with its perfect mix of adventurous daring, informative learning and entertaining fun. DINOSAUR ZOO first roared into the UK in 2013, enjoying a hugely successful season at Regent's Park Open-Air Theatre, London followed by a 22-venue UK tour. The show then transferred to the West End for a 7-week Christmas season at the Phoenix Theatre. Since then it has continued to tour across the UK including a season at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last summer at the Pleasance Grand.

Australian based Erth create original live theatre at the forefront of new performance practice, inspiring audiences with their unique and dynamic vision. Since its beginnings in 1990, the company has strived to provide audiences with eye-popping visual experiences incorporating, amongst other disciplines, giant puppetry and inflatable environments. Erth has performed internationally at events and festivals including the Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in 2000.

DINOSAUR ZOO is directed by Scott Wright, designed by Steve Howarth and performed by Shaun Morton, Jeremy Hancock, Rhys Jennings and Renee Bourke. DINOSAUR ZOO is presented in the UK by BOS Productions Ltd and Nick Brooke Ltd.
