The Hollywood Special FX Show brings a team of professionals who've been behind the effects on productions including The Dark Knight Rises, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Phantom Of The Opera and Game Of Thrones for a revealing insight into the world of special effects. The audience will feel the heat from an onstage inferno, marvel at gruesome sci-fi monsters, be blown away by apocalyptic weather and will need to hold on tight through huge explosions!

The end of the first act features a life-size T-Rex skeleton that appears on stage and looms over the front rows of the audience. This terrifying animatronic was custom built for the show by specialists in Japan. The debris cannon featured in the finale of the show is capable of firing a projectile over a ¼ of a mile.

Their resident make-up artist has worked on films including Guardians Of The Galaxy, Batman: The Dark Knight Rises and tv phenomenon Game Of Thrones. The special effects designers for the show have worked with performers including Lady Gaga, Calvin Harris, Steve Angello and Adele.
