As long as children dream BIG
dreams, dinosaurs will be part of their fantasy lives.
Combining a child’s fascination for dinosaurs with giant
dinosaur puppets and catchy dinosaur tunes is what DinoRock
Productions loves to do. Dinosaurs Forever! is a dinosaur
musical revue.
The puppet characters perform for and with the children:
Hand puppet Danny
Diplodocus, hatches out of his egg onstage.
Stella Stegosaurus, a
body puppet 6 feet high and 10 feet long, is the
Gracie Allen of the Jurassic Period.
Dinah Diplodocus, a 14’
tall long neck, will teach everyone to do the
Sauropod Swing.
Donna the Pteranodon, a
rod puppet with a 12’ wing span, will want us all to
fly.
Who wants to see a
dinosaur show without a T.rex in it? No one. So Big Bad
Baby Rex (still in his egg) will make a real pest of
himself, wanting to be fed.
The Hadrosaur from
Hackensack, all decked out in a leather jacket will
demonstrate real dinosaur rock.
And Tootsie the tap
dancing Triceratops will shuffle off to Buffalo dinosaur
style.
Come sing along, stomp
around and giggle often with the dinosaurs of DinoRock
Productions as we cheer Dinosaurs Forever!
Award winning songs, lovable characters, audience
participation, all the hallmarks of DinoRock
Productions, Inc. a nationally recognized children’s
theatre company, come together in the fossil fantasy
musical revue Dinosaurs Forever!, featuring beautiful
hand, rod and body puppets who sing and dance onstage
and out in the audience. Original Grammy® nominated
songs invite the children to join in and celebrate
nature’s own monsters, Dinosaurs!.
“Hey DinoRockers, Just a note
to say we can’t wait to have you back. I have never seen
elementary students so rapt with attention, especially in
our 1,800 seat arena house. Teachers and students alike
emerged from the theatre smiling, laughing, thrilled with
new knowledge, and significantly, asking to return.” —David
Zoffoli, Producing Director for Young Audiences, North Shore
Music Theatre, Beverly, MA.
