The prehistoric world is set to invade the capital once again as the Olivier Award-winning Dinosaur World Live returns to London for a strictly limited summer season. Back by popular demand, the interactive smash-hit will take up residency at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre from Tuesday, 28 July through to Sunday, 6 September 2026.
This summer run marks a triumphant return for a production that has become a global sensation. Since its debut, the show has captivated audiences across the United States, China, Australia, and Ireland. Following highly successful previous seasons at Regent’s Park Open-Air Theatre and its initial run at Wembley Park, the production continues to prove that our fascination with the "terrible lizards" is far from extinct.
Written and directed by Derek Bond, the show utilizes world-class puppetry to bring remarkably life-like creatures to the stage. The creative team features a "who’s who" of theatrical talent, including puppet designer Max Humphries (Cirque du Soleil) and puppetry consultant Toby Olié, known for his work on the National Theatre’s War Horse.
The 50-minute educational adventure introduces a stunning line-up of dinosaurs, including the massive Giraffatitan, the fan-favorite Triceratops, and, of course, the legendary flesh-eating giant, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. For brave young explorers, the experience doesn't end when the curtain falls; each performance is followed by a 15-minute post-show meet and greet, offering a rare opportunity to get up close with the dinosaurs.
Designed for ages three and up, the show provides the perfect summer activity for families looking to combine entertainment with education. In an effort to keep theatre accessible, all seats for the first four preview performances are priced at just £10.
The cast features a dedicated ensemble of puppeteers and performers, including Lizzie Burder, Nat Speight, and William Chaplin Stephens. Tickets are on sale now, and dino-lovers are encouraged to book early via dinosaurworldlive.com before these coveted seats become truly extinct.
