A hilarious and irreverent hour-and-a-bit”
★★★★★ – WhatsOnStage
65 million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth… 30 years ago, a movie about dinosaurs ruled the box office…
A funny, head-spinning Jurassic Park parody”
★★★★ – The Times
This “funny, head-spinning Jurassic Park parody” (The Times) is a must-see “chaotic masterpiece” (Stage to Page) that has won over fans and critics alike. Hold On To Your Butts showcases Foley sound and physical theatre and is “imaginative, slick silliness on an epic scale” (London Theatre 1).
Don’t walk, RUN to get your tickets for “a show that should never go extinct.” (All that Dazzles.)
Perfect for dinosaur fans of all ages.”
★★★★ – West End Best Friend
