REVIEWS

★★★★★ “The set is stunning, using live camera work, beautiful lighting and sound, and incredible puppetry… so detailed and their puppeteers so talented, that even the grown-ups in the audience suspended their disbelief and gazed in awe at these incredible prehistoric creatures.” - The AU Review, Penny Spirou

“A remarkable experience… tickles your senses, ignites your imagination and advances your knowledge with facts about the planet we live on and the ancient inhabitants that once stomped, growled, ate and died upon it.” - Australian Stage, Emily Shaddick

“Instead of the usual loud, high-energy kids’ show, this was calm, creative and totally captivating. The entire audience was entranced…. a clever mix of puppetry, narration and multimedia.” - The Kid Bucket List (Instagram @thekidbucketlist)

★★★★ “A theatre full of children and adults leaning forward in shared wonder feels quietly radical.” - Theatre Now, Kate Gaul

“I just wanted to express how incredible our students' experience was at the performance… Checking in with the classes this morning, they were still buzzing with excitement, sharing stories with their families and recalling fascinating facts they had learned. Jackson and the puppeteers did an outstanding job of engaging and entertaining the students, and the puppets themselves were truly spectacular. The Dino-Rama segment and the creative camera work sparked great conversations among us about how we might use similar techniques for storytelling or presenting information.” - Keira, Teacher (Sydney Opera House season, April 2026)

“Great show for kids during school holidays! It was very engaging, entertaining and educative, with clear dialogue, great props and audience engagement… it was hands down the best show I have taken my kids to.” - Parent/General Public Audience (Sydney Opera House season, April 2026)
