How To Train Your Dragon

Live Spectacular

"How to Train Your Dragon" is hands-down my favorite animated 

movie that DreamWorks has released to date. So when I heard that 

a live adaptation was set to go on tour, naturally I was beyond thrilled. 

Thankfully, the show more than lived up to expectations, bringing me 

and my entire family directly into the world of "How to Train Your Dragon"

 and letting us re-live the events of the movie in a whole new way.

 It was incredible!


The "How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular" is an immersive stage

 show making its way across the nation and wowing audiences along 

the way with such wonders as outstanding special effects (including 

stunning uses of fire, smoke, laser and projection), an excellent story

 (it is, after all, based on the great film of the same name), and of course, 

the dragons. 


Crafted by the team that was behind the epic "Walking With Dinosaurs,"

 the dragons of "How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular" are truly

 incredible to behold. Each of the many dragons featured in the show is

 so detailed in appearance and life-like in motion that it's no surprise to

 the audience when they start to engage in typical dragon behavior--

 like spitting fire and taking to the skies!

Though it may have not been a surprise to see such things, it certainly proved 

exciting, as the flying and fire-breathing dragons made for some of the best parts

 of "How to Train Your Dragon Live!" Particularly enthralling was the scene 

where Toothless and Hiccup finally take flight for the first time. As Toothless

 spread his wings and lifted into the air, it felt like the audience was being lifted

 up alongside him, and gliding through the seaside air on that first monumental flight.

 

Also incredibly entertaining were the Dragon Games, where the young vikings
 faced off against a variety of dragons, trying to subdue the creatures sometimes 
against three or four of them at a time! Seeing all of those dragons in the arena
 together at once was quite, well, spectacular!

The single most amazing moment in the entire show was the final face-off against 
the king of the dragons, the "Red Death." Toothless and Hiccup's aerial battle against 
this massive dragon was brilliantly brought to life, and the gigantic scope and scale 
of this confrontation is not lost in the translation.

 

"How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular" is a wonderful experience for 

the whole family, and for lovers of the movie and first-timers alike. Those fresh

 to the story will be enthralled with it from the first moment, and those who are 

already familiar with it will love this fresh take on the material. With high-flying

 stunts and dragons, wonderful and immersive effects, and a charming story at

 the heart of it all, "How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular" is a show

 that's not to be beat!
