Columbia, South Carolina

October 2010

We saw the previews of the live show on PBS and bought tickets to the show that weekend.  We were wowed by the "Live" dinosaur theater with superior animatronics and some humans in costumes, superbly scary and professionally done!

The menacing set of teeth filled the end of the stage, as a precursor of what was to come!  A narrator paleontologist led us through history.
