There is something about a live action show that is more captivating, more engaging, more REAL than just seeing something on a TV screen.
It’s actually magical to see a story literally come to life in full blown actual, real life 3 dimensions.
My kids have been to a live action show before and they both loved it, they still talk about it, and continually ask to go back.
The newest live action show to hit arenas across the country is based on the hit animated film called “How to Train Your Dragon” and it opens in Chicago on Wednesday July 25th Thursday, July 26th. My kids and I will be attending the show and we also have the honor of taking part in a special VIP Experience called ‘A Hero’s Welcome’.

The Chicago show runs from July 26th through July 29th but runs in cities across the country through February 2013.
New York, NY – July 18, 2012 – DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA), Global Creatures and S2BN Entertainment announced today that the Chicago premiere of DREAMWORKS HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON LIVE SPECTACULAR will now be on Thursday, July 26 at the United Center, instead of July 25.
The critically acclaimed show’s enormous size and groundbreaking technology require an additional day to load-in and build, setting the stage for 23 fire-breathing dragons that swoop and soar directly over the audience. The entire environment immerses children and adults into the magical, mystical world of Vikings and dragons in a never-before-seen arena setting that soars through oceans, valleys and vista mountain tops and spans more than 20,000 square feet of incredible set design. The date change will provide additional time to complete this extraordinary build.
