What They’re Saying
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Telling the story of Awakening is a diverse cast of 60 artists from around the globe. At the center of this epic tale is a reluctant heroine known as IO, who must brave unique trials in her quest to reunite Light and Darkness and return harmony to the universe. At the heart of this true Las Vegas spectacle is a powerful storyline also punctuated by moments of comedy, courtesy of Boo and Bandit, a duo who support IO through friendship and humor. Surrounding this trio, a wealth of singular talents and personalities — human and otherwise — define the artistic marvel that is Awakening.
MUSIC. MAGIC. SPECTACLE
Michael Curry’s award-winning work on The Lion King on Broadway forever elevated the art of puppetry, and he raises the bar yet again with Awakening.
The fantastical creatures Curry has conceptualized spring to life all around you in the 360-degree Awakening Theater, enchanting audiences with their heroic scale and incredible movement. Imbuing every moment of this spectacle with magic and mystery, Curry’s astonishing puppets have been integral to Awakening’s status as the must-see experience in today’s American theater.
