Dazzling audiences from around the world with unforgettable characters, costumes, choreography, original music, and a compelling story, Awakening takes place in one of the most technologically immersive theaters ever designed.
You will be awestruck by this true Las Vegas spectacle, which features mind-bending illusions, music, dance, and breathtaking puppetry, all set in one of the most technologically advanced theaters in the world. At the heart of this epic tale, a reluctant hero known as IO braves a series of unique trials as she confronts the forces of Light and Darkness in a quest to reunite them and save the world. To tell this dazzling story, Awakening showcases a cast of 60 supremely talented artists from around the globe.
Awakening takes place on a 60-foot, 360-degree prismatic stage, a true architectural marvel that undulates and expands as the characters move with ease. The show’s narration is provided by Anthony Hopkins.
Every element of this spectacular production has been conceived by a trio consisting of some of the most-renowned creatives in the entertainment industry: legendary producer Bernie Yuman, producer/director Baz Halpin, and Curry, the award-winning puppet master who also serves as one of Awakening’s producers. The result is a not-to-be-missed Las Vegas event that revolutionizes the live-theater experience.
