ABOUT


Awakening, voted Best Production Show by the Southern Nevada Hotel Concierge Association, is the must-see show experience in Las Vegas and it's only at Wynn. 

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 every thrilling moment of this production, from soaring aerialists and bounding acrobats to the comedic moments that bring a lighthearted balance to Awakening’s gripping tale. At the heart of this mythic adventure, a hero must confront the forces of Light and Darkness in a quest to save the world, and in doing so encounters a fascinating assortment of characters — including oversized, fantastical creatures designed by award-winning puppet master Michael Curry, that captivate with their graceful, lifelike movements.

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.

The Characters

Amid Awakening’s diverse cast of dynamic characters, the heroine known as IO must face a challenge like no other: to brave the forces of Light and Darkness in her quest to reunite them and save the world. Yet this powerful storyline is also punctuated by moments of comedy, courtesy of Boo and Bandit, a duo who lend their support to IO through friendship and humor. This trio is also surrounded by a wealth of singular talents and personalities — human and otherwise.

The Magic of Puppets

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.

…"modern-day myth, fantastical creatures and theatrical choreography match the grandiose and cutting-edge nature of the technology"
