About the Show
Presented by Key City Theatre
Two actors. One Foley artist. One enormous dinosaur movie—recreated live on stage with nothing but everyday objects, razor-sharp timing and a ridiculous amount of imagination.
Sixty-five million years in the making—and performed on a fraction of a Hollywood budget.
Hold On To Your Butts is a wildly inventive, laugh-out-loud parody of the greatest dinosaur movie of all time. Two actors race through every iconic character and unforgettable moment while a Foley artist creates the music, sound effects and dinosaur roars live on stage.
Using physical comedy, simple props and relentless theatrical ingenuity, Recent Cutbacks transforms a blockbuster adventure into a gloriously lo-fi spectacle. Whether you know every line of the original movie or simply enjoy clever, fast-paced comedy, this international Fringe, West End and Off-Broadway hit is an absurdly fun night at the theatre.
Life finds a way. So does theatre.
Recommended for ages 8 and up.
