Prepare To Train Some Dragons, Ya'll!

How To Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular

THIS IS CRAZY!

A LIVE show featuring dragons (yes, dragons) is coming to a city near you!

Don't be scurred! Dreamworks' How To Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular is a mindmelting live show, based on the film. It has 23 dragons (with wingspans up to 46 feet), Viking warriors and world-class circus artists and acrobats, to perform against a state-of-the-art, wall-to-floor immersive projection measuring more than 20,000 square feet.

Apparently some of them breath fire. Just insane.

It kinda sound like Circus Olay meets Walking with Dinosaurs meets a really awesome movie called How To Train Your Dragon!

The show was a HUGE hit in Australia and New Zealand. Hope it does well in the states — partially because it must be really expensive to put on. LOL!

Check out a list of tour dates… AFTER THE JUMP!!

Leap Of Faith Is Closing Too!

Leap Of Faith closing

WTF Broadway??

We JUST found out that How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying is closing, and NOW Leap Of Faith announced they're jumping ship too! Boo!

It's pretty sad. The show has been running less that a month, and not even their Tony nomination for Best Musical has helped them fill seats.

What's odd is ticket sales have surged for
