Hold On To Your Butts

The critically acclaimed comedy from New York and the West End is coming to Academy of Music!

Two actors and a Foley artist perform a live, shot-for-shot parody of the greatest dinosaur film of all time. A wildly inventive tour-de-force of comedy, physical theatre and live Foley.
