It's a stage show!
LEGOLAND California in Carlsbad announces the arrival
of "Life on Mars," April 28, 2001. Measurements: 20 minutes, six cast members
playing three characters, 500 pounds of foam (225 kg), five daily showings.
Delivered by LEGO Global Family Attractions.
Park officials describe "Life on
Mars" as "Blue Man Group" meets "Stomp" for kids. Based on a LEGO toy line,
astronaut BB-LEGO cavorts with LEGO Martians Cassiopeia and Altair as they search
for Biodum, a source of energy and life found within meteors on the surface
of Mars. The characters learn how to communicate through sound and movement.
The same show is debuting at all three LEGOLAND parks this year. Billund opened
the show in March, and Windsor's park is expected to raise the curtain on "Life
on Mars" this month.
