Apollo 13: Mission Control takes audiences on a rollicking caper through space and beyond. Following acclaimed seasons at the New Zealand International Arts Festival and the Sydney Opera House, this interactive theatrical production is lauded by critics and loved by audiences for its innovation and imaginative design. As three astronauts trapped 200,000 miles from earth fight for their lives, audience members seated in ‘Mission Control’ must make the critical decisions necessary to bring the heroes safely home. In command of this epic adventure is Flight Director Gene Kranz, who lives by the simple belief that ‘Failure is not an option’.
To deliver a truly inter-galactic experience, the theatre is transformed into an authentic 1970s replica of Mission Control, complete with retro computers, giant video screens and elaborate consoles. Seats are also available in the Press Gallery for those who prefer a quieter trip into lunar orbit.
‘If you have to get to the Moon to get a ticket for this show then do so, as it’s one not to be missed at all costs.’ -Ewen Coleman, The Dominion Post
