Dinosaur Rock!

The show that started it all for DinoRock Productions is returning by popular demand. Now that the children who grew up loving Dinosaur Rock! are in college and beyond, the Dinorockers have decided it’s time to introduce a whole new generation to Stella Stegosaurus, Danny Diplodocus and his mom Dinah, the Hadrosaur from Hackensack, Tyrannosaurus rex...rex...rex, the Leapin’ Lizards and a surprise eleventh hour ceratopsian in the original DinoRock fossil fantasy.

Because there ain’t no such thing as dinosaur bones.
Time has turned ‘em all to stones.
They’ve become transmogrified.
Scientists say they’re petrified.
They’re Rock......They’re just Dinosaur Rock.
Or are they.....

An eccentric, yodeling paleontologist, always excited about dinosaurs, has found a way to bring them back to life. Award winning songs, lovable characters, audience participation, all the hallmarks of DinoRock’s repertoire are there with the return of Dinosaur Rock! When Professor Jones visits the Natural History Museum and runs into his old friend The Dinosaur Lady, the bones come together in ways that prompted Richard Harrington of The Washington Post to call Dinosaur Rock! “the TOMMY of children’s rock opera.”

Dinosaur Rock premiered at The Smithsonian Institution’s Discovery Theatre in 1984, and has been performed at The Brooklyn Academy of Music, The 92nd Street Y in Manhattan, The Luther Burbank Theatre in Santa Rosa, CA, and in theatres and museums in 39 states in between.
