Experience one of mankind’s greatest achievements with ‘Apollo 11,’ an immersive 360-degree adventure

OC Fair & Event Center dates to be announced soon

Los Angeles, CA, April 2, 2019 – APOLLO 11 – An Immersive 360° Adventure touches down for its world premiere in Los Angeles at the Rose Bowl Stadium on July 5th with the next cities confirmed including OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, CA, and Space Center Houston in Houston, TX.

APOLLO 11 is a ground-breaking new theater show with an original story performed by a full cast and presented in the spectacular purpose-built, one-of-a-kind LUNAR DOME with a jaw-dropping 40,000 square feet of 360° video projection.

As we approach the 50th anniversary of man’s first steps on the Moon, the time has come to tell one of the greatest stories in human history. Los Angeles will be this exciting new, truly immersive, live show’s first stop of an 18-city tour over the next three years. APOLLO 11 will launch July 5th for a limited engagement, in the all-new LUNAR DOME on the grounds of one of Los Angeles’ most historic landmarks, The Rose Bowl Stadium.
APOLLO 11 is written by Todd Kreidler and directed by Scott Faris and brought to you by a world-class creative team.

“This truly immersive experience takes you from the thrill of the countdown to the enormous Saturn V rocket launch and on an unforgettable journey to the Moon and back,” said director Scott Faris. “We are excited to tell this unique story to the world and thrilled to be opening in Los Angeles. It’s guaranteed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience audiences will never forget.”

APOLLO 11 was written and created to tell some of the stories behind the 1969 Moon landing and to celebrate the incredible forces that came together to make history and inspire future generations.

“This show brings back the excitement of a special time in our history. I was fortunate to be one of the 12 people to walk on the Moon,” said Charlie Duke, a former astronaut who in 1972, became the youngest person to walk on the Moon. “I was also privileged to be the Apollo 11 CapCom [Capsule Communicator] in Mission Control communicating with Neil and Buzz as they landed on the Moon. It was a historic moment for America and the world and this production captures the intensity of that time and all the incredible accomplishments leading up to that moment and beyond.”

“Going to the Moon is something in your life you will never forget and an experience like the new APOLLO 11 – An Immersive 360° Adventure really takes you right back to that time,” said Gerry Griffin, Apollo Flight Director. “It was a different era back then, and the entire world was watching and rooting for us to get to the Moon. It’s pretty incredible to think if that was today, how many people would be watching it live and in color. This show really gives you the feeling as if you were there 50 years ago.”
