There's something new on the horizon at SeaWorld San Diego: a breakthrough theatrical spectacular that unites sea and sky with visions of Broadway as it showcases majestic animals and spirited performers. "Blue Horizons" - featuring energetic bottlenose dolphins, a colorful array of exotic birds and amazing acrobatic performers - is scheduled to open at the marine-life park in May 2010.
"We're delighted to bring 'Blue Horizons' to SeaWorld," says the park's general manager and executive vice president, Andy Fichthorn. "Dolphins are one of the most beloved and adored animals in the world, and it's exciting to combine the grace and energy of such an amazing creature with a theatrical production that will be truly spectacular. We believe our guests will love this new and fantastic show." At the center of "Blue Horizons" is Marina, a young girl whose vivid imagination sets the stage for graceful dolphins, magnificent pilot whales and a rainbow of exotic birds to come together where the sea meets the sky. "Blue Horizons" features action both above and under the water, as a cast of divers and aerialists plunge off the elaborate set into, and also propel out of, the deep blue water. To create "Blue Horizons," SeaWorld collaborated with the entertainment industry's most inventive and artistic experts, marrying great theatrical extravagance with the awe-inspiring feats of SeaWorld animals and trainers. "Only SeaWorld could create such a spectacular concept, a type of show that can be seen nowhere else in the world," said Stanley Meyer, "Blue Horizons" set designer and show consultant. Meyer, best known for his work designing the Broadway musical "Beauty and the Beast," created the set for SeaWorld Orlando's "Blue Horizons," which has been a hit with audiences there since 2005. While divers and aerialists sway through the sky and dive off the set, the true stars of the show grace the waters below. SeaWorld's dolphins and pilot whales leap their way into this dreamy adventure with no apparent direction from trainers. African crowned cranes, coral bills, black vultures and other bird species soar over the audience as they ascend toward the horizon. |
