Hold On To Your Butts
Two actors. One Foley artist. A comedy 65 million years in the making.
Critics' Pick. "Painfully funny... a pure joy from start to finish." Time Out New York
About the show
Life, uh, finds a way
Two actors and a Foley artist perform a live, shot-for-shot parody of the greatest dinosaur movie of all time, recreated with cardboard cutouts, hilarious impersonations, and live sound effects. A wildly inventive tour-de-force of comedy, physical theater, and live Foley.
Part comedy, part love letter, entirely unpredictable. Whether you've seen the movie a hundred times or not at all, Butts will make you laugh, gasp, and question everything you thought you knew about theater (and dinosaurs).
