Awakening
Awakening at Wynn Las Vegas invites audiences to join the quest of a heroine and her two fellow travelers as they seek to reunite two lost lovers. Infused with modern day myth and magic, the show comes to life through a combination of dramatic choreography, technology, fantastic creatures, and a custom sound system designed to showcase its breathtaking original musical score.
Set inside the most technologically advanced theater in the world, the Awakening Theater, Awakening will have you gasping in awe and delight from beginning to end.
Awakening was conceived and created by Bernie Yuman, Baz Halpin and Michael Curry, and is narrated by two-time Academy Award® winner Anthony Hopkins.
The Awakening Theater features 1,600 seats, each within 75 feet of center stage and equipped with a sound system that envelops audiences and creates 3D sound. Elaborate set designs are showcased as the journey unfolds across a 60-foot prismatic stage, made of dichroic glass and custom LED screens. More than 300 costumes, inspired by haute couture, bring the five unique and visceral worlds of Awakening to life.
Harnessing the talent of a renowned creative team, Awakening promises to be an adventure of spectacular proportions.
“This show makes it possible for people to escape into a world that pushes the boundaries of entertainment,” said Michael Curry, Producer and Character Designer of Awakening. “The puppetry and designs speak to the magnitude of Awakening as every scene takes the unbelievable and makes it real. The transformational stage acts as a character itself, allowing vast changes – from giving viewers the impression that they are submerged underwater to floating in a world in the clouds. These worlds come to life with imaginative characters and creatures unlike anything audiences have seen before.”
Showtimes for Awakening at Wynn Las Vegas are 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
