Venue: UK and Ireland Venues

Celebrating National Science & Engineering Week which launches this week, Science Museum Live on Tour announces plans to extend its current 12-week theatre tour by a further 7 weeks in response to popular demand from audiences nationwide.

The extended tour will visit theatres across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland, presenting the show at a total of 53 venues this spring, until 19 June. Inspired by the Science Museum's hugely popular interactive galleries, this inventive family theatre show leads children and adults on an exploratory adventure into the wonderful world of science.

Spectacular science, dangerous demonstrations and extraordinary experiments burst onto the stage in this entertaining live show. Featuring interactive sets, pyrotechnics and digital projections, the action is interspersed with web cam footage from inside the Science Museum.

The Science Museum's Outreach Manager, Toby Parkin, said; "The live theatre show is a really innovative way to engage people in science. We hope that through this we can break down the barriers people may have to learning about scientific concepts."

The success of Science Museum Live on Tour exemplifies the huge rise in the popularity of live theatrical science demonstrations and science shows, moving across from the traditional education platform into mainstream, popular live entertainment.

2012 sees family focussed science shows playing in venues as varied as Birmingham's NEC, where this week's Big Bang Fair will attract 50,000 attenders across its 3 day event; planned shows at The Isle of Wight Festival which will attract 60,000 attenders, and over 200,000 attenders are watching science entertainment shows staged at Butlins all year round.

The rise of popular science is fast becoming a phenomenon. In 2011 over 350,000 children and their families attended Science Museum Live on Tour, Brainiac Live! and Big Bang! alone. The Science Museum posted its highest figure recently with 20,000 people visiting the Museum in one day and the success of its Lates audience (18-35 year olds) has snowballed, reaching up to 5000 attenders a night.

Science Museum Live on Tour is a collaboration between the Science Museum and production company M4 Entertainment who produced the smash hit show Brainiac Live! and who are Creative Producers for The Big Bang! and Guinness World Records Science! Based on an original concept by Ben Keaton and written and directed by creative team Mark Thompson & Andy Joyce, the production is based on an original design by Phil Eddols, with lighting design by Dave Muir, AV & sound design by Rich Rowley and performed by Mike Gobel and Emma Blackwell.

Science Museum Live on Tour supports the Key Stage 2 Science curriculum and is suitable for the whole family ages 7 and above.
