How To Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular coming to Times Union | Events

ALBANY - Begining on Thursday, October 4, DreamWorks'  How To Train Your Dragon Arena Spectacular will be coming to the Times Union Center.

Featuring viking warriors and circus acrobats performing in front of a state of the art, wall to floor immersive projection, the show promises to be a delight to children of all ages.

The main feature of the show are 23 dragons, some with wingspans of 46 feet.

The live production rolls fire-breathing action, epic adventure and heartfelt laughter into an original captivating story set in the mythical world of Vikings and wild dragons. 

Based on the book by Cressida Cowell, it centers on Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. 

Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.

The story presents a vision so grand in scale that only DreamWorks Animation and Global Creatures could bring How to Train Your Dragon to life in front of a live audience.

Tickets for this mind-boggling stage production go on sale July 23, and are available at the Arena Box Office thru Ticket master at, 1800-745-3000, or at TICKETMASTER.COM

There will be a show at 7p on October 4 and 5.
