"Star Trek, The Tour", now showing in Long Beach. Don't buy the plane tickets yet, as it has a forty city tour ahead.
(Edited: Thanks to an update of the startrek.com site, and a heads up from
yourbob , thanks!)
I'm curious, and I will more than likely wait until it gets to S.F. to see it. It got good reviews from
Star Trek's most famous captian.
The 50,000 square foot exhibition is equal in size to nearly two football fields filled with 250 tons of priceless Star Trek sets, original props, costumes and creations. STAR TREK THE TOUR brings together some of Hollywood’s finest craftsmen and artists who created and shaped the signature look and image of Star Trek over the years, including production designer Herman Zimmerman, costume designer Robert Blackman, make-up artist Michael Westmore and visual effects creator Dan Curry. All of these original Star Trek artists lent their talents to STAR TREK THE TOUR to provide visitors with an authentic, behind-the-scenes view. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s son, Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, provides a rare insider’s look at what it took to make his father’s vision into reality as he narrates a tribute to the man who started it all. A complete audio tour is also available."
“Years in the making, the creation of STAR TREK THE TOUR has been a voyage of discovery worthy of the show itself,” explained Martin Biallas, CEO of SEE Touring Productions, Inc, which is producing the event. “Over the past 10 years, we secured privileged access to the vaults for the Star Trek TV shows and films, plucked select gems and tirelessly assembled the world’s leading collection of priceless Star Trek sets, ships, props and costumes. Now, we’re bringing Star Trek to life and inviting the public to experience it up-close-and-personal in a way never before possible.”
“The universal appeal of STAR TREK THE TOUR is undeniable,” explained John Scher, President of Metropolitan Talent. “It has something to offer for everyone -- from 8-year-old children to 80-year-old grandparents, we have all grown up with Star Trek and watched it become one of the most beloved and popular series of all time. It has captured our imagination. Now, for the first time, we’re turning fantasy into reality. We’re pulling back the curtain to give the public an exclusive opportunity to step inside the Star Trek world for themselves.”
