Fifty years after the Apollo 11 lunar landing proved that America could meet President John F. Kennedy’s challenge and beat Russia in the space race, man is walking on the moon once again. This time inside a Lunar Dome at the Rose Bowl.
A replica of the Apollo 11 lunar module is part of"Apollo 11: The Immersive Live Show" inside a dome in a parking lot at the Rose Bowl.
Standing on the circular stage during a press preview, he gazed about with satisfaction. The Lunar Dome can seat 1,600 and is held up through exterior bracing, so no tent poles obstruct viewing. The structure was manufactured in 10 countries, shipped in 60 containers and assembled for its world premiere here in Pasadena.
Director Faris, who grew up in Orange County, remembers watching “every launch, every landing” as a child. The creative team decided to go with a fictionalized story, he said, because a dramatization allows them “to take multiple points of view” in telling the behind-the-scenes story of the lunar touchdown and Neil Armstrong’s first steps.
