SEAWORLD SAN ANTONIO ADDS “AZUL” TO 2010 LINEUP
SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 11, 2010) – SeaWorld San Antonio will take animal and human interaction to a new level with the premiere of a spectacular new show, "Azul: Lure of the Sea," Friday, March 12.
"Azul" succeeds "Viva!" at the marine life park’s 3,000-seat Beluga Stadium and will include colorful new costumes and scenic elements, original music, enhanced sound and lighting and a cast of 22 high divers, synchronized swimmers, aerialists, bungee artists and animal trainers.
But the real stars of the show will be acrobatic Pacific white-sided dolphins and graceful beluga whales. Joining them for the spectacle will be beautiful birds including brightly hued macaws and sun conures.
"Our lively new spectacle focuses on a curious 'tourist' who is transported to a land of strange and mystical air, land and sea creatures," said Dan Decker, SeaWorld San Antonio’s executive vice president and general manager. "We believe our guests will truly enjoy the sights and sounds of this great adventure, just as they did when we premiered the totally new and exciting 'Viva!' in 2002. It created a popular new wave of SeaWorld entertainment that we're taking to new depths and heights."
"Azul" will introduce the tourist to the audience in a comical pre-show routine, Decker added, so it's important not to miss anything.
"It's a show with everything you can imagine – humor, drama and especially amazing animal and human connections," Decker said. "Every member of the family will find something to really like in 'Azul.'"
SeaWorld San Antonio opens for the 2010 season Feb. 27. Days and hours of operation vary. For park operating schedule, visit seaworld.com or call (800) 700-7786.
