Wynn Las Vegas introduced a new era of entertainment with the premiere of Awakening on Nov. 7, 2022. An unprecedented spectacle, Awakening is a mythic adventure story of a hero who confronts the forces of Darkness in a quest to bring Light back to the world. The production immerses audiences in a custom-designed 360-degree theater experience with soaring aerialists, bounding acrobats, high-energy choreography, couture costumes, stunning puppetry, and comedic moments. All set amid one of the most technologically immersive theater ever designed.
The theater features 1,600 seats, each within 75 feet of center stage and equipped with a sound system that envelops audiences through WynnSonic featuring PHBX Technology™ – a technology that surrounds each member of the audience in a cocoon of 3D sound. Elaborate set designs are showcased as the journey unfolds across a 60-foot prismatic stage, made of dichroic glass and custom LED screens. More than 300 costumes, inspired by haute couture, bring the three unique worlds of Awakening to life. Awakening is an adventure of spectacular proportions.
Awakening is conceived and created by some of the most renowned creative talents in the entertainment industry including legendary Producer Bernie Yuman, Producer/Director Baz Halpin, Emmy Award-winning Designer Producer Michael Curry, narrated by two-time Academy Award-winner Anthony Hopkins.
