5 4 3 2 1 (BANG!)

In five more days Apollo 13: Mission Control will launch at BATS, first of the 2008 STAB season shows. The countdown has already begun for the most interactive show you'll ever be part of, opening this Saturday 18 October. There'll also be a Public Preview on Friday, for more info scroll below.

Apollo 13: Mission Control is gonna be one epic show that's gonna rock! Already the theatre has been transformed into a Mission Control room at NASA's Houston base. Think old school retro computers, massive as video screens and so many other features I don't even know the name of. It's like walking through a time warp into the early seventies. Raid that wardrobe, throw your best retro look and grab a box of spaceman candies at the candy bar and you're set!

With your own computer console, you will have to work together and bring those stranded astronauts home.

Have you booked yet? You don't want to get left behind! Grab an Explorer Pass and you can see both STAB shows, Apollo 13: Mission Control and Heat for only $26

The Apollo 13: Mission Control soundtrack composed by Lawrence Arabia can be bought from the BATS Box Office for $10.

Avoid the madness, skip the rush, grab you tickets in advance.

Love BATSxx
