New images reveal that Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is almost done with the preparation of their upcoming immersive experience All Systems Are Go! featuring state-of-the-art puppetry, lights, sounds, and the beloved Peanuts characters. The Peanuts crew is all set to launch into space beginning 24 March 2023.
The original concept, story and music were created by the acclaimed Montreal-based production company, Monlove. The show will feature beloved Peanuts characters including Snoopy, Woodstock, Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, Lucy, Franklin and Schroeder.
Monlove is transforming the visitor complex’s 300-seat Universe Theater for All Systems Are Go! with Dolby Atmos sound, motorised scrims and more than 20 integrated laser projectors to enhance the project’s high-end immersive edutainment experience. The original orchestral score composed by Allaire and Ferguson will offer music in an eclectic mix of orchestral, contemporary, and jazz styles. Using augmented reality interactive technology, audience members will be able to use their smartphones to scan the environment to discover space elements and a music sequence.
The 20-minute experience, included with admission and offered daily, will feature the Peanuts gang appearing as four to five-foot-tall articulated characters operated by puppeteers. The characters will narrate the iconic history of NASA, the Artemis missions, and future plans in an educational and imaginatively enlightening way for the whole family. NASA’s Artemis missions will land the first woman and first person of colour on the Moon and establish the first long-term presence on the Moon.
Monlove, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Peanuts Worldwide had announced the creation of All Systems Are Go! at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex’s Universe Theater in November 2022. The collaboration is Monlove’s first association with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Peanuts Worldwide.
