Sea World Shows: Clyde
& Seamore Take Pirate Island
This will have the whole family laughing. It's a hilarious, slapstick
pantomine of a show that is propoably the funniest in all of Sea World
Orlando. It features a sealion, a walrus and an otter as the main
characters, supported by the human trainers who play pirates. There's a
storyline about pirates stranded on an island and the search for
missing treasure, but really the plot is irrelevent! Its the humor and
pure silliness of the show that keeps audiences laughing.
The shows takes place in the Sea Lion & Otter Stadium and runs
for about 25 minutes. Be sure to get a seat promptly or else you may be
the focus of the pre-show act in which the actors make fun of those
last people arriving as they find their seats.
The show has some really bad acting and even worse jokes that will make
you groan, ugh! But its all in good fun, there's plenty of bloopers
that are in fact part of the script. The actors even poke fun at the
other Sea World shows such as 'Believe'. The part about the boy who
carves a necklace out of a piece of driftwood is given a pretty
ruthless mocking!
Sea World Shows: Odyssea
The Nautilus Theater is the stage for this indoor show. Odyssea is a
non-traditional circus featuring acrobats, contortionists and dancers.
It is similar in style to the Cirque Du Soleil. The theme is set around
an intrepid explorer who gets immersed in a mystical underwater fantasy
world filled with strange and wonderful creatures.
There are no live animals here to see. But you won't be disappointed by
the performances. A contortionist performs seemingly impossible moves
inside an oyster shell, penguins jump and dive off trampolines and
there's a 'human slinky'. Its a sort of tube costume with really big
arms and legs. It bounces, stretches and slides in various different
ways that make you wonder 'How do they do that?'
Sea World Shows: Blue
Horizons
This takes place in the Whale & Dolphin Theater. Its an
extravagant peformance in which the sea meets the sky. The sets used
are a series of huge frothy waves that cascade down and around the
sides of the main pool area and stage. The show itself is another
Cirque Du Soleil-esque event with trapeze artists, acrobats and divers
who jump from the very top levels of the set into the pool below.
Dolphins are the marine stars of this show as well as an arrary of
exotic macaws and Andean condors that fly back and forth across the
stadium.
Again, there is a corny element to the show, which is the storyline
narrated to the audience at the beginning of the performance. Its about
a woman who ventures, dream-like, to a point where the sea meets the
sky. Once there she aspires to meet with the animal and bird spirits.
As you may have guessed, its pretty cheesey and irrelevant, really.
The best parts are the high-wire acrobatics and diving together with
the dolphins jumping and birds flying all at once! The music was
performed by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
Sea World Shows: Pets
Ahoy
Many of the SeaWorld animals here have been adopted from local animal
shelters or rescue facilities. The stage is set indoors and is made to
look like an Atlantic coast beach front, complete with colorful wooden
houses, a lighthouse and even a radio station. There are cats, dogs,
rats, ducks, a skunk and a pig. You'll see cats slinking their way
across high wires from one side of the room to the other.
Then there's a sequence in which all the animals and birds dash about
the stage.
Dogs go into a door, only to flush out a few cats, who then run into a
hut and a skunk comes out and so on. Its really quite clever how its
all put together. There's a particularly comical moment where a dog
turns the handle of a vending machine that reads "Hot Dogs for Sale",
and the machine cranks out lots of little weiner dogs!
At the end of the show the dogs and their trainers welcome audience
members down to the front to meet the stars of the show. You will get
the chance to pet the some of animals. If you have small children this
is definately worth seeing!
