VanderHeyden is the driving force
behind. ‘the. Dincsaur- World Tour's
Vancouver engagement.

“Set to open Saturday, June 3 at the
PNE Forum. the multi-media round-
up of rarely viewed and never-been-

. Seen before dinosaur skeletons and,

fossils is’ the largest

: travelling
dinosaur exhibit ‘ever

mounted,

Vancouver is its third stop (The tcur

originated in Edmonton in ‘92, trav-
elled to Toronto, then Osaka.).

For VanderHeyden, : president cf

“Headquarters Entertainment, it’s the
latest ina long series of world-class
‘events she’s helped produce and
‘bring, to. town including . Liza

Minnelli, and. the Andrew Lloyd
Webber musicals Phantom af the
Opera and CATS.

‘The tour is the result of a $20 mil+
lion scientific espedition funded by
the federal government and’ the
province of Albert that saw an elite
team of paleontologists and scientists
orchestrate ‘digs and finds in the
Canadian tligh Arctic. the Alberta
Badlands and the Gobi Desert of
China,

Taking a page from Indiana Jones,
scientists followed in the footsteps of
jegendary explorer Roy Chapman
(the real-life role model for the big-
sereen adventurer), unearthing skele-
tons of previously unknown species.

For dinophiles. both young and
old. the exhibit promises to be both
entertaining and educational.

“We've made ‘it as unabashedly
Disneyesque as possible. without
compromising the educational
aspect. explains VanderHeyden,
unwilling to give away too many sur-
prises.

- From Vancouver the tour heads to
Singapore. “We don’t expect to see it
back in North America for a number of
years, so we're very lucky to have it.”

MUGGING FOR the camera with Gobi, the Dinosaur World Tour mascot, and chatting up Liza Minnelli’s
manager may seem worlds apart but for Tina VanderHeyden it's all in a day's work. “My business is
about creating public awareness,” says the theatrical impresario. “Whether you're putting bums in
seats or you're driving people through i in a tour bus it’s the: same concept.”
