Tom Hanks' Immersive Moon Show Lands in Boston

Prepare for liftoff! An out-of-this-world immersive experience is set to land in Boston this month. Lightroom and Paquin Entertainment Group have announced that "The Moonwalkers: A Journey With Tom Hanks" will make its North American debut at The Saunders Castle at Park Plaza on June 27, 2024. Tickets for this highly anticipated cinematic event are on sale now.

This isn't your average trip to the movies. "The Moonwalkers" promises to transport audiences on a spectacular voyage to the moon, blending powerful storytelling from executive producer and narrator Tom Hanks with rare, digitally restored NASA archival footage and cutting-edge spatial audio. The result is a breathtakingly vivid recreation of the historic Apollo missions, designed to make you feel like you are right there alongside the astronauts.

Hanks, whose fascination with the Apollo missions has been a lifelong passion, lends his iconic voice and creative vision to the project. "As a kid, I was deeply affected by the Apollo missions and the dedication and commitment of the human beings who made each journey,” says Hanks. “Through the extraordinary and unique production capabilities of Lightroom, the audience can see these incredible moments in a new and enthralling perspective.”

This immersive experience, co-written by Hanks and double BAFTA-nominated writer-director Christopher Riley, offers a unique perspective on humanity's past and future voyages to the lunar surface. The show features newly filmed interviews between Hanks and the astronauts of the current Artemis program, bridging the gap between the pioneers of the past and the explorers of tomorrow.

Fresh off a record-breaking run in London that drew over 250,000 attendees, "The Moonwalkers" arrives in Boston with tremendous buzz. The producers, Paquin Entertainment Group, are the masterminds behind other blockbuster immersive hits like "Beyond Van Gogh" and "Beyond Monet," which have sold over seven million tickets globally.

“We are proud to partner with Lightroom, who work with some of the greatest artistic talents across art, music, film, fashion, science, and more,” says Justin Paquin, president of exhibitions and theatrical at Paquin Entertainment Group. “We are excited to have the support of the legendary Tom Hanks, whose passion for space exploration and compelling storytelling bring this experience to life.”

Richard Slaney, CEO of Lightroom and Producer of "The Moonwalkers," adds, “Our mission is to push the boundaries of storytelling—partnering with the world’s most visionary creatives to craft groundbreaking experiences for everyone.”

With nations around the globe once again racing to explore the cosmos, "The Moonwalkers" is a timely and awe-inspiring reminder of one of humanity's greatest achievements. Don't miss your chance to witness the moon as never before.
