“We have been working hard to make sure that our multi-generational appeal extends to our youngest space explorers,” Therrin Protze, COO of Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, said. “This new show will delight guests of all ages as it features the loveable Peanuts characters and Snoopy. These characters have contributed to the excitement for NASA human spaceflight missions for more than 50 years.”
All Systems are Go features an original score, created exclusively for the show. It will showcase an eclectic mix of orchestral, contemporary, and jazz styles, according to a news release.
Guests can participate in an interactive experience via their smartphones to reveal hidden space elements and create a unique music sequence. This happens before the show even starts.
The show was created by Montreal-based production company called Monlove. The 20-minute show will feature Snoopy, Woodstock, Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, Lucy, and other characters. They are 4 to 5-foot-tall articulated characters that will be operated by puppeteers. The characters will narrate the history of NASA, Artemis missions, and future space plans.
“This joint effort between Monlove, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Peanuts Worldwide is a fantastic avenue for fans to learn about Peanuts and NASA’s storied history as well as experience Charles Schulz’s iconic characters in a new and exciting way,” said Craig Herman, vice preside of global brand experiences and publishing for Peanuts Worldwide, in a statement.
