MediaWorks & TEG Live, Stage Entertainment Productions and Twentieth Century Fox announced today they will bring Ice Age Live! A Mammoth Adventure to New Zealand audiences in May 2016.

The show will bring the smash hit Ice Age movies to life with exceptional ice skating, aerial arts, puppetry and film.
