Lucas Worth (formerly of Morristown) is on the Walking with Dinosaurs tour as “Huxley,” a paleontologist who narrates the show. “You really just have to say ‘wow,’” he says. “The dinosaurs look amazing, even up close. They have personality and their subtle movements make them appear very life-like.”
