One Direction Fans Will Get Their “Last First Kiss” in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO - March 17, 2015 - PRLog -- San Francisco, Calif. (March 17, 2015) – Just in time for Spring Break, and for the last time in the US, Madame Tussauds  San Francisco (https://www.madametussauds.com/SanFrancisco/) is launching the re-styled wax figures for teen sensation pop group, One Direction.

Bay Area One Direction fans will have their first chance to get up-close-and-personal with the figures at the unveiling, set to take place from 1:00pm – 3:00pm on Saturday, March 21^st in Ghirardelli Marketplace, located at 900 North Point St #52, San Francisco.

The re-styled figures are sitting casually together on a school-style double bench and allow for fans to sit with them and take photos.

Madame Tussauds San Francisco has partnered with Live Nation to giveaway concert tickets for One Direction’s sold-out concert set for July 11^th at Levi’s Stadium. Fans traveling to the attraction from now until June 12^th are eligible to enter for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the concert when they tag their selfie with the One Direction figures on social media using #mtsfselfie & #onedirectionlevis. In total, Madame Tussauds will be giving away two dozen stadium tickets and one pair of floor tickets.

The pop group is the first boy band to be re-styled to capture a more mature look in Madame Tussauds’ history. Each band member gave two sittings where Madame Tussauds artists were able to take hundreds of precise measurements, examine their skin tone, eye color and matched hair swatches to ensure complete accuracy. The studio team of 40 sculptors, molders, hair stylists, colorists and wardrobe experts worked for more than four months to create the incredibly life-like figures.

“We are thrilled to unveil the re-styling of these unique figures at our San Francisco attraction,” said Wesley Morgan, General Manager for Madame Tussauds San Francisco. “One Direction has become an international pop icon, and we are so excited to share this figure with the fans and bring them closer to meeting One Direction.”

Madame Tussauds San Francisco is the newest attraction at the historic Fisherman’s Wharf District and provides guests of all ages with a fun and interactive experience as they come face-to-face with wax likenesses of everyone from A-list stars and athletes, to politicians and cultural icons from the city and around the world.
