The Ben Hur Live London show hits the O2 Arena again in January 2010 and is set to be one of the first monumentals show of the new year. Renowned for putting on big, exciting shows unlike any other venue in the city, this time the O2 Arena is topping its bill with a 400 performer show that includes 100 animals and a breakneck chariot race.
Ben Hur Live
Set to pull in the crowds with this epic show, the Ben Hur Live London event comes to the O2 Arena following its successful debut in the summer of 2009. Renowned for starring the barrel chested Charlton Heston, the film was based on the novel by Lew Wallace and caused much the same stir at the cinemas in the 50s as the Ben Hur Live show is certain to do in 2010.
An epic show
Bringing to life the epic story of the Jewish Prince Judah Ben Hur, the event uses all kinds of breathtaking special effects to take the audience on a trip back in time to the days of Christ. With light, water, wind and pyrotechnic effects all creating a majestic desert landscape, the Ben Hur Live London show is sure to be a modern day marvel of live action animal and human performance.
Live action
Combining over hundreds of actors and animals, the show is certainly not on the small scale. Following on from the success of the O2 show in 2009, ticket sales for the Ben Hur Live London performance were so popular that more dates have been added to the bill. The highlight of the entire epic event will no doubt be the chariot race which was famously one of the most exciting scenes from the 1950s film. Five quadrigas and a team of highly trained thoroughbred horses will race around the arena in a thrilling sequence that will have the audience holding their breath.
The show of the year
A huge symphonic soundtrack, a narrator, 400 performers, monkeys, horses, camels, chickens, faalcons and eagles are just a few of the elements that combine to make this a staggering show. A must for anyone who loves a grand and monumental show, and for anyone intrigued to see the epic film brought to life, Ben Hur Live is quite simply not to be missed.
