Ben Hur on the way

A spectacular stadium-scaled production of Ben Hur is set to be staged in stadiums around Australia in 2010 as the first leg of a spectacular world tour.

Ticketek says Ben Hur: Bigger Than The Legend is a marvellous mixture of theatre and major event entertainment. It tells the classic tale of a Hebrew prince in the turbulent years around the birth of Christ and features 217 cast, 32 horses and over 200 crew.

The production was secured under a ground breaking five year agreement between StadeFrance Live Events and ANZ Stadium to bring the world’s best Stadium-scaled and themed entertainment to Australia and New Zealand.

Tickets are not yet on sale but Ticketek and Showbiz have wait lists available.
