We’ve had Doctor Who Live and now it’s the turn of another iconic character who’s been around even longer than the Doctor – Batman!
The Batman Live World Arena Tour will premier in the UK in summer 2011 and has been described as ‘an all-new, live-action arena adventure set to take the world by storm.’
The story is all-new and written exclusively for the show. Batman Live will feature exciting stunts, acrobatic acts and illusions. Gotham City, Wayne Manor, the Batcave and Arkham Asylum will be brought to life on stage and Batman and Robin will fight old foes such as the Joker, The Riddler, Catwoman, The Penguin and Two-Face.
Starting at the Manchester Evening News Arena on 20 July, the show will also appear in Newcastle, Glasgow, Sheffield, Birmingham, London, Liverpool, Nottingham, Dublin and Belfast.
