Check Ticket Availability for Ben Hur at the O2

A huge new live version of Ben Hur has been announced for the O2 Arena in September 2009. The stage version will cost £5million to put on, and will include a cast of 400 performers and 100 animals. It’s being timed to coincide with the the 50th anniversary of the movie, and will be a spectacular show featuring light, sound, water, wind and pyrotechnic effects.

It will be performed in an ampitheatre style setting, and will include the famous chariot race as seen in the film.

This looks set to be one of the most impressive sights yet hosted at the O2 arena.
