About to buy some tickets for this, has anybody any info about the show?

Part circus, part theatre and part animated movie it is an unusual hybrid of formats which succeeds in bringing the Batman story to life an entertaining way.

"BATMAN LIVE will be a totally unique experience. This is not a musical but a high quality live show with a thrilling Batman story, filled with action, that will appeal to adults, teenagers and families," said Nick Grace. "Batman is more than a comic book character, he's a cultural phenomenon and we are proud to have this opportunity to be involved with one of the most popular DC Super Heroes in the world today."

Sorry! I didn't realise my full post didn't go through (dogs distracting me).
I just meant to say '... odd, is it a musical or not' as in genuinely curious

It's a fair question, I've double checked and the title actually doesn't have the word 'musical' in it.

But it's not a concert either... guess I'm in the wrong forum though I'm not sure where I should be.

It's a theatre production of some sort so there's no bother it being here, Theatre & Performing Arts might be good too, not too sure. See if many more here know/heard about it?

Sounds interesting though, I was curious because I was trying to picture Batman:The Musical (70s batman would do well here lol). I've a friend who'd be into it (once it wasn't a musical).

Just wondering if it's a trend with that Spiderman fiasco.

Apparently they're desperate to distance themselves from the Spiderman musical. This is an all action, no singing affair. And apparently has been done well. I was reading up on this and it seems to be getting great reviews. Part of me did want it to be a musical based on the 60's show with Adam West starring, but I guess that may never be.

Well it's settled then.

I've got tickets to go see it on the 1st,not really looking foreward to it but that review is a bit more encouraging.

Ticket prices are cheap enough, tickets from €23? Good for a night out

senordingdong

Yeah but what kind of seat will that get you?

My son and hubby are seeing it on the 1st he got middle of the road seats, I hope the view will be ok for them as its a surprise for my son aged 7!

Went to see it last night and have to say it was brilliant. A great spectacle though I would say there are some parts that I don't think are too suitable for younger children.

Visuals were great and it was brilliant to see all the different environments created on the one stage. If I had to highlight one flaw I would say that they crammed alot of characters into the show and maybe it suffered for it.
