If I did in fact find a genie in a bottle and he did in fact grant me three wishes, the first two would be for my kids, their health, peace on earth, blah, blah, blah. When we got down to that last wish, I am fairly certain it would be that the genie make me into a super hero. Yup, you heard me right. I mean honestly, wouldn’t you add that to your “genie list” if you had the chance.
While the genie in a bottle scenario may be a few years off for good ol’ DAD, superheros in Marvel Universe LIVE! are just around the corner and I personally can’t wait.
Marvel Universe LIVE! is the creation of FELD Entertainment, you know the people behind Ringling Brothers Circus and Monster Jam…to name a few. FELD knows how to put on a great show and Marvel Universe LIVE! promises to be it’s best ever, which is saying something.
Let’s take a minute to soak it in with this video.
Featuring the most Marvel characters ever assembled in one production, this is the largest live arena production licensee partnership in Marvel history. The high-caliber arena spectacular will put fans right in the middle of one of the most electrifying battles between good and evil ever conceived. This first-ever live Marvel tour made its 85-city debut in July 2014 in Tampa, FL, followed by the world premiere at New York City’s Barclays Center in August 2014. Marvel Universe LIVE! will be flying in to Chicago from Sept. 10 to Sept. 13 at the United Center and Sept. 18 to Sept 20 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., for total of 15 performances in Chicagoland. Tickets for Marvel Universe LIVE! are on sale now. Click here for all locations and tickets.
Marvel Universe LIVE! brings more than 25 Marvel characters together on one heroic quest. The story is framed around the battle over the Cosmic Cube, the source of ultimate power and one of the most feared and coveted treasures in the Marvel Universe, that has been shattered into pieces by the Mighty Thor in order to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. With the pieces scattered across the globe, Thor’s villainous brother Loki devises a scheme to clone its powers, inciting a threat that could not only decimate Earth but also obliterate the Universe.
To defeat Loki, Marvel’s biggest Super Heroes must band together, including The Avengers – Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Thor along with Spider-Man and Wolverine, must trek across the globe to retrieve the Cosmic Cube fragments and unite them. As the Super Heroes track the Cube, they will encounter some of their biggest adversaries including Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Red Skull, Madame Hydra, Aldrich Killian, Electro and more, in the quest for the very same fragments. These foes have no problem teaming up if it gets them closer to their ultimate goal of world domination.
“Marvel Universe LIVE! will be the most remarkable live event that the world has ever seen with an absolutely epic story line and jaw dropping technological advances. Fans will feel like they’ve stepped into a Marvel blockbuster film come to life with nonstop movie style action and stunts,” said Feld Entertainment Executive Vice President and Marvel Universe LIVE! Producer Juliette Feld. “We are working hand in hand with Marvel to give fans a revolutionary live show experience that introduces an original story that is faithful to the Marvel canon and utterly captivating from beginning to end!”

Audiences will see the awe-inspiring world of Super Heroes come to life before their eyes with a dynamic cast comprised of some of the industry’s most talented stunt performers. These true-to-comic creations will be supported by innovative lighting design and transformative 3D projection that will take the audience on a journey around the globe with these timeless characters. To support this massive undertaking, Marvel Universe LIVE! will not only utilize the entire arena floor, but also perform within a multilevel aerial space creating a unique experience that puts audiences right in the middle of the action in ways they could only dream about prior.
In other words it’s going to be AWESOME! Yes, I will be there, possibly wearing a cape. BTW- Attention FELD executives, if you need a blogger to come early, dress up and test equipment, let me know!!!
