Marvel Universe Live!

Hi, everybody!  As I told you last week, there are a TON of awesome circus shows passing through Atlanta this month, and I’ll be taking time to highlight some of those for you.  People often associate circus with one of two really big names, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey or Cirque du Soleil, but there is soooooooo much more to the world of circus now than ever before!  The one I’d like to highlight this week is for all of my nerds out there (and I say that with love in my heart, as a fellow nerd), Marvel Universe Live!

Marvel Universe Live! is an action packed touring arena show that combines ground acrobatics, pyrotechnics, aerial stunts, and motorcycle tricking for one mind blowing multi sensory experience!  Founded in 2013, this show runs at approximately one hour and 45 minutes, with a (supposedly lengthy) intermission.  Spider-Man, the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy join forces with Doctor Strange, master of the mystic arts, in a race against time to recover the Wand of Watoomb before it falls into Loki’s hands.  Combining 25 different Marvel superheroes and villains, this show unites some of Marvel’s greatest super heroes including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, Hulk and Black Widow against some of the most threatening villains.  The show is suitable for children of all ages but does feature brief moments of black out, loud noises, pyrotechnics, and some strobe effects.  The show ALSO features some ridiculously priced Marvel merchandise everywhere you look…you’ve been warned…you’re welcome. 

If interested in attending one of these live action shows, Marvel Universe Live! will be at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Sunday, February 17 and Monday, February 18.  Next week, we’ll be delving into the world of super contemporary, grassroots American circus, so stay tuned!   ~Angelica  0=)
