Following overwhelming demand for tickets after the success of the first ever UK shows in Nottingham and London, the spectacular live-action family arena production, Marvel Universe LIVE! Super Heroes Assemble, is giving fans in Birmingham an early festive treat by adding extra shows to its UK tour that touches down in the city this December.

Tickets for the three extra shows on 22nd, 23rd and 24th December at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham go on sale to the public at 9am on 22nd September.  Marvel Universe LIVE! will also work with local children’s charities in Birmingham to give kids a Christmas gift of attending these shows and having the full Marvel Universe LIVE! experience.

“We continue to be amazed, humbled and blown away by the market response to Marvel Universe LIVE! and have continued to work diligently with our partners across the UK to ensure that as many families as possible have the opportunity to enjoy this remarkable live show for the very first time. The audience will feel like they’ve been transported into the Marvel Universe, with an engrossing storyline and non-stop stunts”, said Steven Armstrong, VP of Europe North at Feld Entertainment, Inc.

This show is taking the live entertainment experience to a whole new level, with a performance unlike anything seen before. Bringing together the largest assembly of Marvel characters in a live production, audiences will be able to watch some of their idols step onto the stage - bringing the action to life right before their eyes.

Everyone can cheer for their favourite Marvel Super Heroes, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and more, as they battle Loki and Marvel’s most sinister villains in an action-packed arena performance for the whole family. It’s being hailed as the most technically advanced live show ever, with cutting-edge special effects, pyrotechnics, aerial stunts, martial arts, motorcycles and more.

After beginning its quest in Nottingham and London this September, Marvel Universe LIVE! will next swoop into the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham before visiting the Glasgow, then Sheffield and Manchester.

“To see all the elements of this spectacular live show come together has been truly incredible,” said Marvel’s Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada. “The technology utilised in the show is not only going to blow your mind, it is going to take you to a whole new Marvel world like nothing British families have ever seen before.”
