Fuck YES.

Goddammit now I want to get to a Ben Hur show if at all possible. Especially as it looks like Italy and Cali are pretty much out for me...

Cool!

Although -- isn't (or, at least, wasn't) the narrator supposed to be narrating in each country's native language -- which in this case means English, French, German, Italian, Hungarian, Portuguese, and Spanish?

Latin and Aramaic sounding pretty easy by comparison.


ETA: Or am I misreading, and Stewart is just narrating the opening night(s) at the O2?

According to St. Jeff, Stewart is only narrating the London shows. Might be time to cash in my frequent flyer miles. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ;)

Con, you gotta really think about doing this! We need a US Nutter to represent and I can't *even* imagine how cool it's going to be to hear his voice booming out through the whole arena narrating such an epic tale that includes floods, animals, chariots and orgies! :lol:





(And, Stingo was afraid of having him mic'd during Tourzilla.....mwahahahahaha) :mrgreen:

It's definitely doable. I have enough miles for the dates of the shows and my old boss just moved over there so I have a place to stay.
