Ben Hur question for Dietmar

[luddite lady]

As narrator will Stewart be a disembodied voice booming over the sound system, or at any time will he be visible in the arena and dressed in period costume?
I know you are particularly spoiler-phobic these days, Dietmar. However, I think any information in this regard would qualify as a health warning rather than a spoiler. The sight of Stewart in a toga or other flimsy imperial Roman garb could cause extensive damage to an unsuspecting heart. I wouldn't want half of the London Coven ending up in a cardiac ward on the night of the premiere.

S P O I L E R ! ! S P O I L E R ! !



Don't know about a costume, don't think there'll be any.
The bad news is that Stewart won't really narrate the whole London premiere.
He'll start for real, but then his pre-recorded narration will take over.

Probably just as well otherwise the production would be over in about 15 minutes!!

Mr Copeland:
Le envío energía positiva sincera,narrador.
Sólo hágalo!,está mas allá de la gloria policera y aquí,palpable,manejable.
Y sólo un empleo mas.
Total, la vida sigue después de esto.
Y si hacés un album de rock?
Mucha vuelta con Police.mejor algo nuevo,fácil,del alma....
Dietmar: sos un buen biógrafo (no choques con José ,please.Ambos son buena gente y capaces).
Tenga un buen día todo este grupo tan vital.

You're very, very considerate of our delicate health LL Bless you. But I assure you that the only risk to our wellbeing posed by Mr Copeland in 'flimsy imperial Roman garb' would be from rupturing something vital whilst convulsing in giggles (I'm guessing this would be a pan-gender reaction). That is a serious risk, however, so I'm grateful that Dietmar has reassured us that we aren't in any obvious danger.

Thanks Dietmar. I find the information about the pre-recorded narration very interesting. I believe it will be quite a challenge to keep all the action in synch with the narration, particularly considering there are so many animals involved. Still, it's better than having Ben Hur turning to Stewart every few minutes and mouthing "Slow down!"

Smudge, I get your point about the giggle hazard posed by Stewart in period dress. Nonetheless, based on his final moments on stage at MSG, I think he still has enough thunk-ability left in him to cause some concern for those of us with a family history of frail hearts.

HA HA HA HA I thought of the exact same clip!

And I"m sort of glad that STEWART will not appear in a toga because I really didn't want to have to sell a kidney and book last minute plane tickets to see it.

[Dietmar]

I didn't rule out that Stewart will appear in Toga, I said that I don't know anything about that !!

[HalcyonLisa]

oh now who can I text the word Toga to when he appears on the opening night

Adidng Ben Hur to Andy Summers and Sting on the list of performers who have asked Stewart to slow down. I am seeing the image in Stewart's Does Everyone Stare movie when Andy tells Stewart to slow down during a song.
