Fast and Furious live arena tour set to launch following franchise success
Universal is set to launch a live Fast and Furious arena tour.
Following the huge global success of the film franchise, a stage show re-enacting many of the most famous scenes from the movies is set to launch early next year.
In partnership with Brand Events, who were behind Top Gear Live, Fast & Furious Live will take place in arenas all over the world, bringing fans the ‘ultimate adrenaline rush’.
The touring show will kick off in January 2018 and will feature cars from all seven of the films, performing some of the best-known stunts.
Sets will include the underground streets of Los Angeles as well as locations featured throughout the franchise.
“Fast & Furious Live will transform the live-entertainment industry in the same way the global box-office franchise has redefined the action genre,” said Vince Klaseus, President, Universal Brand Development.
“Fans will experience everything they love about the films in an up-close and incredibly cool live show, putting them in the center of the action.”
The franchise, which kicked off back in 2001 with the original film, has made an impressive $3.9 billion worldwide at the box office.
The last film, released in 2015, became one of the fastest films of all time to reach £1 billion worldwide.
The eighth film in the franchise, simply titled Fast and Furious 8, is slated for release on April 14.
