Marvel Universe Live!, stylized as Marvel Universe LIVE!, is a touring live action arena show featuring Marvel Comics characters by Feld Entertainment.

Marvel's previous licensed theatrical show, Turn Off the Dark, a Broadway musical, was plagued by several injures. The movie licenses currently do not restrict the licensed out Marvel characters' appearances in a theatrical presentation like an arena show.^[1]

History

In March 2013, Feld Entertainment agreed with Marvel Entertainment to produce a Marvel Character-based live arena show.^[2] For nearly two years, development and engineering had been underway for the show.^[1] In September 2013, regional casting calls began in Los Angeles with another set held in Las Vegas, New York and in Orlando in October.^[3] In October 2013, at New York Comic Con, Marvel and Feld revealed that the arena show would be Marvel Universe LIVE!^[4] In February 2014, the performers were cast and rehearsals began at Feld's facility in Ellenton. Martial artists, aerial performers, X Games competitors and stunt people was the pool from which the cast was selected.^[1]

On July 10, 2014, Marvel Universe Live! premiered at the Tampa Bay Times Forum with showing there until July 13. The show has an initial 85-city national tour.^[1] The show's world premiere follows on August 13 at New York City’s Barclays Center. After Tampa, Florida and New York City, the show will stay on the east coast which includes stops at Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Nashville, Miami, and Atlanta.^[5]

A new Marvel Universe Live! show, "Age of Heroes", was announced by Feld in May 2017. The tour had a soft launch in New Orleans from June 23–25 before heading out West for the summer. Age of Heroes debuted at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on July 7, 2017. Then Age of Heroes went to the Midwest in the fall follow by Canada and circling the USA until early 2019 when the show goes over seas.^[6]
