Disclosure: I received tickets for my family to attend Marvel Universe LIVE! in exchange for sharing my experience. As always, I only recommend products and events that I truly love.
When I received an invite to go and see Marvel Universe LIVE!, I was intrigued. Honestly, I’ve seen a lot of princess shows over the year, but superhero shows? Not so much. Then again, since Everett is my youngest, I’m still kind of new to being a mom to a superhero loving boy. I wasted no time in RSVPing, but couldn’t shake the question, “What is Marvel Universal LIVE?”
Turns out…it’s really quite spectacular!
Marvel Universe LIVE! is a 2 hour superhero-filled, action-packed arena floor show that your child won’t forget. Even better, it’s not a story you’ve ever seen before in comics or movies, this is a brand new original story, featuring over 25 of your favorite Marvel characters and villains live on one stage.
With Loki up to his old tricks, SpiderMan, the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy join forces with Doctor Strange, master of the mystic arts, in a race against time to recover the Wand of Watoomb and defend the universe from evil. You see, the Wand of Watoomb is an artifact that holds immeasurable power and would allow Loki to achieve his eternal quest to crown himself ruler of Asgard and Earth. After the cry, “Avengers (and friends) assemble!”, the heroes are joined together in an epic quest which has lots of twists and turns along the way.
My superhero loving little boy was thrilled to see Spider-Man, The Hulk, Black Panther, and so many others on stage. It was absolute heaven for him from start to finish and the first thing he told his friends about when he arrived at school the next morning. But you know what? My no-so-superhero-savvy girls loved it too! The story line was basic enough (good vs. evil) for my 5 year old son to grasp, but detailed (new feuds with old foes, pitting student against mentor, sister against sister and brother against brother) to keep my 7 and 9 year old daughters on the edge of their seats. And while I was a little concerned – as I am whenever villains are involved – this show isn’t a scary show at all. It truly is made all ages.
In fact, if I’m being totally honest, I really loved this show. It was so different than everything we’ve seen at this venue in past and that was refreshing. But it’s not just the characters or story line that make this show amazing, there are stunning video projections, pyrotechnics, aerial acrobatics, cycle stunts, and fire dancers. Yes, I said fire dancers!
If you’re on the fence about taking your family to Marvel Universe LIVE! or maybe just unsure as to exactly what type of show it is, my advice is to go and see it. This show has something for absolutely everyone!
