veritas
I was seduced by the idea that it was a hit in Paris over 6 nights.
I travelled 60 minutes to a hideous Olympic stadium (just like you will have in London...cold concrete and rediculous shows like this to try and pay for the white elephant )to see a show no better than a school performance waiting 90 minutes for the silly finale...the chariot race. What a let down. Any day at the races is more exciting.
No orgies, crucifixtions, blood or gore (because of kids !) The old movie a thousand times better.
Even more insulting..they fed the media with crisps and Coca Cola
