MK REVIEW: Marvel Universe Live! Age of Heroes plus 20%off

By Sylvina Nakarnadi - Macaroni Kid Covina-West Covina July 15, 2017

We are thrilled to see the newest production from Feld Entertainment makes its way to Los Angeles area. What could be more exciting than seeing The Marvel Super Heroes The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy teamed up and battled it out against some of the most powerful villains in the universe? Nothing! Get ready to watch some of your favorite Marvel Super Heroes such as Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Black Panther along with The Guardian of the Galaxy that includes Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Drax and Groot all under one roof.

From the start, the show mesmerized the audience with an excellent use of video projection and special effects combined with sophisticatedly choreographed moves. It’s packed with tons of laser shows, acrobatics, martial art stunts, motorcycle tricks and even pyrotechnics that are intricately designed to synchronize well from the video projection to the stage.

    

Our child, a huge fan of Spiderman, screamed out of joy when he saw Spiderman coming to live right from behind the video projector. Nobody expected it at all and it was definitely a cool trick that the kids will remember for quite some time. Our little one was so impressed that it’s one of the scenes that he kept talking about during our ride back home and even the day after. Adults appreciate the mischievous side of Spiderman too since there is a lot of laughter when Spiderman springs into action.

    

The storyline is well thought of and it is pretty obvious that although the show is catered toward kids, it is also programmed with adults audience in mind as both kids and adults alike enjoy the show. Kids dig the fact that their favorite superheroes come to live by swinging back and forth, flying and showing their superheroes skills while adults feast their eyes on all the cool special effects both on the video projector and on stage and all the breathtaking pyrotechnics. I have to admit that this show is one of the best that I’ve seen this far and it is also undeniably one of the few shows that use countless pyrotechnics. You can even see a few fireworks right in the center of the stage. How awesome!  

  

All the superheroes have the chance to shine on the stage without being outshined by other characters, which is considered a hard task to do with all these amazing superheroes gathered together under one roof. Kids can be heard cheering in support of their favorite superheroes now and then. Our little one didn’t want the show to end and was hoping that they’ll all come back after another short intermission. This means that the show is a success! We hope to see another superb production like this again in the near future.
