Review of Marvel Universe LIVE!

We were lucky enough to go and see Marvel Universe LIVE! Age of Heroes at the Eagle Bank Arena in Fairfax, VA. I admit that I am not much of a super hero fan. My children know all the characters (and villains) and their traits, but I personally have a hard time remembering the details from one movie to the next. With this in mind, Marvel Universe LIVE! Age of Heroes was one of the most incredible live action and visually stimulating shows that I have ever seen. 

The show follows a plot where the powerful Wand of Watoomb was stolen by Nebula for Loki to use to become the most powerful, evil leader in the universe. The Marvel Heroes fight back against the bad guys (and girls) to restore goodness. The show is packed with cutting edge special effects and amazing aerial stunts. 

Some of our favorite moments from the show included:

• The Motorized Bike Scene: Heroes and villains took to motor bikes to perform stunts and on bikes that included some very impressive jumps in the air. 
• Spiderman: Spiderman is as nimble as ever. He delivers a comedic punch with some funny one-liners, but his acrobatics high on the wires were really impressive.
• The Showdown at K'un-Lun: This scene contains a well choreographed fire dance and drums.
• All of the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy: Everyone shows up to help save the day. The show is definitely heavy on characters and Groot and Rocket Raccoon seem to be fan favorites.

Age recommendation: We would recommend the program for ages 5 and up, especially Marvel fans. We noticed younger children in the audience, but the show does contain a lot of loud sound effects, music and flashing lights. Although there is a ton of violence (fake fighting,) if your children know and love the Marvel characters, it's probably not scary.
