Break-dancing London icons and a Hollywood-style monster are just two of the features that will take centre stage in the all new Top Gear Live theatre show, set to wow motoring fans in four continents around the world.
听
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May plus members of the Top Gear production team will bring to life elements of the TV show as a live motoring theatre experience.听
听
The live motoring performance will incorporate the drama of theatre and film with the thrills and spills of stunts and special effects.
听
The Top Gear Live theatre show will comprise up to 16 different scenes or sequences. The Top Gear presenters will play host and in the spirit of the 'ambitious but not always successful' Top Gear style, will undertake a number of activities to amuse visitors.
听
Other scenes will feature breath-taking stunts and driving sequences from some of the world鈥檚 best precision drivers plus live versions of regular formats of the Top Gear programme.听 A taste of what you can expect includes:
听
Donut London
What would London look like if ruled by Top Gear? You'd think we would banish all traffic wardens and launch speed cameras into space to confuse passing aliens, but we were thinking of something on much larger scale! Watch this space to see traditional London icons such as the black cab, route-master bus and red telephone box travel as you've never seen them before!
听
The Top Gear Lap
Every visitor to the show will get a chance to set a time around the Top Gear test track, live in the arena. With commentary from Clarkson and the support of 5,000 fellow audience members each performance, how far up the virtual Top Gear Live lap board can the audience get?
听
Even once the time is scribbled on the board the challenge doesn't end. Can London keep its best time above Johannesburg? Will Australia's fastest conquer New Zealand's?
听
The Cool Wall
Ever found yourself shouting at the TV when Clarkson lays into a car you love? Ever wished you could agree with Hammond championing the Porsche 911, or try and have the Aston DB9 removed from the Sub Zero section of the cool wall? At this year's Top Gear Live the voice of the people will be heard as the audience debate with the presenters who makes it on to The Cool Wall.
听
Swampy
Every Hollywood blockbuster has a terrifying monster. Well, some do. And we're no exception, in that we do...
听
Not much is known about the creature codenamed 'Swampy'. Some say he is a government accident, a terrible creation born in a secret military weapons lab. A secret so awful an entire town was destroyed to conceal it.
听
All we know is that if rumour is true, and 'Swampy' has found his way into the city, we know of only one man/thing who could stop it; The STIG. Swampy takes on The Stig in an awesome driving spectacular that will make up the finale of the inaugural Top Gear Live theatre show.
听
Top Gear Live will premiere in the UK to run in London and Birmingham as a component of the successful MPH Performance and Prestige Motor show and has plans to be rolled out in up to 15 countries around the world within the next 12 months.
听
Dublin, Johannesburg, Sydney, Auckland and Hong Kong are confirmed venues to host the new show with dates shortly to be announced across the Middle East and Europe.听
听
Top Gear Live will be an annual event with more countries added to the bill each year.
