Classic movie franchise inspires worldwide tour, which is set to debut next year.

By re-creating the underground streets of Los Angeles in multiple locations across the globe, the new show will aim to transport fans into some of the franchise’s most memorable scenes and stunts through blockbuster set designs, authentic digital projections and physical obstacles.

“‘

The global “

Fast & Furious

Live” tour is set to debut in January 2018. Further details, including tour stops, will be announced at a later date.

“In addition to its arrival as a global live-arena tour, the launch of ‘

Fast & Furious

Live’

represents Universal’s significant expansion of our franchises into entertainment channels that are as unexpected as they are innovative,” says David O’Connor, executive vice president, global franchise management and brand marketing, Universal Pictures. “By bringing our series to audiences in entirely new formats, we are not simply growing brand portfolios, we are delivering incredibly exciting ways for fans to participate in the worlds our characters inhabit.”
