Australian Facebook fans win the battle to get Ben 10 to their town!

Cartoon Network’s BEN 10 LIVE: Time Machine launches in the April school holidays. For the first time, see the three Cartoon Network series’ Ben 10, Ben 10 Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, in one live theatre event for the whole family.
 
Jan. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Cartoon Network’s BEN 10 LIVE Arena Show was the runaway hit of 2010, selling over 75,000 tickets in just three weeks.  But what really amazed Cartoon Network was the unprecedented online campaigning by hundreds of young fans demanding the Ben 10 tour visit their city too.

“We’ve been using social media for a couple of years to promote our shows, but the sheer volume of feedback we received for Cartoon Network’s BEN 10 LIVE was staggering”, said Executive Producer, Luke Gallagher. “We were petitioned on Facebook to bring BEN 10 LIVE to other locations.  The biggest campaign came from Tasmania but there were requests from fans located all over the country.  The Arena Show was so big that we couldn’t possibly tour it further afield, so we started developing a whole new theatrical production with our partners, Cartoon Network.”

The result is Cartoon Network’s BEN 10 LIVE: Time Machine, launching in Victoria and Tasmania in the April school holidays.  For the very first time, the three Cartoon Network series’ Ben 10, Ben 10 Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, are featured in one live theatre event for the whole family.

Cartoon Network’s BEN 10 LIVE: Time Machine features the world’s favourite boy-hero Ben Tennyson on an adventure through time and space to keep the Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix safe from the clutches of his foes.  

Starring Ben Tennyson, his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max, Cartoon Network’s BEN 10 LIVE: Time Machine also includes Ben’s alien superheroes Four Arms, Diamondhead, Swampfire, Big Chill and one of his awesome new Ultimate Aliens, alongside love-to-hate faves Vilgax, the Highbreed Commander, the DNAliens and The Forever Knights. With great special effects, awesome costumes and super-cool stunts, Cartoon Network’s BEN 10 LIVE: Time Machine sees Ben Tennyson on a mission to save the past, present and future of the universe!

Ben 10 is one of Cartoon Network’s most popular TV properties and is watched in over 2.9 million homes in Australia and New Zealand.  You can watch episodes from the hugely successful Ben 10 franchise daily on Cartoon Network.
