Dainty Consolidated Entertainment announced today that four-time Grammy Award winning rocker PAT BENATAR is confirmed to tour Australia in October with '80s all-female band THE BANGLES.

Direct from Europe, this world tour premiere brings to life the classic tale made famous by the eleven time Academy Award winning 1959 Hollywood movie 'Ben Hur' starring Charlton Heston. BEN HUR - The Stadium Spectacular combines the scale of the Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony with the drama of the slave who dared defy the Roman Empire. The monumental $15 million stadium adaptation has been crafted by renowned French director Robert Hossein and produced by STADEFRANCE Live Events.

A small American town like any other; simple, sleepy and cheerful. People here are like people anywhere else: they are born, they fall in love, they die. Ordinary people leading ordinary lives. Or so we might believe, until the Stage Manager - our guide for the evening - takes us on a tour of the town and we begin to glimpse how extraordinary even the most ordinary of lives can be.
