Turning an animated show into a live action stage production is a challenge at the best of times, but Ben 10, with its sweeping story arcs, alien transformations, special effects and fight sequences was a real conundrum. After the success of CN Live’s first major touring show Cartoonival, Cartoon Network & Millennium Entertainment set John the challenge of creating a live version of Ben 10.He also worked with Executive Producer & Director Kym Halpin on the multi-media show elements with artwork from the series and graphics created by the Cartoon Network studios. John was the show creator & script writer, music & soundtrack producer and voice director. The arena scale event toured internationally throughout South East Asia and the Middle East, and also did a multi-city Australian tour. It featured live actors, giant sized alien costumes, acrobats & stunt performers in a state-of-the-art multi-media stage production. Ben 10 Power of the Omnitrix was Cartoon Network’s first large-scale theatrical event for one of their most successful animated creations.
