`SING' LOW, SWEET CHARIOT: `BEN-HUR' BECOMES A MUSICAL

ORLANDO, Fla. (Wireless Flash) -- A new stage musical version of "Ben-Hur" is giving new meaning to the term "sing" low, sweet chariot. "Ben-Hur: The Musical" will debut in Orlando, Florida, on November 13 and, amazingly, it will depict the complete story of Ben-Hur, including the famous chariot race. Although the stage production will feature live camels and horses, the actual chariot race will be done with eight life-size animatronic horses who, at the climax of the race, will charge into the audience. If the "Ben-Hur" musical is a hit, producers hope to ride the horses straight to Broadway.
