Python gig to air at 450 UK cinemas
...and 1,500 around the world
The Last Night Of The Pythons gig at London’s O2 Arena is to be broadcast to 1,500 cinemas around the world.
In the UK alone, more than 450 cinemas will take the live feed of the July 20 gig.
The date is the last of ten they are performing at the arena. The first date sold out within a minute, despite tickets costing up to £95. Cleese said: ‘The response to our planned reunion has been very, very silly. But, we're all touched that so many fans still want to see such old people perform.’
Marc Allenby of Picturehouse Entertainment, which secured the international distribution rights for cinemas, said the event would ‘push the boundaries of live cinema broadcasts’.
