- Ben-Hur was an 1899 theatrical adaptation of the novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880) by Lew Wallace. The story was dramatized by William W. Young and produced by Marc Klaw and A. L. Erlanger. The stage production was notable for its elaborate use of spectacle, including live horses for the famous chariot race. The hippodrama had six acts with incidental music written by American composer Edgar Stillman Kelley. The stage production opened at the Broadway Theater in New York City on November 29, 1899, and became a hit Broadway show. Traveling versions of the production, including a national tour that ran for twenty-one years, played in the United States, Great Britain, and Australia. By the end of its run in April 1920, the play had been seen by more than twenty million people and earned over $10 million at the box office. There have been other stage adaptations of Wallace's novel, as well as several motion picture versions. (en)
- Ben-Hur è un adattamento teatrale del 1899 del romanzo Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ del generale Lew Wallace. La versione teatrale, drammatizzata da William Young e prodotta da Marc Klaw and A. L. Erlanger, andò in scena in prima al Broadway Theatre (41st Street) di New York il 29 novembre 1899 accompagnata dalle musiche del compositore statunitense Edgar Stillman Kelley. Ambientato nella Gerusalemme del primo secolo, lo spettacolo era diviso in un prologo e sei atti. La produzione teatrale, grandiosa ed elaborata, incontrò i gusti di un pubblico entusiasta che ne decretò il successo. Versioni itineranti della produzione di Klaw & Erlanger girarono per ventun anni portando lo spettacolo dall'America all'Australia, passando per il Regno Unito, arrivando alla fine a contare almeno venti milioni di spettatori che avevano assistito alle recite di Ben-Hur con un guadagno al botteghino che era arrivato a toccare i dieci milioni di dollari.
