About 160 people will appear on stage at the London Coliseum, donning a total of 500 costumes.But the star is likely to be a 36ft-long ship, which will only just fit into the building and weighs over a tonne so the stage floor has had to be reinforced.Tour manager Paul Godfrey said: "It's a very big show. I saw it in Moscow a couple of weeks ago and it's one of the most dramatic pieces of theatre I've seen in an awfully long time. It's very exciting."MORE ABOUTBalletBill NighyEnglish National BalletEnglish National OperaOrlando BloomPirates Of The Caribbean
