Lord of the Rings Opens on Live Stage

The 30 million Canadian dollar production has taken four years to put together, and the performance lasts three and a half hours.  Directed by Matthew Warchus, critics are saying the adaptation of the JRR Tolkien book was "largely incomprehensible."

Lord of the Rings is being presented at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto, and includes 55 artists, 17 elevators and 500 costumes.
