Scenes from Ben Hur (prologue and six acts) written by William Young from the novel by General Lew Wallace, and produced at the Broadway Theatre, New York City, featuring Edward Morgan and Carona Riccardo, having run for 194 performances from Nov. 29, 1899 to Mary 1900
As soon as Ben-Hur was published in 1880, the public clamored for a stage version. But its author refused for many years, and then he was eventually convinced to allow a spotlight to shine on the stage to represent Christ, and in 1899 the first stage production appeared on Broadway. This production was known for its amazing special effects including a shipwreck and a chariot race with real horses.
