The show will be created by a team that includes Broadway producer Robin de Levita, whose Soldier of Orange stage show in Holland has the audience seated in a rotating auditorium.
Tim Palen of Lionsgate said in a statement the Hunger Games show will use “world-class production values and state-of-the-art technology” to give fans “a uniquely immersive experience.”
The Hunger Games movies are based on the novels by Suzanne Collins. The first two films have grossed more than $1.5 billion worldwide. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 opens Nov. 21 and the second part opens next year.
