Bachelor Live on Stage: 5 reasons to attend this event
By Ariba Bhuvad
The Bachelor Live on Stage is every Bachelor Nation’s dream come true–seriously.
The Bachelor Live on Stage tour kicked off in Mesa, Arizona the night before Valentine’s Day–and it was amazing. I was lucky enough to cover the event, and I honestly don’t have the words to describe just how much fun it was.
Imagine being in a room of a thousand or so people watching an episode of The Bachelor. That is exactly what this live event felt like. Between the jeering, shouting, excitement, and cheers, it was precisely like a watch party we have at home.
Co-hosted by Bachelor Nation’s Ben Higgins and Becca Kufrin, the night was one to remember. I must say, these two make fabulous hosts–and are absolutely hilarious. It is hard to imagine anyone else in their place.
Now, you might be asking–what exactly is Bachelor Live on Stage? In a nutshell, the event involves a local hometown guy and 10 local hometown women. They apply to be a part of the event, much like the series, and the live event basically plays through an entire season inclusive of all the things we love and adore about the franchise.
The goal isn’t really to end up engaged at the end of the night, but rather make a connection. What’s wonderful about the show is that we get all the staple parts of the franchise including rose ceremonies, group dates, challenges, and yes, fantasy suites too (more on that later).
It’s a condensed version of everything, but it is done in an enjoyable and exciting way. Any fan of the franchise will be hooked from start to finish, and buy loads of themed merchandise to go with it.
Obviously, there are a lot of reasons Bachelor Nation fans should go and check out this event, and we’ve got five of them for you right here. Trust us, you simply can’t miss it (and you probably won’t since it’s touring a total of 66 cities!).
