Hunger Games fans, get excited: The movie's very own theatre show is officially coming to London.

A 1,300-seater, custom-built venue created solely for the production - including a 360-degree rotating stage - has been given planning permission.

It will be built as part of a redevelopment of the area around Wembley Stadium, according to the Evening Standard.

The rotating design is the creation of Tony and Olivier Award-winning producer Robin de Levita.

He said: "I'm thrilled to be partnering with a studio like Lionsgate on something that resonates so deeply with audiences. The theatre is a fantastic medium to bring the many meaningful layers of Suzanne Collins's writing to life."

The Hunger Games' stage show will open in summer 2016.
