MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. — Calling all Barbies and Kens! If seeing Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" in theatres wasn't "Kenough" for you, experience the movie like never before when "Barbie The Movie: In Concert" comes this summer to Maryland Heights.
Watch "Barbie" come to life before your eyes as the Barbie Land Sinfonietta performs the award-winning film score live along with the film, which will be projected on a giant LED screen above them on the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre stage.
The presentation from Orchestrator and Executive Producer Mary Schmidt features an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra.
“Music lends so much heart and excitement to the Barbie film; between the stunning and clever orchestral score and the upbeat iconic pop soundtrack, music is carrying us through the story," Schmidt said in a statement. “On top of getting to experience the film unlike ever before, 'Barbie The Movie: In Concert' audiences will have the privilege of watching some of the world’s best musicians come together and do what they do best. Throughout this entire process, I’ve been so inspired by Mattel’s genuine commitment to everything this film stands for. I am particularly excited to be partnering with Mattel as I have long been inspired by Barbie’s purpose statement: ‘to inspire the limitless potential in every girl.’ It couldn’t be more aligned to have an all-women orchestra performing this film, bringing its message to life onstage.’”
The Barbie Land Sinfonietta will take the stage 8 p.m. Saturday, July 13 at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre.
A ticket presale for Citi cardmembers begins 10 a.m. Tuesday, with additional presales running throughout the week. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday via Ticketmaster.
“We can’t wait for fans of all ages to join us in this immersive experience, celebrating the biggest movie of 2023 and bringing the magic of Barbie to life like never before,” Chief Franchise Officer at Mattel Josh Silverman said. “The incredible talents of Macy Schmidt and the Barbie Land Sinfonietta guarantee an unparalleled and unforgettable adventure.”
