Inaugural National Tour of Spider-Man™: Into the Spider-Verse Live in Concert to Launch August 27

 

More Than 60 Cities Will Have the Chance to See the Academy Award®-Winning Film Featuring The Broadway Sinfonietta - an All-Women Live Orchestra

 

Groundbreaking Soundtrack's Incredible Fusion of Orchestra, Turntables, Scratch DJ and Electronics Performed Live

LOS ANGELES – JUNE 13, 2023 – An all-new national tour launching August 27 in Jacksonville, Florida will bring fans in more than 60 cities a whole new way to experience their favorite box office hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The Academy Award-winning film from Sony Pictures Animation will be accompanied by a live orchestra, band and turntables with a scratch DJ playing music from the score and soundtrack. Joining the tour is The Broadway Sinfonietta, an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra. Emily Marshall will serve as the tour's conductor. Today's tour announcement comes on the heels of the show's sold-out world premiere at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn this past March. Now, the concert tour will spin and weave its way through the U.S. Preview the event here.

 The film's music score was composed by Academy Award® nominee, multiple Golden Globe®-nominee and Emmy-winning composer Daniel Pemberton, known for his work on movies such as The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Oceans 8, Enola Holmes, The Bad Guys and Steve Jobs.

 

"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of my favorite scores I've ever written," said Pemberton. "Utilizing a full orchestra, crazy electronics and unbelievable turntable scratching techniques amongst a million other things is so technically complex, I never thought we'd ever be able to actually reproduce it in a live setting; but somehow, we have. I am ridiculously excited for fans around the country to see their very first Spider-Verse concert later this year."

 The hip-hop infused film score contains original music showcasing elements of heroism, resilience and is complemented by song contributions from industry greats Post Malone, Lil Wayne, Jaden Smith and Nicki Minaj.
