Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner. You can be sure that Michael Bublé is slowly defrosting in preparation to croon the festive season away – just as you know that the battered DVD of that one particular 2003 British rom-com at your mum’s house will also be back on steady rotation. For die-hard fans of Love Actually this festive hit will never get old, but if you’re after a way to make the movie feel fresh all over again, you’ll want to grab a ticket for this special live viewing experience. Love Actually in Concert is returning to Australia for four nights across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth just in time for Old Saint Nick’s next whip around.
Pack the tissues – at this MA15+ experience, a full live orchestra performs the hit soundtrack with Sarah-Grace Wiliams (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) and Craig Dalton (Perth) conducting as the film is projected onto a screen. Love (and Christmas) will be all around you.
Get ready to question how many lobsters were present at the birth of Jesus Christ and get mad at Alan Rickman all over again (Emma Thompson’s cry to Joni Mitchell will really slap with an orchestral back up, to be fair).
Aussie fans can get in on the holly jolly action in December. Perth locals are up first, with a session on Wednesday, December 9 at Riverside Theatre, followed by Melburnians, who'll enjoy the event on Friday, December 11 at Plenary, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Brisbanites can lock in a Monday session on December 14 at Great Hall, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. And Sydneysiders can catch the experience from 7.30pm on Thursday, December 17 at the Darling Harbour Theatre at the ICC with The Metropolitan Orchestra.
