‘Barbie The Movie: In Concert™’ North American Tour kicks off this summer

“Barbie The Movie: In Concert™” will hit the road this summer, featuring a live orchestra performing alongside a screening of the film.

Macy Schmidt and the Barbie Land Sinfonietta, an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra, will perform the Barbie score live at each stop of the 37-city tour, which kicks off on July 2nd in Tampa, Florida. The North American trek will also feature concerts in St. Louis, Denver, Nashville, Toronto, and a previously announced date in Los Angeles.

According to a press release, “the record-smashing film will be projected onto a giant LED screen above The Barbie Land Sinfonietta as they perform the film’s award-winning score. 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. 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.”

Schmidt said: “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.”
