WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah, March 4, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — A newly announced tour, “Barbie The Movie: In Concert,” will be coming to the America First Credit Union Amphitheatre on July 18, Mattel and Overture Global Entertainment announced Monday.
Described as a “live-to-film concert experience,” the event will feature a screening of the Warner Bros. Pictures film “Barbie,” accompanied live by the Barbie Land Sinfonietta, an all-woman orchestra featuring a majority of women of color.
“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,” says a summary from Live Nation. “Fans of all ages can celebrate the music of 2023’s highest-grossing film in a one-of-a-kind immersive experience, with the tour also featuring specialty limited-edition merchandise, photo opportunities, and more.”
