ove Actually, the seasonal romcom that has become a revelation and synonymous for so many with the festive period, will tour the UK in winter 2021 with a full orchestra performing its soundtrack live to picture, in what is becoming an annual highlight of the holiday calendar.
The tour will begin at the Bath Forum on 2nd December, before calling at Poole, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sheffield, York, Hull, London’s Eventim Apollo, Nottingham, Manchester, and Liverpool before finishing in Birmingham.
Love Actually In Concert has garnered sold out audiences in previous years, with the Shropshire Star describing it as ‘… a wonderfully-magical night that really got everyone into the Christmas spirit’; whilst the Nottingham Post commented the performance was ‘Funny, heart-wrenching and downright cheeky on occasion the musicians do not just provide the background noise but all have their moments to shine.’
Directed by Richard Curtis and originally released in cinemas in 2003, Love Actually tells ten separate yet interweaving stories of love around Christmas time.
The film features an all-star ensemble cast, including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley Rowan Atkinson, Martin Freeman, and many more.
A full, live orchestra will perform Craig Armstrong’s evocative score at these shows, with the film being projected onto a huge screen. Armstrong is one of the UK’s most recognised film composers, with his work being awarded a BAFTA for his Achievement in Film Music.
