The movie will be shown with the music played live by the Barbie Land Sinfonietta, conducted by Macy Schmidt. It is an “all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra,” according to a press release.
Released in July 2023, the movie “Barbie” has grossed about $1.5 billion, worldwide. It will compete for eight Academy Awards — including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Ryan Gosling), Best Supporting Actress (America Ferrera) and Best Original Song (“I’m Just Ken,” “What Was I Made For?”) — in this year’s ceremony, which takes place on March 10.
The tour is scheduled to run from July 2 to Aug. 18. For information, visit barbiethemovieinconcert.com.
