A live concert of Joker is coming to London in February. Here’s how you can get tickets now.
Let’s put a smile on that face – yes, we know that’s the wrong film – this winter, a live concert of Todd Phillips’s Joker will be coming to London for a one-off screening.
The ground-breaking supervillain film is set to be shown at London’s Royal Festival Hall in February while an orchestra performs the soundtrack live on stage.
Starring Joaquin Phoenix as the titular villain, Joker is an intensely dark dive into one of the most loved and feared villains of all time; telling the story of Arthur Fleck, a troubled man struggling to find his way in Gotham City’s fractured society, the movie takes a disturbing look at the brutal realities of mental health, crime, and class divides.
First coming out in 2019, Joker was hailed for its gruelling reimagining of an already iconic character and won multiple BAFTAs and Academy Awards for its lead actor and, in particular, its soundtrack.
Joker won Best Original Music/Score at both thanks to the work put in by composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, and it’s his efforts that will be celebrated at the live concert. On the subject of this upcoming show, Guðnadóttir said: “I’m thrilled to get to see and hear Joker with a live orchestra. When we recorded the music, the orchestra brought such depth and detailed attention to the performances that we were all literally holding our breaths during most of the recording sessions. It was a beautiful trip. I’m so happy to get to go there again and for an audience to experience that too.”
Meanwhile, director Todd Phillips added: “I speak for the entire Joker team when I say how thrilled we are to be working with Senbla on Joker – Live In Concert. I think its a wonderful way for audiences to experience Hildur Guðnadóttir‘s haunting and immersive score while bearing witness to Joaquin Phoenix’s descent into madness as Arthur.”
For those who weren’t aware, a sequel of Joker will be coming out in October 2024 starring Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. So, if you’re excited for that why not fill the time by re-watching the original on the big screen. Here’s what you need to know.
