Fans of Home Alone, rejoice. The iconic Christmas movie is set to be played in cinemas alongside a live orchestra this festive season.

The beloved Christmas film stars Macaulay Culkin as eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, whose family go on holiday for Christmas and accidentally leave him behind.

Initially excited, Kevin enjoys the peace and quiet in his sprawling suburban Chicago home, until a couple of bumbling thieves (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) target it for robbery. Cue a flurry of epic one-liners and serious injuries.

The 1990 classic was scored by John Williams, whose impressive repertoire includes Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and many more.

Williams’s work on the Home Alone soundtrack is as iconic as the traps Kevin sets and features old Christmas classics, including Brenda Lee’s Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree, to drum up nostalgia, as well as original carols.
