US GENRE-BENDING LIVE ENTERTAINMENT SENSATION TO MAKE EUROPEAN DEBUT AT RIVERSIDE STUDIOS 6 JUNE – 13 AUGUST
Los Angeles-based live entertainment company For the Record will present the European debut of their smash-hit show Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five & The Tyranny of Evil Men at Riverside Studios this summer, with a 10-week season at Studio 2 at the Hammersmith venue, playing from 6 June – 13 August, with a press night on Tuesday, 13 June. Tickets go on sale, however, from today, Tuesday 18 April, people can go to leading global entertainment discovery platform, Fever, to be added to the waitlist which will allow them early access to purchase general tickets.
Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five & The Tyranny of Evil Men is a one-of-a-kind, adrenaline-fueled, genre-bending theatrical performance, combining Tarantino’s most iconic film scenes with live rock ‘n’ roll renditions of songs pulled straight from his legendary film albums; less a traditional movie-based musical, more a character driven concert that seamlessly merges the world of Hollywood and musical theatre into a 360-degree live-concert experience. The diverse company of artists from stage, record and screen will be announced in the coming weeks.
Follow the “Fox Force Five”—a group of fierce female superwomen popularized by Pulp Fiction—as they join forces to take care of business and fight the Tyranny of Evil Men with Tarantino’s quintessential soundtrack in the background.
From Reservoir Dogs to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino’s iconic style and vintage soundtracks are the gold standard of retro cool. This rock ‘n’ soul concert is a spiderweb of hitmen, gangsters and assassins slaying vinyl classics like “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Stuck in the Middle With You,” “Bang Bang,” and many more. The show encompasses Tarantino’s entire cinematic universe spanning over 30 years.
Studio 2 will be transformed into a cinematic, rock n roll playground where the sights, sounds, and even the flavours take inspiration from the Tarantino Universe. From the setlist to the drink list, TARANTINO LIVE is a total sensory experience that comes in a variety of Reservoir Dog coloured tiers. Audiences can choose from “Mr. Brown” and “Mr. Pink” for the most accessible levels (£29-£39), or “Mr. Black” for stage-side VIP table seating with drink service.
Shane Scheel, Executive Producer and co-creator of For the Record, said, “We have long been searching for the perfect opportunity to introduce For The Record to London. We are thrilled to bring the show to Riverside Studios, where the arts intersect in a historic film studio, and be a part of their rich history. Our team is enthusiastic about bringing our distinctive style of immersive theatre to London audiences and becoming a part of the vibrant creative community.”
