Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Live in Concert Coming to Mahalia Jackson Theater

A live concert event showcasing the Academy Award-winning film from Sony Pictures Animation, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Live in Concert, will visit Mahalia Jackson Theater on Saturday, September 16, while on tour around the country.

During the event, a screening of the movie will be accompanied by a live orchestra, band and turntables with a DJ scratcher playing music from the score and soundtrack.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’s hip-hop-based film soundtrack includes song contributions from artists such as New Orleans legend Lil Wayne, Jaden Smith, Nicki Minaj and Post Malone to name a few.

The film’s music score was composed by Academy Award nominee, multiple Golden Globe-nominee and Emmy-winning composer Daniel Pemberton, known for his work on movies such as The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Oceans 8, Enola Holmes, The Bad Guys and Steve Jobs.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of my favorite scores I’ve ever written,” said Pemberton. “Utilizing a full orchestra, crazy electronics and unbelievable turntable scratching techniques amongst a million other things is so technically complex, I never thought we’d ever be able to actually reproduce it live; but somehow, we have. I am ridiculously excited for fans around the country to see their very first Spider-Verse concert later this year.”

Tickets for the concert, which will begin at 7 p.m., will be available to purchase on the Mahalia Jackson Theater website on Friday, June 2 at 10 a.m. CDT.
