City of Stars, are you shining just for La La Land? Come Memorial Day weekend, it will be.
Lionsgate is bringing Damien Chazelle’s hit film to Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on May 26 and 27 with the world premiere of La La Land in Concert: A Live-to-Film Celebration. The event will feature a 100-piece symphony orchestra, choir and jazz ensemble accompanying the film’s original vocal recordings with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Oscar-winning composer Justin Hurwitz will conduct.
“Damien made a beautiful tribute to Los Angeles with La La Land, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate the film’s music at an LA landmark with incredible LA musicians,” said Hurwitz in a statement.
