Home Alone In Concert

Home Alone In Concert comes to Plymouth Arena on Monday 14 December, with the film starting at 7:30pm. It's the holiday comedy classic starring Macaulay Culkin shown on the big screen, but with the music handled differently than you'd expect: the film's iconic John Williams soundtrack is performed live by an orchestra and choir, so you hear the score as the action unfolds on screen.

If you've seen Home Alone a dozen times, the draw here is the live element. The orchestra and choir play along with the movie in real time, meaning the music isn't just a recording coming out of the speakers, but a live performance happening in the room while the film runs. It's a different way to experience a movie you probably know by heart, especially one where the score is such a big part of the atmosphere.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you book. The screening is rated PG, and under-14s have to be accompanied by an adult over 18, so it's one that works for families. There's also a limit of six tickets per person, which is worth remembering if you're trying to pull together a large group. The show is at Plymouth Arena on Millbay Road, and it starts at 7:30pm on Monday 14 December.
