Film-in-concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet, with the film on screen and its score and soundtrack performed live by a 12-piece hybrid ensemble.
William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet Film in Concert comes to the Stifel Theatre on Sunday, January 31, 2027, at 7:30 PM. The evening marks the 30th anniversary of Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes and left behind a soundtrack that's developed its own cult following. If you remember the movie, you probably remember the music: Des'ree's "Kissing You," The Cardigans' "Lovefool," Radiohead's "Talk Show Host," and Garbage's "#1 Crush."
Developed in collaboration with Disney Concerts, the show puts the film on a big screen while a 12-piece hybrid ensemble performs the score and the soundtrack live. The music is rounded out with atmospheric lighting and concert-stage production, so you're watching the movie as it originally played, but with the sound coming from the stage rather than a recording. It's a film in concert in the truest sense—the movie runs, and the music is played live right along with it.

It's a specific way to revisit a movie you might have seen a dozen times. Instead of just hitting play at home, you're in a theater with a live band playing the songs and the score in real time. If you've always had a soft spot for Luhrmann's version, this is a chance to see it on a big screen with a live ensemble behind it. The venue advises the show is for ages 18 and over. It runs at the Stifel Theatre, 1400 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103, starting at 7:30 PM on Sunday, January 31.
