Love Actually Live in Concert

Love Actually Live in Concert comes to the Swansea Building Society Arena on Sunday 6 December, a full orchestra playing Craig Armstrong's score while the film runs on a huge screen. It's the 2003 romantic comedy brought to the stage, with the music landing exactly as the on-screen action unfolds.

Set in contemporary London in the weeks before Christmas, the story weaves together ten interlocking love stories — some romantic, some sad, some plain stupid, all funny in their own way. It's become a Christmas tradition for many, and seeing it with a live orchestra changes the experience: instead of a recorded track, you've got a full section of musicians in the room playing along to the film in real time.

The original movie boasted an all-star ensemble, with Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Rowan Atkinson and Martin Freeman all playing a part. Craig Armstrong's score won a BAFTA for Achievement in Film Music, and that's the work the orchestra will be performing throughout the night.

Tickets start from £46.20, with a £3.95 transaction fee on top. The show starts at 7:30pm at the Swansea Building Society Arena on Oystermouth Road in Bae Copr Bay, SA1 3BX, and there's an age guidance of 16+.
