AUDITORIUM PHILMS CONCERT SERIES continues with Rocky In Concert - May 16th
The Auditorium (Chicago’s landmark stage at 50 E. Ida B. Wells Drive) and The Chicago Philharmonic in association with TCG Entertainment, continue the Auditorium Philms Concert Series with Rocky in Concert, an unforgettable live concert experience celebrating the 50th anniversary of Amazon MGM Studios' iconic Rocky. The one-night-only presentation takes place Saturday, May 16 at 7:30 PM at The Auditorium, 50 E Ida B Wells Dr. Tickets are available at auditoriumtheatre.org or by calling The Auditorium’s Ticket Service Center at 312.341.2300.
Rocky in Concert will allow fans to experience Rocky Balboa like never before by watching the original Rocky film on larger-than-life screens while the musical score is performed live by a symphony orchestra and piano. This is a MUST-SEE event for Rocky fans of all ages, celebrating this classic franchise and encouraging audiences to cheer on the underdog Rocky as Bill Conti’s legendary score “Gonna Fly Now” plays once again.
“Our Auditorium Philms series continues to grow, drawing enthusiastic audiences across many movie genres,” said The Auditorium CEO Rich Regan, “We are looking forward to inviting audiences in to celebrate 50 years Rocky with this exciting performance!”
“Bill Conti's 'Rocky' has become a cultural shorthand for perseverance,” said Chicago Philharmonic Executive Director Terell Johnson. “You feel every setback and every moment he chooses to keep going. The music lifts you right alongside him. We can't wait to perform this iconic score at The Auditorium.”
Amazon MGM Studios’ Rocky and Creed films have generated more than $1.3 billion in worldwide box office sales, three Academy Awards including Best Picture, and 10 nominations. The iconic franchise, starring Sylvester Stallone and produced by Chartoff Winkler Productions, has remained a global phenomenon because it presents audiences with universally relatable themes - ambition, passion, determination, and giving it your all to win, even when the odds are against you.
Rocky in Concert is produced by TCG Entertainment. Visit www.TCGENT.com, Facebook, or Twitter for more information.
