‘Tarantino Live’ sets European premiere at Riverside Studios

The show combines well-known scenes from Quentin Tarantino’s popular films with rock songs, in a state-of-the-art blend of film, theatre, and live music.

The first rule of Tarantino Live is you talk about Tarantino Live. After a world premiere in Los Angeles, the European premiere of Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five & The Tyranny of Evil Men will run at Riverside Studios this summer. Previews begin on 6 June, with an opening night on 13 June, and performances to 13 August.

The Tarantino-based experience celebrates the two-time Academy Award-winning director. In the show, the “Fox Force Five” — a group of Pulp Fiction-inspired superwomen — fight the Tyranny of Evil Men. The show combines film scenes from Reservoir Dogs and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with songs such as “Bang Bang” and “Son of a Preacher Man.”

Press material states the show is: “less a traditional movie-based musical, more a character driven concert that seamlessly merges the world of Hollywood and musical theatre into a 360-degree live-concert experience.”

“We are thrilled to bring the show to Riverside Studios, where the arts intersect in a historic film studio, and be a part of their rich history. Our team is enthusiastic about bringing our distinctive style of immersive theatre to London audiences and becoming a part of the vibrant creative community,” said Shane Scheel Executive Producer and co-creator of For the Record.
