Backyard Cinema’s critically acclaimed screenings of Baz Luhrmann’s iconic 1996 Romeo+Juliet is set to come to the north-west for the first time in August. Enjoyed by over 100,000 fans during its time in London, the exclusive week of screenings will take place at the beautiful Grade II listed Albert Hall in Manchester.
ICONIC FILM + SOUNDTRACK
Screening the iconic film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, the greatest love story ever told will set spines tingling amongst atmospheric candle-lit aisles of the grand and ornate chapel, now one of UK’s most mesmeric venues. The famous movie soundtrack will be brought to life with a live band and 12-piece choir performing before the film, during the interval and after the screening. Expect to hear favourites including Young Hearts Run Free, Everybody’s Free (To Feel Good), When Doves Cry and many more.
Strictly limited in numbers, the screenings are sure to sell quickly with signups for pre sale access already in the thousands. Visit backyardcinema.co.uk/manchester for an opportunity to get your tickets before the crowds.
MANCHESTER – THE GREATEST CITY
With Manchester featuring on various 2024 ‘Greatest City’ lists within the likes of New York Times and National Geographic, and with a unique music and cultural history, Backyard Cinema were keen to return to their northern home from home having found the perfect setting for Romeo+Juliet. Previously they entertained over 50,000 immersive cinema fans during their Christmas season on the roof of Depot Mayfield, playing classics such as Elf and Home Alone. Summer 2023 welcomed the Miami Beach pop-up, bringing the beach to Manchester with interactive shows including Barbie on the Beach, Super Sing a longs & Dirty Dancing Beach Parties.
“EXCITED”
Dominic Davies (Backyard Cinema Founder & CEO) says “It has been a real joy to bring our events to Manchester, we have had a cosy Christmas inside a magical forest. As well as unforgettable parties on the Beach with Miami, now I cannot wait to show Manchester our most famous show Romeo+Juliet with live choir, and where better to host this epic event than Manchester Albert Hall. It’s truly an unforgettable show and I couldn’t be more excited.”
Simon Butcher (Live Programming and Marketing, Albert Hall) says “We have loved the events Backyard Cinema have hosted in Manchester so far, and knew out venue would be the perfect setting for their epic Romeo+Juliet show. After seeing it in London we knew we had to host it, there won’t be a dry eye in the house.”
