The music may not be the first thought that comes to mind when it comes to the hit 1990 movie, "Home Alone"-the highest-grossing live-action-comedy film of all time in the U.S.-but it will soon! It's not just another "movie night" when Pacific Symphony's Pops brings the exemplary "Hollywood" sound of the orchestra to the hilarious and heart-warming comedy classic starring Macaulay Culkin as 8-year-old troublemaker, Kevin McCallister.
What makes this movie event especially memorable is John Williams' captivating score, performed live by the Symphony, as the film is shown on the giant screen above the stage! When led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, whose talent for performing movie scores has become a true specialty, the novelty of a live orchestra accompaniment never wears off-it just elevates the experience.
(Warning: All signs of maturity should be checked at the door-sit back and laugh your head off, but take a Kleenex too.) "Home Alone" takes place Friday-Saturday, Nov. 11-12, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets are $35-167; $195 Box Circle.
