Whether it is the power and passion of the more recent blockbusters or the excitement of remembering the sentimental classics you played growing up, it will truly be a special night to remember for the entire family. The show has a segment dedicated to the old retro arcade classics – but there is also modern music and older, more memorable pieces that no one has ever heard played live.

Video Games Live is created and produced by legendary video game composer and industry icon Tommy Tallarico, who is personally involved in every show. Aside from producing, Tallarico is on stage for every concert as emcee and performing on guitar. The video game industry puts on the show to encourage and support the art and culture that video games have become. Video Games Live bridges a gap for entertainment by exposing new generations of music lovers and fans to the symphonic orchestral experience, while also providing a completely new and unique experience for families and non-gamers.

“This is an incredible opportunity for us to reach an audience that normally may not be familiar with how far video games have come and how amazing the music can be,” according to Tallarico.

The live show features audience participation with special interactive segments where people from the audience come up and compete while the orchestra plays the music in perfect synchronization with the visuals on screen.

There will also be pre- and post-show events, including a costume contest, prizes, and meet-and-greet opportunities with composers, voice actors, performers and special guests.
