The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts has announced that tickets are on sale for the return of the multimedia concert celebration “Love Actually Live” running from Wednesday, Nov. 22, through Saturday, Dec. 30.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the beloved holiday film’s release, the holiday tradition will grace The Wallis’ Bram Goldsmith Theater with a performance. The production has enjoyed immense success during its previous runs starting in 2018, captivating nearly 45,000 people with exceptional staging, state-of-the-art video design and award-winning production.
“Love Actually Live” transports friends and families into a three-dimensional world where the film and live action seamlessly blend, immersing audiences in the heartwarming London setting. Iconic scenes from the movie are displayed on screens that move throughout the set, complemented by an all-star cast of singers and a live orchestra performing a reimagined soundtrack with songs such as “Christmas is All Around,” “Trouble with Love” and Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now.” Tickets are on sale and the cast for this year’s performances will be announced later this fall.
“We are overjoyed to welcome ‘Love Actually Live’ back to our stage,” The Wallis’ executive director and CEO Robert van Leer said. “There is no better way to celebrate and enjoy the holiday season than with the visionary cast, crew and beautifully supported live orchestra that makes this performance one to remember.”
“Love Actually Live” is a co-production from the team behind Los Angeles’ award-winning For The Record Live series and The Wallis. Inspired by the 2003 film written and directed by Richard Curtis, “Love Actually Live,” presented by special arrangement with Universal Theatrical Group, transforms The Wallis’ Bram Goldsmith Theater into a giant, immersive cinema for the modern day.
“We are thrilled to bring Love Actually Live back to The Wallis for the fourth year,” For The Record Live executive producer Shane Scheel said. “This holiday season, we celebrate not only the magic of this beloved film but also the beauty of tradition as we mark the 20th year since its theatrical release. ‘Love Actually’ has captured the hearts of millions, and this show promises to be an unforgettable night of music, laughter and love.”
Tickets start at $69 for previews from Nov. 22-28, and $79 for all regular performances from Nov. 29-Dec. 30. The Wallis is located at 9390 N Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills. For information, call (310)746-4000, or visit thewallis.org/lal.
