Los Angeles-based live entertainment company For the Record will present the European debut of their smash-hit show Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five & The Tyranny of Evil Men at Riverside Studios this summer, with a 10-week season from 6 June – 13 August.
Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five & The Tyranny of Evil Men is a one-of-a-kind, adrenaline-fuelled, genre-bending theatrical performance, combining Tarantino’s most iconic film scenes with live rock 'n' roll renditions of songs pulled straight from his legendary film albums; 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. The diverse company of artists from stage, record and screen will be announced in the coming weeks.
Follow the “Fox Force Five”—a group of fierce female superwomen popularized by Pulp Fiction—as they join forces to take care of business and fight the Tyranny of Evil Men with Tarantino’s quintessential soundtrack in the background.
From Reservoir Dogs to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino’s iconic style and vintage soundtracks are the gold standard of retro cool. This rock ‘n’ soul concert is a spiderweb of hitmen, gangsters and assassins slaying vinyl classics like ‘Son of a Preacher Man’, ‘Stuck in the Middle With You’, ‘Bang Bang’, and many more. The show encompasses Tarantino’s entire cinematic universe spanning over 30 years.
Studio 2 will be transformed into a cinematic, rock n roll playground where the sights, sounds, and even the flavours take inspiration from the Tarantino Universe. From the setlist to the drink list, TARANTINO LIVE is a total sensory experience that comes in a variety of Reservoir Dog coloured tiers.
Executive Producer and co-creator of For the Record, Shane Scheel, said: “We have long been searching for the perfect opportunity to introduce For The Record to London. 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."
