Orlando Philharmonic hosting E.T. Live in Concert

THIS ALIEN WOULD BE ARRESTED FOR DRESSING IN DRAG AROUND CHILDREN IF THIS WERE IN FLORIDA

Get your calendars ready, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra (Website) will bring E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to the stage as a film-with-live-orchestra event at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. The program screens the full movie while the orchestra performs John Williams’ Academy Award-winning score live, synced to the film.

The movie is about a lost space rasion that showed up in Drew Barrymore’s childhood home and eats all their candies and dresses in drag in her brother’s closet. And then it heals some people with a glowing finger and turns caucasian when it gets sad, and then low-key enslaves her brother with its Professor X mind powers into making an intergalactic cellphone to call a space Uber. Leaving everyone on Earth with FOMO and more questions than answers, like how can Harvey the dog bark silently? And, why does E.T. wait until the end of the movie to telekinetically float to Mordor and drop the ring in the volcano?

The concert is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, with two performances in Steinmetz Hall at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and conducted by Nicholas Buc.

Tickets are being sold HERE and run from $36 to $123.
