"Winter Is Coming” is transitioning from the small screen to the stage.
Live Nation Entertainment announced on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) that they will re-create HBO’s hit series with a musical—complete with a full orchestra and choir performances, Variety reported.
Composer Ramin Diawadi will spearhead “’Game of Thrones’ Live Concert Experience,” which will tour across 28 cities in North America sometime in early 2017.
The highly anticipated adaptation “will use innovative music tour production and video technology that will recreate the various realms found throughout Westeros and Essos,” a press release said. It will also “showcase footage from the show in addition to all the new imagery created exclusively for the tour.”
As for the music itself, Djawadi said the the playlist would include fan favorites including, “Mhysa,” “The Children” and “Light of the Seven”—which were all used as music in the original series.
He also explained that the idea for the tour actually came from one of the TV show’s creators.
“We were in the studio together reviewing some music and one of them said, ‘I would love to see this live,’” the music composer was quoted as saying in the report. “’I want a full orchestra. I want to see a choir.’ So we went from there.”
Aside from the the musical showcase, the experience will also feature a blend of LED screens and special stage designs. The choir and orchestra will be housed in a giant screen flanked by flaming towers, the report said.
“We designed a stage that will be 360 degrees. There won’t be a bad seat in the house,” Djawadi guaranteed.
“’Game of Thrones’ Live Concert Experience”kicks off next February starting in Kansas City, while tickets go on sale on Live Nation starting Aug. 13.
