Overview
The end of the year is fast approaching, meaning it's time for the annual tradition of getting 'Christmas is All Around', as sung by Bill Nighy, stuck in your head. If every year you watch everyone's favourite Christmas-themed British rom-com with a stacked high-profile cast and seasonal humour, this year, you can do one better.
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you clearly adore everyone's favourite Christmas-themed British rom-com, its high-profile cast and its seasonal humour. And, you've probably watched the beloved flick every December since it was first released in cinemas back in 2003. That's a perfectly acceptable routine, and one that's shared by many. But this year, you can do one better — again.
A huge success during its past tours of the UK, Australia and New Zealand (to the surprise of absolutely no one), Love Actually in Concert is returning in 2023 to make this festive season extra merry. It's exactly what it sounds like: a screening of the film accompanied by a live orchestra performing the soundtrack as the movie plays.
To the jolly delight of Auckland residents, it's heading to The Civic at 4pm and 8pm on Saturday, December 16.
Here, you'll revisit the Richard Curtis-written and -directed film you already know and treasure, step through its interweaved Yuletide stories of romance, and hear a live orchestra play the movie's soundtrack. And, yes, Christmas (and love) will be all around you.
