Young Hearts Run Free
One of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time becomes a masquerade rock show.
Overview
It's been more than two decades since Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet changed the game when it came to screen adaptations of Shakespeare — and delivered a stunning soundtrack along with it. There are many things that make the 1996 movie great, from its stellar casting to the filmmaker's inimitable style. But tracks by everyone from The Cardigans to Radiohead to Everclear to Garbage rank right up there with its biggests strengths.
It's no wonder, then, that Brisbane Festival is throwing quite the soiree to celebrate one of the best-ever collections of movie tunes. At Young Hearts Run Free, The Tivoli will become a rock masquerade, with patrons dressing up, dancing the night away, and listening to live performances of the entire soundtrack — with Tom Dickins, Greg Chiapello, Airling, Electric Fields and Miss Blanks on the lineup.
