'Barbie' the Movie in Concert
Kenergy alert: 'Barbie' is returning to the big screen in Melbourne for a concert screening with a live orchestra.
Overview
Bringing the beloved Mattel doll to cinemas in live-action for the first time, Barbie wasn't specifically made for concert screenings. But with a soundtrack filled with Oscar-winning and -nominated tunes, as well as tracks by Dua Lipa, Haim, Dominic Fike, The Kid LAROI, Pink Pantheress and more, it's certain to prove quite the treat when the film returns to the big screen in Melbourne with a live orchestra playing its music.
Yes, Greta Gerwig's (Little Women) take on the iconic toy is returning for another movie date, this time with Billie Eilish's 'What Was I Made For?', the Ryan Gosling (The Fall Guy)-crooned 'I'm Just Ken' and more performed by the orchestra as audiences watch — all thanks to Symphonic Cinema Presents.
In Melbourne, you'll be heading to Plenary Theatre at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday, December 13, 2025. Expect Kenergy aplenty.
It's a Barbie bonanza in the city of late, given that it is also currently playing host to the Malibu Barbie Cafe's first-ever Australian appearance until the end of summer.
As viewers already know from the Margot Robbie (Asteroid City)-starring flick, Barbie can be anything. Although screenings of the film can't be President, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, a diplomat and a Supreme Court justice, or a mermaid, doctor, lawyer and Pulitzer-winner, they can take many guises, such as movie-and-music events like this.
