One of the defining rom-coms of the genre, Sleepless in Seattle is set to be performed live in concert in Sydney. The show will see the film’s iconic soundtrack, featuring some of the most romantic songs of all time, being brought to life by a live orchestra.
Originally released by TriStar Pictures in 1993, the film will be presented on a huge HD screen, while its beloved soundtrack is performed live to film, allowing audiences to experience the movie’s unforgettable charm in a whole new, heart-stirring way.
Directed by the queen of romantic comedies, Nora Ephron, Sleepless in Seattle follows the cross-country, serendipitous journey of two strangers whose lives and hearts intersect in unexpected ways. Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) is a recently widowed father whose heartfelt call to a late-night radio show captures the attention of Annie Reed (Meg Ryan), a journalist on the opposite side of the country who becomes unexpectedly drawn to him. As Sam tries to rebuild a life with his young son and Annie questions the direction of her own, a series of chance moments and near-misses pull them toward one another, culminating in a hopeful twist on classic romantic destiny.
