'event like no other' to take city landmark

THE "EVENT LIKE NO OTHER" IS TAKING OVER A CITY LANDMARK 16:10, 30 May 2025 An immersive reimagining of Romeo and Juliet is coming to Liverpool. This June, Backyard Cinema’s

production of Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 cult classic returns to St. George’s Hall, Liverpool, for a week-long cinematic residency. Taking place from Monday, June 23, to Sunday, June 29, the event

promises to be “atmospheric” and more “than just a film screening”. Audiences can expect to step into the grandeur of the Grade I-listed building and be transported into the heart of Verona

via candlelit aisles and the soaring sound of a live choir. As the film unfolds, iconic tracks from the original soundtrack, such as “Young Hearts Run Free,” “Everybody’s Free,” “Kissing

You,” and “When Doves Cry” will be performed live, interspersed throughout the screening, creating a “deeply immersive, multisensory experience unlike anything else on the UK cinema scene”.

Backyard Cinema prides itself on spending the past decade redefining what it means to go to the movies. What started as a DIY project in a London garden has grown to events all over the

country. Article continues below With over half a million attendees to date, Backyard Cinema is where film, theatre, and music collide in dazzling harmony. Their production of Romeo + Juliet

has toured extensively to sold-out audiences and glowing reviews, and its return to Liverpool marks a highly anticipated highlight of their 2025 UK tour. Backyard founder and CEO Dominic

Davies said: “I can’t wait to return to Liverpool with Romeo+Juliet. The venue is such a perfect fit, and the audience's reactions made last year's sold-out screenings a really

special experience. "With a brand new set of soloists and band, this year's performance is set to be bigger and better than ever before." Article continues below Backyard

Cinema’s Romeo + Juliet will be staged at St George’s Hall from June 23rd to 29th, 2025. Evening performances will be nightly at 7:30 p.m. Matinee shows will also take place on Saturday,
