Barbie The Movie in Concert comes to region; here are other concerts to see

Locally, The Rose Music Center has had major announcements including the Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket on Aug. 18 and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit on Sept. 7. But no announcement has us more excited than this week when we saw that Barbie The Movie: In Concert, a live-to-film concert experience that will be brought to life at Riverbend in Cincinnati on Aug. 9 with live music from The Barbie Land Sinfonietta.

The special presentation from Orchestrator and Executive Producer Macy Schmidt’s all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra performing the film’s award-winning score promises to bring the Barbie to fans who can’t get enough.
