Jurassic Park is widely known as one of the most epic movies to have ever graced our screens. Created in 1993 by the iconic Steven Spielberg, the film launched a new era of cinema, bringing to life groundbreaking special effects and setting the imagination of audiences aflame like never before. And so, it’s not surprising that this is one movie that has truly withstood the test of time, inviting fans to rewatch it again and again. For your next watch through, though, we feel like Jurassic Park deserves something special. If you want to experience Jurassic Park like never before, it’s only right that you choose the coolest location possible and turn its soundtrack into an iconic orchestral event. Yes, get ready to experience Jurassic Park live at the Hollywood Bowl with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic performing John Williams’ epic score live to picture. Jurassic Park in Concert is a cinematic event 65 million years in the making, and you definitely don’t want to miss it.

A historic Hollywood location? Check. One of the best movies ever made? Check. Potentially the most iconic soundtrack to ever grace a film, performed by a stunning orchestra? Check, check, and check. And all of it under the stars? We are pterodactyl screeching with excitement. If that sounds like your perfect evening, too, we recommend that you not delay in snagging tickets to Jurassic Park in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl. This magical night is the next leap in movie-watching evolution you’ve been waiting for.

Attending a performance of John Williams’ music, played by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, would be a worthy adventure all on its own. We might gently imply that you haven’t truly lived until you’ve heard the Jurassic Park theme played live in all its splendor. Just listening to its familiar notes on YouTube has that specific well of emotion rising in our hearts. So the opportunity to experience its trills and swells live at the Hollywood Bowl would be beyond transcendent. And if we add to that the experience of watching the movie itself projected onto a huge screen in crystal-clear HD, well, we couldn’t imagine a better night.

Jurassic Park leaves us with the inspiring message that “Life finds a way.” And we suggest that you take that to heart and find a way to experience the pure joy and cinematic wonder that is attending Jurassic Park in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Jurassic Park in Concert takes place on Friday, August 8, and again on Saturday, August 9. Both shows begin at 8 pm. Tickets are on sale now.

Welcome… to Jurassic Park (in concert)!
