tour in 2024. “Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five and the Tyranny of Evil Men” — its full title — combines Tarantino’s most iconic film scenes with live rock ‘n’ roll renditions of songs pulled from their soundtracks, merging the worlds of Hollywood and musical theater into a 360-degree live-concert experience.

The show, which previously played in Los Angeles in 2021, is adapted by Anderson Davis and Sumie Maeda from the works of Tarantino, directed by Davis and associate directed and choreographed by Maeda. “Every single time Tarantino makes a new film we have to re-conceive — sometimes completely — the show, and this time around we’re dealing with ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,’ which is not only his newest film, but it’s also a look back on his whole career and the whole culture of Hollywood in itself,” Davis told Variety. “We’ve gone much further this time around, to really make sure that the love letter to classic Hollywood culture is in this production.
