Davison To Host Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular UK Dates

Since 2012, the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular has been delighting audiences in Australia and New Zealand with the music of Doctor Who from composer Murray Gold. The show featured many fan favourites and also saw appearances from various Doctor Who villains like Daleks and Cybermen, as well as messages from the cast along with a number of videos of scenes from the show that were synced to the music.

Due to popular demand – I daresay sold out shows indicate how popular the events were – the Spectacular is coming back in the New Year, and this time, not just Down Under! The BBC has confirmed that not only will the show play in Australia and New Zealand, but that it will also tour the UK!

As previously announced, Peter Davison will be hosting the Spectacular in Australia and New Zealand, which will again include many fan favourites, new and classic footage, and some specially edited footage of new Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi’s debut.

 

If this wasn’t enough, the BBC have now also confirmed that Davison will continue to host the show when it hits the UK! The UK shows will feature the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and members of the BBC National Chorus of Wales. It will be conducted by Ben Foster.

Dates Down Under include stops in Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, and Auckland. Dates in the UK will stop in London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, and Glasgow. Check out these places listed for information on how to purchase tickets.

Can an American hope that maybe in 2016 they might bring the show to the US too? I’d LOVE to be able to attend and I know some non-Whovians that would love to be part of a night of good music and entertainment!
