We return to Birmingham Symphony Hall on 13 July, 2024 for Stand By For Action! 2: Gerry Anderson in Concert.
"A magnificently larger-than-life creation, like so many of Anderson’s FAB TV shows."
"5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Thunderbirds Are Go!
The 2022 world-premiere show Stand By For Action! Gerry Anderson in Concert, created in partnership with Anderson Entertainment and devised and co-produced by our managing director, Rachel Whibley alongside Jamie Anderson, was a sell-out success.
In July, audiences will once again be able to step into the timeless world of Gerry Anderson’s TV shows in a brand new 2024 celebration. Our full, world-class orchestra will bring the iconic theme tunes and music to life; feel the pulse of Thunderbirds, the mysterious allure of Stingray, and the futuristic vibes of Space: 1999. Immerse yourself in a symphonic journey through Anderson’s universes where each note conjures memories of daring rescues, epic space adventures and puppetry magic.
Hosted by Jon Culshaw and Genevieve Gaunt, this unique new concert celebrates the enduring legacy of Anderson’s creations, blending nostalgia with the thrill of live music for a night that will resonate with fans of all ages.
"We thought this was absolutely FABulous! The orchestra embraced the nature of the concert to a T"
