Coraline in Concert

At Kings Theatre, *Coraline in Concert* pairs the film’s off-kilter coming-of-age story with live rock/pop performance, turning the screening into a scored event rather than background accompaniment. The tale follows a child who slips into a parallel home that looks better at first, then reveals its cost. New York has long treated Neil Gaiman–adapted dark fantasy as repertory material, and this format places it in the city’s tradition of hybrid cinema-and-concert nights. The live mix sharpens the film’s unease, making sound feel like narrative pressure.
