Hook in Concert
Steven Spielberg’s beloved fantasy adventure *Hook* returns for its 35th anniversary in a cinematic concert presentation. The National Symphony Orchestra will perform John Williams’ Grammy-nominated score live as the complete film plays on screen, bringing Peter Pan’s return to Neverland to life with music and movie together.
Robin Williams stars as Peter Banning, a work-focused lawyer who has lost touch with his childhood identity. After Captain Hook, played by Dustin Hoffman, takes Peter’s children, Peter must return to Neverland, reconnect with Tinker Bell, portrayed by Julia Roberts, and recover the sense of wonder he left behind. Emil de Cou conducts the National Symphony Orchestra.
