2. Toy Story in Concert with Nashville Symphony
Friday, July 8 to Sunday, July 10, 7:00pm on Friday- Saturday, 2:00pm Sunday
1 Symphony Place, Nashville, TN
Nashville Schermerhorn Symphony
Ever wonder what toys do when people aren’t around? With the Nashville Symphony performing the score live, Toy Story answers that question with a fantastic fun-filled journey, viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival toys – Woody, the lanky, likable cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear, the fearless space ranger. Led by Woody, Andy’s toys live happily in his room until Andy’s birthday brings Buzz Lightyear onto the scene. Afraid of losing his place in Andy’s heart, Woody plots against Buzz. But when circumstances separate Buzz and Woody from their owner, the comically mismatched duo eventually learn to put aside their differences, and they find themselves on a hilarious adventure-filled mission where the only way they can survive is to form an uneasy alliance. The performance is a presentation of the complete film Toy Story with a live performance of the film’s entire score. Out of respect for the musicians and your fellow audience members, please remain seated until the conclusion of the end credits.
