Goldblum—The Wizard of Oz in the global box office hit Wicked alongside Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo—has enjoyed a celebrated six-decade career spanning film, television, and stage, with credits including Jurassic Park, Independence Day, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok. He founded the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra more than 30 years ago, and together they have performed for audiences worldwide, reimagining jazz classics and American Songbook favorites with signature charm and swing. Their acclaimed albums feature guest artists including Gregory Porter, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, Fiona Apple, Scarlett Johansson, Ariana Grande, and Cynthia Erivo. Time Out raves, “Goldblum tickles the ivories as well as the audience… We’re smitten.” There’s no place like ARTS by George! for this spectacular concert—a dazzling celebration of live music and the arts. 

This performance is appropriate for all ages.
