UHF Live-to-Screen with Orchestra and Live Q&A with “Weird Al” Yankovic and Special Guests
It’s been 37 years in the making! “Weird Al” Yankovic is bringing his classic comedy UHF back to the big screen for one night only at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeleson Saturday, October 31. And for the first time ever, the film’s original score will be performed live on stage by a full orchestra, conducted by none other than the score’s composer John Du Prez, accompanying the film.
And to polish off the night, following the movie there will be a Q&A with Weird Al and special surprise guests!
“I am thrilled that the UHF score will fly once more this October. Everything we imagined in the studio all those years ago will finally take on a new life performed in real time by a full symphony orchestra and Al's wonderful band.”
“I’m so excited to join the great John Du Prez on stage at the Greek to celebrate the 27th anniversary of the 10th anniversary of the release of UHF,” says Yankovic. “This will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
According to the original Orion Pictures press release: “George Newman (Yankovic) has an imagination that works overtime. But George himself can’t hold a job for more than 24 hours. Then one day his Uncle Harvey wins a tiny ‘UHF’ television station in a poker game, and names George its new manager on the grounds that nobody could screw up things at the station any worse than they already are.”
And the rest is comedy history.
