“Barbie The Movie: In Concert,” a live orchestral show of the soundtrack as the blockbuster musical comedy plays on-screen, will close its newly announced summer tour Aug. 18 at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh. “There is an overall 8 ticket limit for this event,” the website’s page for the concerts notes in a pop-up. Performing will be The Barbie Land Sinfonietta, an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra. That ensemble is a co-branded version of The Broadway Sinfonietta, founded in 2020 by orchestrator Macy Schmidt, 27, an executive producer of this concert tour. Barely 4 months ago, it all began with a cold email to the brilliant women at Mattel, and a pitch deck for a Barbie orchestra.
