The GAME OF THRONES LIVE CONCERT EXPERIENCE -- an immersive music and visual experience using state-of-the-art technology featuring composer RAMIN DJAWAD, with a full orchestra and choir -- will take fans on a musical journey through the realm - from KING'S LANDING to WINTERFELL, along the northern stretches of the KINGROAD to THE WALL and across the NARROW SEA to BRAAVOS, MEEREEN and beyond.
