No, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Lizzo aren’t teaming up for a supershow at the ol’ Gary on Tuesday.

But as luck would have it, Tampa's MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre is the first stop on a month-and-a-half long tour featuring an all-female symphony orchestra—led by Tony Award winning producer Macy Schmidt—accompanying one of the biggest films of last summer (similar to how The Florida Orchestra has been performing the “Harry Potter” scores). It’s gonna be a hot one, but still good enough to drink.

Tickets for Barbie the Movie: In Concert happening at Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Tuesday, July 2 are still available and start at $35.30.

@macyjschmidt Hi Barbie! My name is Macy, I’m a Broadway orchestrator, and people often ask me what that means. Luckily @Gabrielle Mariella answered the question in her @Sony Alpha documentary “ENOUGH.” 💅 #orchestration #womeninmusic #enough #fyp ♬ original sound - Macy Schmidt
