'Spider-Man' concert will be played by an all-women, mostly women-of-color orchestra

The tour, which follows the show’s sold-out world premiere at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn in March, will feature The Broadway Sinfonietta, an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra.

Emily Marshall will be on the podium as the tour’s conductor.

The "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" score was composed by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning composer Daniel Pemberton, known for his work on movies and shows like "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," "Oceans 8," "Enola Holmes," "The Bad Guys" and "Steve Jobs."

He also composed the music for the smash sequel "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," now playing in movie theaters.
