Get ready Doctor Who fans, the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular will be center stage at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on October 7. It will be one of the headline events of New York Super Week. This crazy event takes over the city October 5-11, leading up to the New York Comic Con.
The show will be hosted by Michelle Gomez (Missy [Master] on the Doctor Who series). She first appeared on screen in 2014 and will return in the upcoming season later this fall as the Doc’s arch-nemesis.
Gomez says, “I was a big fan of Doctor Who before I joined the cast, and I love Murray Gold’s powerful and emotional soundtracks for the series. This live show has been a big hit with fans of the series in other countries, and I know that Doctor Who fans in North America have been waiting for their turn to see it. I’m so excited to be presenting the first-ever American performances, and to be doing this in the city that has become my home. I can’t wait ’til this fall to see how the amazing U.S. audience reacts to the show being staged in the Big Apple. I’m honored to be a part of it.”
The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular celebrates the world’s longest running science fiction TV series. It features the captivating and award-winning music of Murray Gold who has composed for the series since 2005. The show will feature over 100 musicians and singers under the talented conducting baton of Ben Foster (conductor, The Theory of Everything).
Fans can also expect to see some of the Doctor’s most fearsome adversaries live on stage including Daleks, Cybermen, Judoon, Whispermen and more. The live performance will be accompanied by a big screen presentation of key moments and specially edited sequences from the past decade of Doctor Who.

I write like I think—fast, curious, and a little feral. I chase the weird, the witty, and the why-is-this-happening-now. From AI meltdowns to fashion glow-ups, if it makes you raise an eyebrow or rethink your algorithm, I’m probably writing about it. Expect sharp takes, occasional sarcasm, and zero tolerance for boring content.
