Mostly Superheroes

My Hero Academia is celebrating a decade of heroes, and My Hero Academia in Concert is bringing the world of the anime to life with a giant cinema screen, live band and orchestral performance.
Mostly Superheroes talks with Emily Marshall, music supervisor, music director, keyboardist and associate conductor for the production. Emily explains how the Japanese creative team helped shape the show, how the music is synchronized with the on-screen story, and what it takes to turn iconic moments from My Hero Academia into a live concert experience.
My Hero Academia in Concert comes to The Factory in St. Louis on October 4, 2026.
Emily Marshall also shares why experiencing an anime you love with a live orchestra is completely different from watching it at home—and why fans may never want to go back after seeing it performed live.
