The Music of Hey Arnold

The sound of Hey Arnold! stepped well beyond cartoon background music: composer Jim Lang shaped the series with a lively blend of jazz, hip-hop, blues, R&B and funk. In this live celebration, Lang and the PS 118 AllStars bring the show’s themes and favorite songs forward, revisiting the musical world that gave Arnold’s neighborhood its warmth, wit and unmistakable groove. Multimedia visuals and behind-the-music stories add context to the performance, connecting the tunes with the animated series that first introduced them. It’s a chance to hear a distinctive television score take center stage, whether you grew up with the show or are meeting its music anew.
