Nostalgia runs deep for lovers of “Hey Arnold!” — the animated TV series created for Nickelodeon that lasted for five seasons. Perhaps the PNW love runs even deeper since the show featured a fourth grader living in the fictional city of Hillwood, Washington.

Now, to celebrate the beloved series’ 30th anniversary, fans can catch The Music of Hey Arnold Live!, featuring award-winning composer Jim Lang and his band The PS 118 All Stars, when they come to Neptune Theatre as part of their anticipated tour (many shows on the tour have already sold out).

The Los Angeles Times wrote, “The Nickelodeon series’ commitment to authenticity gave young viewers stories about the immigrant experience and unconventional families.” And these pertinent themes and the memorable soundtrack of “Hey Arnold!” continue to connect with and inspire fans and musicians from around the globe.

Lang, an award-winning composer in the film and TV world, is most recognized for his theme music, original songs and score for “Hey Arnold!,” which has aired in 70-plus markets worldwide. (He also scored “Hey Arnold: The Movie” and “Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie.”)

The memorable tunes blend jazz, hip hop, blues and R&B, and the sounds add to the show’s heart, warmth, humor and soul. The evening will also showcase complementary multimedia visuals and stories from behind the music, as well as a special guest appearance by series creator Craig Bartlett.
