Press Room

December Film at The Music Hall

Kathleen Soldati - 12/1/2008

The Oscar watch has begun! Chris Curtis, Film and Outreach Coordinator for The Music Hall advises that the December Extraordinary Cinema lineup includes some potential Oscar contenders. According to Curtis, “Rachel Getting Married and A Girl Cut in Two in particular look like knock-outs. And, there’s been a lot of positive buzz on Happy Go Lucky.  Mamma Mia! will most likely win no Oscars but I think the sing-along version should be a HECK of a good time.  One fan of this version called it ‘a vacation of an evening.’ A choir of patrons singing ‘S.O.S.’ and ‘Money, Money, Money,’ should be something to hear and see. The first night of Mamma Mia Sing along Friday December 5 is officially Girls Night Out with cosmos in the lobby 5:30-showtime!”
 
The month kicks off with Frozen River, Melissa Leo’s star turn in a riveting tale of two women who, driven by economic hardship, smuggle illegal immigrants across the Canadian border. Mamma Mia Sing Along is up next for two nights only and is followed by the French thriller A Girl Cut in Two. From there it’s on to a great cast led by Anne Hathaway in Jonathan Demme’s latest, Rachel Getting Married. Happy Go Lucky returns to the Hall after its wonderful reception at this fall’s Telluride by the Sea and then the month closes out with the Wildcard Movie on Tuesday December 30 - Across the Universe, a Julie Taymor visual feast replete with Beatles’ music. Following this psychedelic film that is reaching cult status, local dancer/actor/assistant choreographer Christopher Tierney will be available to talk in the lobby about his experience working on the film. Watch for signature cocktails made especially for this! On that night, the Founders Lobby will open at 6:30pm. The Wildcard Movie will start at 8:00pm  with the post-film discussion in the lobby. Following the Wildcard Movie discussion, a Speakeasy will take place from 10pm-1am in the Founders Lobby.
