Rating: H
This production contains mature subject matter. (A previous version of the script contained strong language, but we are now using an approved script from the publisher that has been edited to remove the strong language.)

A show that is in high demand with theatres across the country, we are thrilled to get the rights to this popular musical! This behind-the-music story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons will take you from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom. Follow the incredible journey of four guys bound by one dream to make it to the top without giving up, selling out or forgetting where they came from. Experience electrifying performances of golden greats that took these guys all the way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “My Eyes Adored You” and more.

Movie Night: Rocky Horror Picture Show

Probably the oddest, most off-the-wall cult film ever made, this rock’n’roll science fiction horror satire is everybody’s favourite midnight show. A young couple stumbles into a castle inhabited by weirdos from the planet Transylvania including Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry). A marvelous musical spoof which urges. Provided through Criterion Pictures.

Rated R

Movie Night: Singin' in the Rain

Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor star in one of the greatest musicals ever filmed. Musician Don Lockwood (Kelly) rises to stardom during Hollywood’s silent-movie era–paired with the beautiful, jealous and dumb Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen). When Lockwood becomes attracted to young studio singer Kathy Selden (Reynolds), Lamont has her fired. But with the introduction of talking pictures, audiences laugh when they hear Lockwood speak for the first time–and the studio uses Selden to dub her voice. Set during the advent of “talkies,” this film’s classic song-and-dance numbers celebrate the beginning of movie musicals. Provided through Swank Motion Pictures, Inc.

Rated G

Movie Night: Little Shop of Horrors

A nerdy florist finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed. Provided through Swank Motion Pictures, Inc.

Rated PG-13
