Come ring in the New Year with Red River Theatres. On Dec 31 8-10PM, we are offering up a special screening of the classic Hollywood movie musical THE BAND WAGON!
Tony Hunter(Fred Astaire) a famous singer/dancer movie star, is feeling washed up and old hat (old top hat, tie and tails to be exact). The reporters are out for Ava Gardner, not him. But his old friends Lily(Nannette Fafray) and Les Martin (Oscar Levant) have an idea for a funny little Broadway show and he agrees to do it. But things begin to get out of hand, when bigshot "artistic" director/producer/star Jeffrey Cordova joins the production, proclaims it's a modernistic Faust and insists on hiring a prima ballerina, Gabrielle Gerard (Cyd Charisse), to star opposite Tony, and it's hate at first sight. And her jealous choreographer isn't helping to ease the tension. The show is doomed by pretentiousness. But romance, a "let's put on a show" epiphany, and a triumphant opening are waiting in the wings. After all, this is a musical comedy!
Come dressed for a classy night out at the theatre. Then finish with a pre-New Years champagne toast and still get home in time to see the ball drop!
