Event Details

Free Pop-Up Movie Night + Free Popcorn | Great American Music Hall

Great American Music Hall, built in 1907, was originally a bordello, then a highfalutin nightclub, and now the lavish room, done up with enormous mirrors, rococo woodwork, and gold-leaf trim is one of the city’s best live music venues.

Periodically they cover up the stage, pull down a screen, bring out the chairs, and turn the venue into an intimate pop-up movie theater. And did we mention, there’s free popcorn and free raffles for concert tickets?

Plus there’s a pop-up chef cooking up a special dinner menu.

Free Pop-Up Movie Night
Doors open at 7 pm; film starts at 8 pm
Free admission; all ages (6+)

– Free popcorn
– Free concert tickets raffle for upcoming Great American Music Hall and Slim’s shows
– Bring cash for any additional food & drinks

If you’ve ever wanted to hear Jack Nicholson sing (or try to) or marvel at the sight of Ann-Margret drunkenly cavorting in a cascade of baked beans, Tommy is the movie you’ve been waiting for.

It’s a fever-dream of musical bombast, custom-fit to the thematic ambition of Pete Townshend & The Who’s epic 1975 rock drama, revolving around the titular “deaf, dumb, and blind kid” (played by Who vocalist Roger Daltrey) who survives the childhood trauma that stole his senses to become a Pinball Wizard messiah in Townshend’s grandiose attack on the hypocrisy of organized religion.
