The Wedding Singer
July 8, 2013
If you’re ready for another great summer of Movie Mondays, say “I do!” This sweet romantic comedy stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore as a seemingly perfectly matched pair, if only they weren’t engaged to other people. Will they discover each other and find true love? Only with the help of a soundtrack of classic ‘80s tunes!
Rated PG
1 hour and 35 minutes
Buena Vista Social Club
July 15, 2013
Acclaimed director Wim Wenders’ documentary follows American jazz guitarist Ry Cooder as he travels to Cuba to unite the legendary musicians of pre-revolutionary Havana.
The result was not only a triumphant performance of extraordinary music (hailed by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the 300 greatest albums of all time), but also helped immortalize the artists who were all but forgotten in their own country.
On September 17, the Center opens its 2013 –2014 Season with Orquestra Buena Vista Social Club in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.
The Lion King
July 22, 2013
This hand-drawn Disney animated feature was not only a commercial and critical success, but it also became an American institution, winning two Academy Awards®, launching an unending merchandise line and, of course, becoming the basis for one of the most successful musicals of all time. With an all-star cast voicing the roles of Simba, Nala, Mufasa, Scar, Timon and Pumbaa, there will no sleeping with The Lion tonight!
Rated G, 1994, 1 hour and 29 minutes
The Phantom of the Opera
July 29, 2013
The longest-running Broadway show in history was given a Hollywood make-over with this 2004 adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mega-musical. “The Music of the Night” will surround the Arts Plaza as we screen the winner of last year’s Audience Favorite Online Poll!
Rated PG
2 hours and 23 minutes
