Wicked: For Good

Rating: PG for action/violence, some suggestive material and thematic material.

Upstairs and Downstairs (Check showtimes for “Screen”)

The London Times headline reads, “Give Cynthia Erivo the Oscar Now.”

For two holiday seasons Wicked, the record-shattering, Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon will become a gravity-defying cinematic sensation. The feature-film adaptations of the untold story of the Witches of Oz is directed by electrifying filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, this year’s In the Heights). Wicked, based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, is adapted for the screen by the stage production’s book writer Winne Holzman and by legendary Academy Award® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz.

The Squid and the Whale

——————–
Youth Advisory Board Pick of the Week

Rating: PG-13 for thematic material, some sexuality, strong language, and smoking.

Gallery Theater

—————–

Set in Brooklyn in 1986, THE SQUID AND THE WHALE captures with extraordinary immediacy the inner workings of the Berkman family. Bernard (Jeff Daniels), a once successful novelist, and his wife Joan (Laura Linney), an up-and-coming writer, have given up on their marriage. Their two sons Walt (Jesse Eisenberg), 16, and Frank (Owen Kline), 12, are left to grapple with their confusing and conflicted feelings. The experience is a tender, funny and ultimately moving coming of age for Walt and a tortuously premature one for Frank.
