FRIDAY 28 OCTOBER 7.00 PM (Arc OUTDOORS) – BUY!
Dress up and celebrate the 80s with this legendary, over-the-top musical starring The Village People and some of their biggest hits.
In this pseudo-biography of The Village People, Jack (played by Steve Guttenberg who would go to define his career in a string of Police Academy films) is a struggling composer desperate to gain fame with his songs. All he needs is a group, and with the help of his roommate Samantha and a lawyer named Ron, he manages to recruit six ‘macho men’ from his Greenwich Village neighbourhood. The rest is Village People history …
Meant to be a celebration of the disco era, the film was released too late to catch the craze and flopped spectacularly at the box-office (everywhere except Australia that is – where the album also topped the music charts). The film then went on to win the first ever Golden Razzie award for Worst Film, and has become a cult classic ever since.
Doors open at 7.00 PM for a sunset start.
Special ticket prices: FILM ONLY or FILM + snackbox.
