A BRONX TALE's Sonny
Grab the D Train to Belmont Avenue, where you can smell the freshly baked bread, see the salamis strung up on display and feel the sidewalks swinging to the music of doo-wop. But be careful trick-or-treating - we hear the neighborhood can get a little rough once the sun goes down!

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY's Willy Wonka

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew and cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two? Well you know the answer! Halloween is the perfect time to pay homage to the master candy maker himself, Willy Wonka. Take care unwrapping those Wonka bars - one may very well contain the Golden Ticket!

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST's Belle and The Beast

You'll surely be the 'Belle' of the ball celebrating Disney's live action re-telling of the tale as old as time. One word of advice - if you happen to meet an old beggar woman who offers you a rose, take it!

Return to Tolstoy's Moscow, 1812 where a spectacular astronomical event is about to take place. Natasha, Anatole, Balaga and more gather for a feast of dumplings, caviar and plenty of vodka. What about Pierre? He'll be there too, playing his accordion and dancing a lively Hopak. Nostrovia!


Bruce Springsteen ON BROADWAY's 'The Boss'
