A free screening of the Broadway documentary Show Business will be the concluding entry of "Drive-In Movies at The Rock," a week-long series at Rockefeller Center presented by Target and the Bank of America; Show Business will be shown on June 17th.
Rockefeller Center will be transformed into a drive-in movie theatre (with a 30x50 screen) for the occasion, in which a number of other screenings will be shown--David LaChapelle's Rize on June 14, the romantic comedy The Baxter on June 15th, and Rosanna Arquette's documentary All We Are Saying on June
16th. In addition, a few attendees will be allowed to watch the screenings while seated
in Target Smart Cars lining the Channel Gardens off Fifth
Avenue.Show Business, written by director Dori Berinstein and Richard Hankin, goes backstage to trace the theatrical lives of four musicals as it follows them from inception to the 2004 Tony Awards. The musicals profiled are Stephen Schwartz' Wicked (now at the Gershwin Theatre), Robert Lopez' and Jeff Marx' Avenue Q (the 2004 winner of the Best Musical Tony, now at the Golden Theatre), Boy George's Taboo, and Jeanine Tesori's and Tony Kushner's much-admired Caroline, or Change; the latter two musicals closed last year. In addition, cast members of the recent Actors' Fund concert production of Hair will perform before the 102-minute screening.
For all the films, the free seating begins at 6 PM with the movies starting at 9 PM. Rockefeller Center is located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
