Chicago's Music Box Theatre Announces Sing-A-Long Screening of THE SOUND OF MUSIC and WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

Chicago's Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport, ushers in spring with festive Easter weekend matinees of the ever-popular Sing-A-Long Sound of Music and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Sing-A-Long Sound of Music beckons friends and families to the Music Box for an Easter weekend matinee. The spirited audience-participation event includes a presentation of the 1962 Rogers & Hammerstein movie musical The Sound of Music in glorious Technicolor and full-screen Cinemascope. Lyrics are projected on the screen during the movie so that the audience can easily sing along to "Do-Re-Me," "Edelweiss" and, of course, "My Favorite Things." The film is preceded by a hosted warm-up and a "fancy-dress" costume contest. Shows Saturday, March 20, 2pm. $12.50 ($8 for kids 12 and under).
