Anthony Rapp Joins 92YTribeca Audience for 'Adventures in Babysitting,' 5/6
by BWW News Desk - May 6, 2011


Cast member Anthony Rapp joins the 92YTribeca audience live for this 1987 comedy that strands rubes from the 'burbs in the big city. Chris Columbus' directorial debut features Elisabeth Shue as a babysitter whose emergency errand into Chicago leads her and her young charges to an outrageous all-night fiasco, featuring run-ins with menacing car thieves and shank-wielding gang members, plus a stop at a dive where 'no one leaves without singing the blues.' A kind of flipside to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, this is perhaps the lone Hughes-era teen comedy to pluck the kids out of suburbia only to pit them against their paranoid nightmares of the inner city.
