“Sing-A-Long Sound of Music”
If you just absolutely love “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” and “Maria” and all the timeless tunes from “The Sound of Music,” here’s your chance to open your Von Trapp and sing.
After a four-year absence, the “Sing-A-Long Sound of Music” is back by popular demand as the cherished family film returns to The 5th Avenue Theatre, this time with Evening Magazine personality John Curley as host. Tickets are on sale now.
The “Sing-A-Long Sound of Music” includes pre-show festivities, a costume contest and prizes. Audience members get to watch the original “Sound of Music” movie, but all the song lyrics appear subtitled on the 5th Avenue’s giant screen. Audience members also receive an official “fun pack” filled with interactive props. Curley coordinates the vocal warmup and costume contest and gives lessons on participating in “Sing-A-Long’s” signature jeers and cheers.
The sing-along is set for 7 p.m. Jan. 2 and 1 p.m. Jan. 3 at the theater, 1308 Fifth Ave., Seattle. Tickets are $25 for adults and $18 for children 12 and under. Call 206-625-1900, 888-584-4849 or go to www.5thavenue.org.
The films of 1969
Even 40 years later, films from 1969 still reflect the issues we face today in our world and cinema.
Northwest Film Forum celebrates the 40th anniversary of 1969 with an ambitious survey of films that shaped the consciousness of Americans during this tumultuous year. The “69” series provides film fans a rare opportunity to experience the important works of modern filmmaking as well as the overlooked rarities of the time on the big screen.
From January to December, “69” will offer audiences the unique chance to see dozens of films that shaped the consciousness of audiences 40 years ago. The series kicks off Jan. 9 with two classics from the era, “Easy Rider” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” each on new 35mm prints.
A limited number of $69 passes for the series are available until Jan. 9. After the series begins, filmgoers can purchase tickets at the Northwest Film Forum on Capitol Hill, 1515 12th Ave., Seattle, or online through Brown Paper Tickets, www.brownpapertickets.com.
