Don your best up-do, dust off your dancing shoes and get on over to the Bowery Theatre next week to experience a cult-classic musical like never before.
Brimbank audiences have the opportunity to devour the popular 1988 film Hairspray in a whole new interactive and sensory way – with a scented screening planned for January 24.
Presented by Brimbank council in collaboration with Snivure and Scented Storytelling, the evening is expected to leave your noses and eyes satisfied.
“The screenings are set to be a treat for the senses, with the sound and vision of these movie classics elevated by the release of scents across the theatre,” mayor Thuy Dang said.
“[It’s] a ‘smell-o-vision’ experience that will make you feel like you were really there.”
The upcoming screening is part of the Midsumma Festival’s Go West program, supported by council.
“These events are a great way for the LGBTQIA+ community to connect in a safe and supported environment, and they are part of the council’s LGBTQIA+ Action Plan 2024-2028,” Cr Dang said.
Under the same initiative, the Bowery Theatre will also screen the New Zealand and Tongan LGBTQIA+ film, Inky Pinky Ponky on February 7.
The Hairspray screening will start at 6 pm Friday, January 24, at the Bowery Theatre and St Albans Community Centre.
This screening is free but registrations are required.
