All that jazz is coming to Wyndham next month.
On Sunday, June 9, Chicago will be screened at the Wyndham Cultural Centre.
The Sunday Movie Club screening of the musical’s screen adaptation event will also feature live acts from some of Melbourne’s best burlesque performers, drag queens and cabaret artists.
Attendees will be encouraged to join in singalongs, costume competitions and games.
Wyndhams arts, culture and heritage portfolio holder Tony Hooper said Sunday Movie Club events had been a huge hit.
“Most of our shows, including The Rocky Horror Picture Show, have had record sales, so make sure you book early,” Cr Hooper said.
“It’s great to see the audience members dress up and feel like they are part of the performance.”
Another event to get Wyndham into a jazz groove will be held on Friday, June 14.
Live Jazz in the Library at the Plaza Library at Pacific Werribee will be rocked by the Slipdixies.
The band, which often plays at music festivals, is known for its New Orleans-inspired sounds of 1920s and 1930s jazz and blues.
The gig, for people aged 18-plus, will run from 7am-10pm.
Live Jazz in the Library is a free event but bookings are required on 8734 2600 or wyndham.vic.gov.au/services/libraries.
Tickets to Chicago at the Wyndham Cultural Centre cost $15. Bookings: wyncc.com.au
