SUMMARY:Gene Kelly
DESCRIPTION:It is one of the single most iconic moments in the history of the movies: Gene Kelly dancing with absolute joy in a rainstorm in Singing In The Rain.  \nThat unforgettable moment showcases so many things – a brilliant dancer and choreographer at the height of his powers is highlighted on a magnificent set\, singing a glorious song that reflects every reason why we love going to the movies in the first place. \nLike King Kong atop the Empire State Building\, Dorothy clicking her heels\, Indiana Jones running from the boulder or Cary Grant chased by an airplane\, that moment is forever etched in the minds of movie lovers. \nIn this fast moving and fun multimedia biography we will look at the life\, career\, personality and art of the great Gene Kelly. We will trace his Pittsburgh roots and follow him as a cocky kid determined to conquer dance\, Broadway and Hollywood. He redefined dance on the silver screen. Gene Kelly ditched Fred Astaire’s top hot and tails\, replacing them with a sweatshirt and loafers. His masculine dancing\, emphasis on ballet\, inventive use if props and partners all combined to make his films immediately unique and completely unforgettable. We will see clips of him dancing with partners as different as Rita Hayworth\, Fred Astaire\, Judy Garland and Jerry The Mouse! \nCome prepared to smile – and tap your toes!

SUMMARY:The King And I - Story Of The Real Anna
DESCRIPTION:“The King and I ” is one of the most beloved musicals. The gorgeous music\, lavish sets\, phenomenal costumes\, and fascinating storyline combine to make The King and I a musical that has had decades of popularity on Broadway and as a significant movie musical. The most recent Broadway revival\, stage to perfection by Lincoln Center and pictured above\, was a critical and popular smash. It won the Tony Award for Best Revival Of A Musical. This is the revival that is coming to the Broadway in Chicago series. \nIn this unique\, brand-new multimedia presentation\, we will look at the true story behind “The King and I.”  There actually was a British schoolteacher named Anna Owens who went to Siam (as it was then called) in the mid-1800s to teach the children of the King. As you will see\, the Broadway and Hollywood musical versions take great liberties with the actual story. While we love the music\, costumes\, songs\, and sets\, “The King and I” is banned and despised throughout Thailand today! We will look into all that and much more\, including clips from all the movie versions of the story. This is a presentation you will not want to miss! \nWe will trace the Broadway productions featuring the glorious revival which appeared at Broadway in Chicago. \nBonus!!!! Click here to read about real-life Anna!
