Will Audrey II take over the world or will Seymour and Audrey defeat it?
Summer Season: The Year of the Musical
For this year’s Summer Season of films at BEAM, we wanted to bring audiences some drama, spectacle, and the opportunity to escape into alternative worlds. We figured that the best way to do that was through the magic of musicals.
From Hollywood staples to modern classics, and with seven titles having special anniversaries, we’ve put together a selection of musicals that will have you feeling nostalgic.
