Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but just noticed my local Odeon has scheduled a week of 8pm singalong screenings for Mamma Mia!
Can't remember these - except for Rocky Horror Show.
Wondering how popular these are in the US ... or maybe it's the best way to counter complaints from normal movie-goers that members of the audience were singing along during normal showings.
Wotcha reckon?

I went to a Mary Poppins sing along screening at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood when I was in high school. It was a lot of fun. :) |

I edited a book for which MST3K's Kevin Murphy went to a movie each day for a year and reported back. One night, he [a heavy-set bearded chap] dressed in a nun's habit and attended a London singalong SOM performance. I hasten to add that Kevin happens to be a straight man, but he says it was all great fun. That's how I know the singalong SOM has been around for years and years. |

Yeah, they have them at the Prince Charles Cinema all the time, and apparently all over. At the P.C.C. they are presumably very popular, as they cost �14 as opposed to its normal �1.50 to �5. |

No Will & Grace fantasy: they've had them for THE SOUND OF MUSIC...in London! |

How about a singalong screening of "Triumph Of The Will"?
OK, maybe not.

I reckon that would probably be my worst nightmare. I get Rocky Horror, but this? Oy Vey! The people on screen can hardly carry a tune in a wheelbarrow, heavens knows what the audience would sound like!
(I guess I was wrong and that episode from Will and Grace when they go to a singalong for The Sound of Music wasn't some strange fictional idea out of the writer's heads.) |
