Spider-Man Brand New Day

It's a brand new day for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn't remember him -- and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him -- sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves -- a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn't forgotten them. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is spectacular! Delivering thrilling action, great story, and the perfect mix of emotion, drama, heart, and humor. Tom Holland’s best performance yet as Spider-Man/Peter Parker.

Hadestown

The live theater capture of the hit, 8-Tony Award winning musical Hadestown! The genre-defying musical blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Hadestown: The Musical is the next-best thing to a front-row seat to this captivating, hugely entertaining musical based on Greek mythology. The performances are electrifying.

Once Upon A Time In A Cinema

Set in a small-town cinema in Ireland during one eventful Friday night screening where everything goes wrong! Over the course of one evening, the film follows the travails of beleaguered cinema owner Earl Clancy as he faces a myriad of disasters, any one of which could sink him. Heart-warming and old-fashioned, Once Upon A Time in a Cinema is a love letter to a peculiarly Irish cinema experience, which was as much about connecting with people as it was about the movie.
