MGM | Musicals at the Awards
Looking for alternatives to football on the day of the big game? MGM HD brings tunes, not touchdowns with a game-day lineup for those who wish the half-time show was the ONLY show. As part of MGM at the Awards, catch a marathon of six award-winning stars and musicals in gorgeous 1080i HD, featuring music from Louis Armstrong to Abba, Duke Ellington to The Village People.
- Hair (1979), With exuberance, inventiveness and humor, Treat Williams and Beverly D'Angelo lead a cast of stars in this film version of one of Broadway's most popular musicals of all time.
- The Cotton Club (1984), It was the Jazz Age's most electrifying showcase and Harlem's most notorious speakeasy. Richard Gere plays a jazz musician who saves a mobster's life, only to fight for his own when he falls for the gangster's moll. Gregory Hines also stars as a dancer battling the prejudice of the day.
- The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (1994), Fun, daring and over-the-top, this Oscar®-winning musical takes a road trip with two drag queens and a transsexual who get a cabaret gig in the middle of the Australian outback.
- A Song is Born (1948), This lavish Technicolor remake of an original Billy Wilder story features a stellar supporting cast of musical legends, including Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong and others.
- The Fantasticks (2000), Based on the longest-running musical in the world, this bewitching musical comedy follows the scheming of two neighboring fathers who attempt to spark a romance between their children by faking a feud.
- Moulin Rouge (1954), With Zsa Zsa Gablor and José Ferrer's performances, and John Huston's Oscar® nominated direction, Moulin Rouge is the fascinating story of troubled 19th century artist, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, brought passionately to life.
The marathon kicks off on Sunday, February 7th at 2pm EST/11am PST.
