Festival Brunch hosted by Thom Ernst “An Introduction to Musicals for those who hate Musicals”
Thom Ernst is a film critic, commentator and broadcaster and although he can neither sing nor dance – he has long been an outspoken champion of the movie musical. "Because no one breaks out in song and dance in reality is not what's wrong with musicals," says Thom, "it's what's wrong with reality." Now for the first time Thom shares his passion and affection for what many see as one of the most maligned genres in the movie industry. Take a journey with Thom as he reveals through the use of film clips and soundtracks some of the best moments in music movie history. Bring your tap shoes - you just might be inspired to dance along!
There will be a delicious brunch catered by Cravings Fine Food Market and Catering.
