New Year's Eve screening of Baz Luhrmann's ballroom romance 'Strictly Ballroom', starring Paul Mercurio and Tara Morice.
The Odyssey Cinema is showing Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom on Thursday 31 December, a New Year's Eve screening that starts at 17:30 and runs until 19:29. It's an early one, which works if you're planning to be out later in the evening rather than spending the whole night in the cinema.
Strictly Ballroom is the ballroom romance that launched Baz Luhrmann's career, starring Paul Mercurio and Tara Morice. It follows a competitive dancer who decides to throw the rulebook out of the window and finds a new partner in Fran, played by Morice. It's a story about dancing for the love of it rather than the points, and it's the kind of colourful, high-energy film that fits a New Year's Eve slot.
Tickets are £14 to £16, with VIP seats at £18, plus a £3.00 transaction fee. Seating is allocated by section, with options upstairs and downstairs, so you'll want to pick your spot rather than leaving it to chance. The film is rated 12A, and proof of age may be required, so keep that in mind if you're bringing younger ones along.
