May 22 - May 24, 2026 It's Showtime at the AC! Series | AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, COVER GIRL, WEST SIDE STORY in 70mm, LA LA LAND, THE LOVE PARADE, MOULIN ROUGE!
ABOUT THE SERIES: Join us for another sparkling edition of ‘It’s Showtime at the AC!,’ a series hosted by the American Cinematheque dedicated to celebrating the art form of the movie musical, both the traditional and contemporary. This year, we zoom in on the theme of the “dynamic duo.” Famous duos have graced the big screen and made audiences fall in love over and over again. We’ll kick things off with a classic Gene Kelly (an iconic king of duos) double feature of AN AMERICAN IN PARIS and COVER GIRL. Next up, another classic duo will grace the big screen in 70MM with WEST SIDE STORY at the Egyptian Theatre. In the evening, we’ll begin to turn our heads towards the contemporary, starting with a 10-year anniversary screening of LA LA LAND. We’ll finish things off at the Los Feliz 3 with Hollywood’s first movie musical to integrate songs into the narrative, THE LOVE PARADE starring the iconic duo Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette Macdonald. And finally, a special 25th anniversary screening of MOULIN ROUGE! Join the journey as we sit back and let the spectacular dance and song numbers wash over us. It’s Showtime at the AC!
