Ladies, break out your fringed flapper dresses, headbands and long strands of beads; guys, look suave in pin-stripe suits, fedoras and spats. “The Great Gatsby” is coming to the Tivoli Theatre, 709 Broad St., on Saturday night, June 1, and you’re asked to dress for the occasion.
To open the movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, there will be a pre-show cocktail reception in the Tivoli lobby featuring music, food and specialty drinks reminiscent of the Roaring ’20s. The party is presented by the West Village.
The party starts at 6 p.m. followed by “The Great Gatsby” at 8.
“The Great Gatsby” tells the story of Midwest native Nick Carraway (played by Tobey Maguire), who arrives in 1922 New York in search of the American dream. Nick, a would-be writer, moves in next-door to millionaire Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton). Thus, Nick becomes drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy, their illusions and deceits in a tale of impossible love and tragedy.
Tickets for the theme party and movie are $50.
Tickets for the movie only are $12 adults, $10 children 12 and younger or senior adults age 65 and older.
