This week at the Harbor Theater
"Wicked: For Good" - (PG; 2 hours, 20 minutes) - Directed again by Jon M. Chu, the sequel is tighter and more focused, expanding the Broadway musical’s second act with dazzling visuals and powerful performances from Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (Glinda). The pair bring new depth to a friendship tested by fear, propaganda, and the fight for what’s right. Branded an enemy of Oz, Elphaba becomes a broom-riding disruptor of the Wizard’s plans, while Glinda serves as the shining face of his regime—yet their complicated bond remains the heart of the film. With heightened romantic and political tensions, richer origins for the Scarecrow and Tin Man, an epic witch duel, and jaw-dropping sets and costumes, Wicked: For Good delivers a magical, modern spectacle that truly soars. Final shows: Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2 p.m. (OCAP) and Thursday, Jan. 1 at 7 p.m.
"The Lion In Winter" - (1968; PG; 2 hours, 12 minutes) - Lunch with a Classic Series - December’s Lunch with the Classics featuring the award-winning historical drama, The Lion in Winter. Set during Christmas in 1183, the film finds King Henry II (Peter O’Toole) preparing to name his successor—igniting a fierce battle for the crown. Henry favors his youngest son, Prince John (Nigel Terry), while his formidable wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (Katharine Hepburn), champions their son Richard (Anthony Hopkins). What follows is a sharp, witty, and riveting clash of power, family, and ambition, brought to life by some of cinema’s most legendary performances. ONE SHOW ONLY! Tuesday, Dec. 30, 1 p.m. Themed lunch served at 12:30 p.m. Tickets for the film & lunch: Members, $15 and non-members $19. Film only: Members, $8 and $12 for non-members.
“All that's ever mattered about The Lion in Winter are Hepburn and O'Toole, and the pleasure we take from watching two masters inspire each other to greatness. Scenery chewing has rarely been so artful.” – Chuck Wilson, Village Voice
"Sentimental Value" - (R; 2 hours, 13 minutes) - Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father -- and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.
“Skarsgård is magnificent as the charismatic, unreliable Gustav, but the film’s secret weapon is Elle Fanning’s hapless US starlet.” – Wendy Ide, Observer (UK)
