New York, New York is a wonderful town, and this summer, we’re going to celebrate it with songs, sailors and a classic NYC film 🗽📽️

On July 8, join the Downtown Alliance, the Battery Conservancy and PAC NYC for a special outdoor screening of the beloved MGM musical “On the Town” (1949) in the heart of the Battery.

In early July, New York Harbor will come to life with tall ships, maritime celebrations and patriotic festivities to celebrate America250, Sail4th NYC and Fleet Week. What better way to harness that energy than gathering on the waterfront for a classic film that captures the spirit and optimism of NYC? Starring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin as three sailors on a whirlwind 24-hour shore leave, “On the Town” is a joyful love letter to the city featuring iconic landmarks and unforgettable musical numbers.

This interactive evening will include giveaways, surprise performances and more! Pack a blanket, bring friends and family and enjoy a magical musical evening under the stars. The screening begins at 7:30 p.m., with doors at 6 p.m. Admission is free; registration is encouraged. Learn more at the link in our bio 🔗 …

Congrats are in order to our friends at @pac_nyc and the entire team behind the glorious, maximalist fantasia that is “Cats: The Jellicle Ball” 🪩🏳️‍🌈

The reimagining of the beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber musical was born right here in Lower Manhattan, on PAC NYC’s dynamic stages during their inaugural season back in June 2024. Directed by Bill Rauch, who also serves as the PAC’s Artistic Director, and Zhailon Levingston, the show is set in a nightclub and shines a light on gay ballroom culture, which began in New York City’s queer Black and Latinx communities in the 1970s.

Last night, “Cats: The Jellicle Ball” took home Tony Awards in three categories, making history for PAC NYC and beyond: Qween Jean, who won for Best Costume Design of a Musical, became the first openly transgender person to win a Tony Award, and Levingston became just the third Black director to win Best Direction of a Musical.
