“Showgirls” with orchestral accompaniment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As part of the second annual Chattanooga International Film Music Festival this weekend, the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera will provide a live accompaniment to a special screening of the modern classic 1995 film Showgirls<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The award-winning* film was directed by the acclaimed Dutch director Paul Verhoeven and has been praised by film critics including Jonathan Rosenbaum and Jim Hoberman, grossing over $100 million from combined box office and home video revenues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Sure, we’ve all seen and enjoyed Showgirls<\/i> many times at home, and it’s even a Thanksgiving tradition with my family,” said Chattanooga Symphony publicist Cristal Malone. “But to experience seeing it on a big screen, with a full symphony orchestra providing a live score, that’s something really special and rare.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“When Nomi gives Zack a lap dance at Cheetah’s, the swell of the orchestra really makes that scene come alive,” said Malone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s a major achievement in film, made better with a live orchestra,” said Malone. “This screening and performance at the Tivoli Theatre will have it all \u2013 music, singing, dancing. And most importantly, tits.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
