Big Gay Matinee: Burlesque

Join the Denver Film Society in celebrating the gay cult classics every month at the Big Gay Matinee! Complete your Sunday Funday - after you brunch and before you hit beer bust - and take a look at what makes some films catnip for gay audiences. Come early for pre-show entertainment, drink specials and more hosted by Keith Garcia and friends!

Next screening is Burlesque on September 23. Ali (Christina Aguilera), a small-town gal with a great voice, leaves a troubled life behind and follows her dreams to Los Angeles. She lands a job as a cocktail waitress at the Burlesque Lounge, a once-majestic theater that houses an inspired musical revue led by Tess (Cher), the proprietor. Ali vows to perform there and, with the help of a savvy stage manager and a gender-bending host, she makes the leap from bar to stage, helping restore the club's former glory.
