Leading Ladies - LGBT Dance Film Premieres in New England, Actress Will Attend
Nicole Dionne, Massachusetts native and lead actress in the award-winning film, Leading Ladies, will be attending its New England Premiere presented by Out! For Reel, the largest LGBT film series in the U.S. on Saturday, Nov. 6, at 7:30 pm at the Academy of Music Theatre in downtown Northampton.
Leading Ladies, described by Variety as "an easygoing musical...(and) impressive first feature" is a highly entertaining film about true love, coming out, family, and dancing. An After Party follows the film at the Clarion Hotel, Northampton, 9:30 pm - 12:30 am. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres, dance music, and cash bars will be provided.
The film, starring Benji Schwimmer, (2006 winner of So You Think You Can Dance), and renowned ballroom and Latin dancer Melanie LaPatin. Schwimmer, showing off his dancing talent and sex appeal in several dance scenes, steals the show in his over the top dance number on a bar in a glitzy gay nightclub.
Leading Ladies is packed with astounding dance sequences and an infectious pop soundtrack. Family drama and coming out have never been better choreographed than in this uplifting modern dance musical. Leading Ladies is alternately outrageous and touching, and sure to please everyone from film buffs to dance lovers to Hairspray fans.
