Blue Bayou with Mommie Dearest

The Music Box Theatre and Blue Bayou are teaming up for a Mother's Day celebration that bring film and food together. The Music Box is screening the cult classic Mommie Dearest (1981) but not without a little wining and dining beforehand. Blue Bayou, directly across the street from the Music Box, will be hosting a discounted brunch 9am to 1pm. Mother-child duos will receive 15% off their order when they mention they are attending Mommie Dearest. If you haven't made any Mother's Day plans yet and love cult film/Joan Crawford, this might be the right place to go on Sunday. Just make sure you keep your mom knows to reenact Mommie Dearest at the theater, not at the restaurant. The show and screening start at the Music Box Theatre (3733 North Southport Avenue) at 1:30pm.Tickets for the screening are $12 and can be purchased in advance through Brown Paper Tickets. Reservations for brunch at Blue Bayou can be made by calling (773) 871-3300.
