Music Box Theatre says…

Based on the scandalous tell-all memoir by Joan Crawford's daughter, Mommie Dearest is the quintessential Mother's Day movie. An enduring camp classic — thanks in no small part to Faye Dunaway's over-the-top performance — the film's portrayal of the psychopathic, ultra-competitive mother-from-hell is loads of hilarious, terrifying, and eminently quotable fun. This afternoon, celebrate Mother's Day with an interactive screening of the film, in all its shrieking glory. Arrive early for a pre-show hosted by Dick O'Day, which features a Crawford look-alike contest, prizes, and a performance by the sultry, Crawford-obsessed new-wave quartet the Joans. Bring your darling mummy — but leave the wire hangers at home.
