I saw “Bossa Nova” at this theater years ago. It was odd because the Portuguese was of course not subtitled, while the English was. I had to see the movie in the US to make sense of it. Here is the theater’s website: http://tinyurl.com/69esqb
A good time was had by all at the recent Bob Weir and Ratdog show at the Madison. Caution: Mr. Dog seems to be encouraging you to perform some illegal activity while listening to his music. http://tinyurl.com/5qq9cx
