Travolta and Blonsky in a scene from the movie

Thursday night, the final performance of the Movies on the Lawn 2008 series will take place at a drive in at Crabmeadow Beach with the showing of “Hairspray,” starring John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Christopher Walkin.

The movie, an adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical about star-struck teens on a Baltimore dance show, also stars Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, and Queen Latifah, and it was directed by Adam Shankman.

A classic car show is planned before the movie starts, but since parking is very limited, those wishing to park and show their classic vehicle in this reserved parking section that evening must call 631-351-3112 before Wednesday. You can leave a message with your name and year/type of car coming that evening.

Gates to the beach will open approximately 6:00 p.m. and the movie will begin at darkness (approximately 8:45 p.m.)

The town asks that you bring folding/lawn chairs in the event the drive in lot fills early. Overflow parking will be available at the Crab Meadow Golf Course and bus service will be provided back and forth to the beach. For information, please call 351-3112.
