‘It’s Showtime at the AC’ is a new series hosted by the American Cinematheque dedicated to celebrating the art form of the movie musical, in both traditional and untraditional ways. This inaugural edition of the series will take place from June 21 to June 23.

After connecting with the shy Madeline, a jazz trumpeter named Guy embarks on a quest for a more gregarious paramour, but through a series of twists and turns punctuated by an original score, the two lovers seem destined to be together.
