Win Tickets to Spend Mother's Day with 'Mommie Dearest'



If you're a fan of the 1981 camptacular classic, Mommie Dearest, starring the scenery-chewing Faye Dunaway as Joan "No wire hangers!" Crawford, then you definitely don't want to miss the 4th Annual Mother's Day with Mommie Dearest at Chicago's Music Box Theatre (3733 N. Southport Ave) on Sunday, May 8.

Hosted by the delightful Dick O'Day and Hell in a Handbag's David Cerda, this 30th anniversary screening of the infamous film will begin with a pre-show at 1:30 pm featuring a Mother/Daughter matching outfit contest, prizes, a Sing-A-Long, and a music video of "Joan Crawford Goes to Hell" by The Joans, the world's first band dedicated to "giving Joan Crawford a rock-n-roll voice." And if you arrive by 1 pm, you can have your picture taken in the lobby with Joan and her darling daughter, Christina (see pic below), with all photo proceeds benefiting Vital Bridges. Also, the first 300 patrons will receive souvenir wire hangers!

So today Deep Dish is giving away a pair of general admission tickets (with preferred seating) for this fabulous screening to the first two readers who correctly complete the following quotes from Mommie Dearest. Please send your answers to deepdishdrama@aol.com or via a private Facebook message (DO NOT post your answers on here where everyone can see them or they will be deleted).

1. Joan: "Why can't you give me the respect that I'm entitled to? Why can't you treat me like I would be treated by any _______ on the street?"

2. Christina: "Because I am NOT one of your _______."

3. Joan: "Helga, I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the _______."

4. Joan: "Don't _______ with me, fellas. This ain't my first time at the _______."

5. Joan: "Tina! Bring me the _______!"

General admission tickets for Mother's Day with Mommie Dearest are $12 and can be purchased online at www.vendini.com or at the theater box office. You can also purchase VIM (Very Important Mother) tickets for $28.50 that include brunch beginning at 11 am at Blue Bayou (3734 N. Southport) with preferred seating at the theatre.

I would love to go to this! I think I should start something similar in Minneapolis!

Honestly, if you can't fill in any of those blanks you should probably just go ahead and hand in your gay card.

I agree, Matt! :)

Have you ever seen "Broadway Damage" starring Mara Hobel who played little Cristina Crawford?

Hey, Victor, I did see Broadway Damage when it first came out years ago - and I enjoyed it.
