Sure, Screen on the Green is showing some of the hottest new releases this summer... but we're pretty excited about the oldies too! Musicals and teen dramas are taking centre stage and taking us straight back in time throughout August. Get the full schedule at: www.getintonewcastle.co.uk
THE PRINCESS DIARIES
A teenage classic, The Princess Diaries is a blast from the past for anyone who grew up in the noughties. Roll up to Old Eldon Square and watch a very young looking Anne Hathaway raise some laughs as Mia Thermopolis, the princess of Genovia. Get the teenage sleepover vibe going with sweets, popcorn and blankets, and remember your tiara!

WEST SIDE STORY
Newcastle’s musical fans are sure to descend on the city centre later this month to catch Westside Story at Screen on the Green. A total classic, the screening is set to have the audience singing along to classics including ‘I Feel Pretty’ and ‘America’, and maybe even dancing in the aisles. Swap the toon for the mean streets of New York and let the film transport you to a world of drama, violence and romance!

GREASE
Summer nights have never looked better - everyone’s favourite musical Grease is making an appearance at Screen on the Green! Hopeless devotees of the musical gem will want to get practicing their hand jive and digging out their leather jackets, because Grease is the word this August. There are certainly worse things you could do with a Tuesday evening…

BIG
We’ve got big love for Big over at NE1, and it’s another golden oldie that’s not to be missed at Screen on the Green. Tom Hanks grows up overnight, resulting in a classic comedy performance and guaranteed laughs, not to mention that iconic giant piano scene. It’s worth keeping the kids up a little past bedtime for, or catching before heading out for drinks with friends.

HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS
Did anyone else used to love this sci-fi comedy back in the ‘90s? Starring Rick Moranis as hapless inventor Wayne, the film takes its audience on a crazy ride through a miniature world which will have your—and your kids—imagination going wild. Take the family or gather together your childhood pals for a trip down memory lane.
