enjoy a blast from the 1970s this weekend

Unleash your inner 70s diva tonight!

Senator Tommy Banks is presenting a "Funkadelic Evening with Celebrity Revue". Celebrity Revue was a popular talk show/variety show from the 1970s, hosted by Tommy Banks. It was one of the top Canadian productions at the time and attracted such big name guests as Jay Leno, David Letterman and Rosemary Clooney.

Despite the fact that it was actually shot in Vancouver (apparently it was cheaper to fly the guests into Vancouver over Edmonton at the time) it had an Edmonton-based crew, and of course - the talented Edmontonian, Tommy Banks as the host.

Expect lots of big hair, seventies jump suits and more! There are two showings tonight at the Metro Cinema (in Zeidler Hall, Citedel Theatre) 7 and 9:30pm
