R. KELLY'S TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET SING-ALONG
In Trapped in the Closet, R. Kelly's classic hip hopera, Kels takes on the role of Sylvester, who has a simple one-night stand with a preacher's wife and then ends up in a web of preposterous lies and a series of outlandish plot twists ranging from used rubbers on his bed to an asthmatic midget male stripper who likes to hang out with a white chick named Bridget. Throughout all of these misadventures, the drama is played as fiercely straight as R. Kelly, and the tale is told through rhyme after rhyme after rhyme.
Over the years, some audiences have hailed Trapped in the Closet as the "Plan 9 From Outer Space of music videos," while others have recognized it as the masterpiece from our generation's greatest living R&B legend. But whichever camp you fall into, one thing is certain there will be no better cinematic event this year than singing and dancing and playing with props in a theater full of other R. Kelly fans at the fully interactive R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet Sing-Along.
Brought to you by the Action Pack, the group made famous by creating dozens of interactive events for the Alamo Drafthouse, this Sing-Along event will take Trapped in the Closet and give it the full Rocky Horror experience, with subtitles on screen to make it easy to sing-along.
This showing of "Trapped in the Closet" will be the last for this engagement so come and "Bump 'n' Grind" for the last time for what might be quite a while.
