Get ready to smell the glove, and beware the patron saint of quality footwear. The 92nd St. Y outpost in TriBeCa is hosting a late-night sing-along of the greatest mockumentary ever made, the towering classic THIS IS SPINAL TAP, Rob Reiner’s triumphant tale of three heavy metal heads – Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) – and a series of highly flammable drummers as the band attempts a comeback. The hysterical film, which does indeed go all the way up to eleven, includes cameos by Bruno Kirby, Ed Begley Jr., Dana Carvey, Fran Drescher, Billy Crystal, Howard Hesseman, Paul Benedict, Paul Shaffer, Anjelica Huston, Fred Willard, and, yes, the one and only Patrick MacNee. Prizes will be given out – as well as one free beer per ticket holder – so come in costume, ready to belt out such unforgettable hits as “Hell Hole,” “Big Bottom,” “Sex Farm,” and, of course, “Stonehenge.”
