Bobby McFerrin, winner of ten Grammys and creator of the #1 global hit “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” continues to explore uncharted musical territory and connect people through the unlimited possibilities of music.

Angélique Kidjo’s reinterpreted version of the Talking Heads’ Remain in Light adds electrifying rhythms and African guitars.

CURATOR'S CORNER AN AMERICAN TREASURE, AFRICA'S PREMIER DIVA, AND MORE Thérèse LaGamma, Deputy Director of Programming & Performing Arts Curator This season we’re excited to announce dates for a couple of iconic figures in the music world!

Ten-time Grammy Award winner and vocal virtuoso, Bobby McFerrin’s shows have a way about filling you with joy and wonder, and a sudden, irreversible urge to lead a more spontaneous existence. His style is jazz, pop, R&B, classical and world music—or, more accurately, out-of-this-world music—all rolled into one. Catch this American treasure in our own American Treasure, The Music Hall on Saturday, February 29. “Bobby McFerrin's greatest gift to his audience may be changing them from spectators into celebrants,” says the Los Angeles Times, “transforming a concert hall into a playground, a village center, a joyous space.”

Three-time Grammy Award winner and iconic West African singer, Angélique Kidjo will be touring behind her newest project—an interpretation of the celebrated Talking Heads album Remain in Light. Recent appearances have taken her to the Hollywood Bowl, opening for Vampire Weekend at Madison Square Garden, Austin City Limits, and Carnegie Hall. Time Magazine calls her “Africa's premier diva.” The BBC has included her in its list of the continent's 50 most iconic figures, and in 2011 The Guardian listed her as one of their Top 100 Most Inspiring Women in the World. Forbes Magazine has ranked Angélique as the first woman in its list of the Most Powerful Celebrities in Africa. Buy your tickets early for her appearance on Saturday, April 4!

In the Loft, we welcome balladeer Sam Amidon on August 9, finger-picking virtuoso Sunny War on September 6, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Staples on September 7. Don’t miss out! Sign up for the enews at TheMusicHall.org and be the first to hear, as new shows are announced throughout the season.

EXTRAORDINARY CINEMA SERIES SPONSOR:

ROCKETMAN R

• 2h 1m • UK 8/3, 8/6 • 7pm; 8/4 • 4pm; 8/9 • 3pm An epic musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John's breakthrough years. The film follows the fantastical journey of transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into international superstar Elton John. This inspirational story­—set to Elton John’s most beloved songs and performed by star Taron Egerton—tells the universally relatable story of how a small-town boy became one of the most iconic figures in pop culture.

THE DEAD DON'T DIE R

• 1h 44m • US 8/10, 8/13, 8/14 • 7pm; 8/11 • 4pm In the sleepy small town of Centerville, something is not quite right. The moon hangs large and low in the sky, the hours of daylight are becoming unpredictable, and animals are beginning to exhibit unusual behaviors. No one quite knows why. From writer-director Jim Jarmusch (Paterson, Gimme Danger) comes a star-studded horror comedy featuring an ensemble cast of Jarmusch regulars (Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloë Sevigny, Tilda Swinton, Iggy Pop, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits) and newcomers to the fold in a raucous, rueful, and satirical glimpse at American habits and desires at the end of the world.

LATE NIGHT R

• 1h 42m • US 8/16 • 3pm; 8/16, 8/17, 8/20, 8/21 • 7pm Legendary late-night talk show host’s (Emma Thompson) world is turned upside down when she hires her only female staff writer (Mindy Kaling). Originally intended to smooth over diversity concerns, her decision has unexpectedly hilarious consequences as the two women separated by culture and generation are united by their love of a biting punchline.

MAIDEN PG

• 1h 37m • UK 8/23 • 3pm; 8/23, 8/27, 8/28 • 7pm; 8/25 • 4pm Maiden is the story of how Tracy Edwards, a 24-year-old cook on charter boats, became the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World in 1989. Tracy's inspirational dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it; the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure; and potential sponsors rejected her, fearing they would die at sea and generate bad publicity. But Tracy refused to give up.

From acclaimed writer-director Joanna Hogg comes an enigmatic and personal portrait of the artist as a young woman.

THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO R

• 2h 1m • US 8/10, 8/14, 8/15 • 7pm Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind. A poignant and sweeping story of hometowns and how they’re made—and kept alive— by the people who love them.

MEETING GORBACHEV NR

• 1h 30m • UK 8/21, 8/22, 8/23 • 7pm Werner Herzog and André Singer’s riveting documentary, filled with unforgettable archive materials and based on three long interviews, provides incredible access to, arguably, the world's greatest living politician. Now 87 and battling illness, the visionary Mikhail Gorbachev, former General Secretary of the U.S.S.R, has mellowed and slowed down. Still, gently but resolutely, he is pushing toward his goals.

MIKE WALLACE IS HERE PG13

• 1h 34m • US 8/24, 8/27, 8/28, 8/29 • 7pm For over half a century, 60 Minutes’s fearsome newsman Mike Wallace went head-tohead with the world's most influential figures. Relying exclusively on archival footage, the film interrogates the interrogator, tracking Mike's storied career and troubled personal life while unpacking how broadcast journalism evolved to today's precarious tipping point.

Thanks for a Great Concert in the Lot! In June, we partnered with the City of Portsmouth on a concert in the Worth Parking Lot to demonstrate the space’s potential, and we had a blast doing so! Rebirth Brass Band, Sweet Crude, and Jumbo Circus Peanuts kept everyone dancing and grooving, while the incredible assortment of food trucks and vendors served up some New Orleans-inspired delights. We are so grateful to the City of Portsmouth, our sponsors, and the vendors who contributed to this feel-good event!

We Filled the Hall— and Then Some!

An astounding arrangement of Gather reusable bags filled seats and created a rainbow in the Historic Theater on June 22 this year. Once again, Portsmouth showed its pride for its community and to support local kids and organizations during Fill The Hall.

The fifth annual Fill The Hall Food Drive collected over 8,000 lbs of food and raised over $6,000 in donations for Gather's Summer Meals 4 Kids program. The program fills the meals kids miss when they aren't getting the school's subsidized meals during the summer months. The need was even greater this year with an additional 300 kids from the Rochester area. Because of the efforts of many of you, this event will help provide 900 kids with 10 meals a week for the 11 weeks of summer.

Diligent and kind volunteers sorted, checked, packed, and carried donations all over the theater and to Gather’s vehicles.

Families continued the tradition of volunteering together and out-of-town visitors stopped by to see the bags build up.

Next year, we hope to see you dropping off more bags of food, so we can fit TWO bags per seat and keep this incredible and inspiring effort going.

Thank you to our Corporate Partners 12

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT Building a Relationship with Auger Building Company Ben Auger, principal of Auger Building Company, considers himself “fortunate to be aligned with artisans who produce with enthusiasm, intention, and the highest levels of craft, creativity, and efficiency.” We feel the same way about our work. Perhaps that recognition of kindred spirits is what brought Ben to The Music Hall nearly 20 years ago. Or maybe it was his appreciation of our Historic Theater. Known as a builder of high-end custom homes, Ben appreciates combining beauty and function to bring tears of joy and goosebumps to his clients. Sounds like the feeling you get at a great show at The Music Hall!

When was the last time you saw the Auger Building Company logo? The answer must be recently. It’s wrapped around your Music Hall tickets— Auger generously sponsors our ticket envelopes. It’s also wrapped around 135 Congress Street—Auger is the general contractor on the project to restore the former YMCA building. Auger Building Company was also very involved in The Music Hall’s recent renovations, including our Streetscape project. Ben Auger himself was instrumental in that work, going above and beyond his role as chair of the Facilities Committee to ensure the success of this transformational effort. A community-supported 501(c)3, The Music Hall would not be the economic powerhouse and cultural destination we’ve become without the generous support, including contributions of time, talent, and treasure, from local businesspeople like Ben. We are so grateful for the continued involvement of our corporate sponsors—as well as you, our members.
