Chevy Chase to attend 35th anniversary screening of ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ in Rochester
Chevy Chase is coming to Rochester for a 35th anniversary screening of “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”
The comedy legend and his wife, Jayni, will be at the West Herr Auditorium Theatre, 885 E. Main St., for the 7:30 p.m. screening on Sunday, Dec. 29, and afterward will share stories and take audience questions about the Christmas classic and Chase’s career.
Tickets start at $48.50. Presales began Sept. 9 at Ticketmaster.com. They go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 13. A limited number of VIP tickets, including a meet-and-greet and photo opportunities with Chase, also will be sold.
Released in 1989, the movie is the third installment in National Lampoon’s “Vacation” series. It was written by John Hughes and co-stars Beverly D’Angelo and Randy Quaid.
Movie about first 'Saturday Night Live' episode
Meanwhile, a movie about the Oct. 11, 1975, premiere of “Saturday Night Live,” which made Chase a household name, arrives in theaters starting Sept. 27. Cory Michael Smith (FOX’s “Gotham” and the film “May December”) plays Chase in “Saturday Night,” a behind-the-scenes look at the sketch comedy show’s first live broadcast on NBC.
Cooper Hoffman, son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, plays NBC executive Dick Ebersol.
