That Thing You Do
April 24 / 7:30 pm & April 26 / 2:00 pm
Starring Tom Hanks, Liv Tyler, and Charlize Theron
A local Pennsylvania band scores a one-hit wonder in 1964 and rides the star-making machinery as long as they can, with lots of help from their manager.
Adam Schlesinger, the bassist of Fountains of Wayne, penned the title song in response to a contest being held by the studio. Their song won, being used in the movie. The movie was released shortly after their first album.
Tom Hanks named his production company Play-Tone after the fictional record label in the movie.
The four actors playing The Wonders rehearsed as a band for eight weeks to get the feel of performing, but most of their performances in the film were dubbed by other musicians.
