Dance the night away
this summer with Barbie at Cinema on the Square. Hot pink houses,
fashionable wardrobes and all the beach-ing off you could wish for,

questions lead her on a path of discovery to the real world, Barbie
(and a tag-along Ken) witness the dangers of humanity and learn
about their very different places in it. Featuring an all-star cast
of dolls and a hit summer soundtrack, Greta Gerwig’s 'sublime'
blockbuster will have you laughing, crying and wanting to throw a
giant blowout party with planned choreography… and a bespoke song.
