Roll ‘em is a captivating review to bring all your favorite movie songs to live. “We wanted this show to connect to something we all love, and that something is the American movie experience” said Ronda Grigalunas, President of Bad Puppy Productions. “Your first memories of entertainment are probably attending your first movie with your parents. Later, as you got older your first date was probably to a movie. Movies are still the primary, leave-home, entertainment venue”. “Who doesn’t have a favorite movie?” asks Artistic Director Jon Grigalunas. “That was the challenge behind the writing of this show. There is just so very many musical memories and moments that to pick and choose what you are going to put into a two hour show was daunting.”
