December 19, 2022. TriStar Pictures & Frameline invite you and a guest to a free advance screening of the Whitney Houston biopic, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, on Monday, December 19 at 7:30pm at the CGV San Francisco 14. Tickets are limited. We recommend arriving early.

I Wanna Dance with Somebody is a powerful and triumphant celebration of the incomparable Whitney Houston. Directed by Kasi Lemmons (Harriet, Eve's Bayou), written by Academy Award® nominee Anthony McCarten (Bohemian Rhapsody), produced by legendary music executive Clive Davis and starring BAFTA Award® winner Naomi Ackie (Netflix's Master of None, Hulu's The Bisexual), the film is a no-holds-barred portrait of the complex and multifaceted woman behind The Voice. From New Jersey choir girl to one of the best-selling and most awarded recording artists of all time, audiences are taken on an inspirational, poignant — and so emotional — journey through Houston’s trailblazing life and career, with show-stopping performances and a soundtrack of the icon’s most beloved hits as you’ve never heard them before. Don’t you wanna dance?

Starring Naomi Ackie, Stanley Tucci, Ashton Sanders, Tamara Tunie, Nafessa Williams, and Clarke Peters.
