1984's rock-musical drama and Academy Award winner for Original Song Score, Purple Rain is the latest live show at the new simultaneously cinematic and theatrical drive-in and includes specially interwoven musical numbers from the hit-movie, including Let's Go Crazy, Jungle Love, Take Me With U, The Beautiful Ones, Darling Nikki, Sex Shooter, The Bird, I Would Die For You, and Baby I'm A Star performed in-time with the movie, alongside a live 8- piece band.

Radial Park is a brand-new Broadway-centric drive-in movie experience featuring live performances at Halletts Point Play, a 50,000 square-foot open-air space in Astoria, Queens, located along the waterfront, with views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline. The first-of-its-kind drive-in features a variety of experiences including live performances from Broadway stars, movies on the big screen, movie-style concessions, food trucks and much more.
