"Big Night" stars Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalub and tells the story of two brothers who own an Italian restaurant in New Jersey.

But when bandleader Louis Prima plans a visit to taste their exquisite menu, the two brothers arrange a fabulous meal which will decide the fate of their restaurant. Curtain Call's recreation of that authentic Italian feast promises to be an epicurean delight. Tickets are $85 per person, $90 day of the event.

Curtain Call is thrilled to show this classic and bring Babette's divine meal to life. While we cannot include the exact items Babette used (1840's wine is a little hard to come by), our chefs will present a seven-course meal inspired by the one in the film as our dining room is transformed into a candle-lit version inspired by the movie.
