Paul Williams (Swan) and Peter Elbling, Archie Hahn and Jeffrey Comanor (The Juicy Fruits) will appear as special guests, "along with others" according to the official Facebook post.

The main event at 7PM will feature a screening of the film, a cast QnA session, a costume competition, and a live performance by the tribute band SWANAGE, with more fun to be announced in the future.

A 2PM matinee with the cast is also being held.

The 7PM event is now sold out, though tickets are occasionally being officially resold on Ticketmaster, so keep an eye out!
