Chris Perkel’s riveting profile of legendary music man Clive Davis spans a remarkable five-decade career, providing an incredible tour of the most sensational music of the cultural revolution, from the ’60s to the rise of hip-hop. Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Santana, Aretha Franklin, Barry Manilow, Patti Smith, Alicia Keys, Sean “Puffy” Combs, and a great many more attest to Davis as, in Aretha Franklin’s words, “the greatest record man of all time.” This amazing film is definitive, fascinating and ceaselessly entertaining proof.

We will be giving priority entry at the JANE PICKENS THEATER to those who have RSVP’d on a first come, first served basis. An RSVP does NOT guarantee your seat, HOWEVER in an effort to accommodate all guests, once the Jane Pickens Theater is full, we will open the doors at Casino Theatre for overflow seating/viewing of the film.

Live music and Q&A with director Chris Perkel & Clive Davis will ONLY happen at Jane Pickens Theater.

The Casino Theater will be for film viewing only, and the doors will not open until the Jane Pickens Theater is full.

Starting at 6:45pm, there will be 2 separate lines outside at the Jane Pickens Theater – a line for those who have RSVP’d & a line for those who have not. Again, we will accommodate the RSVP line first.

The only food available for purchase tonight will be from the Jane Pickens concession stand, and unfortunately, there will be no free popcorn at either venue.
