Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment latest animated adventure, “SING” is scheduled at the historic Marion Palace Theatre March 10 through March 12, 2017. Featuring more than 65 hit songs and some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, “SING” is fun family entertainment for all ages.
Universal Pictures provides a synopsis of the musical comedy:
Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, “SING” stars Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey), a dapper koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal—some might even say delusional—optimist who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now faced with the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Five lead contestants emerge: Mike (Seth MacFarlane), a mouse who croons as smoothly as he cons; Meena (Tori Kelly), a timid teenage elephant with an enormous case of stage fright; Rosita (Reese Witherspoon), an overtaxed mother run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets; Johnny (Taron Egerton), a young gangster gorilla looking to break free of his family’s felonies; and Ash (Scarlett Johansson), a punk-rock porcupine struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo.
They all arrive under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life. And as Buster coaches his contestants closer and closer to the grand finale, he starts to learn that maybe the theater isn’t the only thing that is in need of saving
