Let Loose: Have Fun in Alexandria This Weekend
Looking for something to do? Here are a few suggestions
ALEXANDRIA, VA – Whether you are just visiting, new to town, or a longtime resident, there’s always something to do in Alexandria. In a few days, the calendar will turn over to June. That’s worth celebrating! So enjoy yourself!
Rocketman
Opens Friday, May 31
For times and tickets, CLICK HERE.
This long-awaited motion picture about the life of Elton John is called an “epic musical fantasy.” Starring Taron Egerton as the world-renowned musician, the movie’s popularity at the box office may rival that of last year’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Unlike Rami Malik’s fantastic, award-winning transformation into Freddie Mercury, Egerton sang vocals for every song featured in the film. Rocketman is rated R – that means not family-friendly.
