This is the West Coast premiere of the first Andy Warhol retrospective in the U.S. since 1989, and it’s a major exhibition that features more than 300 works by the quintessential pop artist (who, among other things, immortalized the Campbell’s soup can). “Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again” was organized by Donna De Salvo, Senior Curator at the Whitney Museum in New York City, and, to her credit, the show does not shy away from Warhol’s Those pieces on the second floor were of homosexuality and the sometimes-coded special interest to me, since I had never queer content in his art. before seen Warhol’s homoerotic drawings of The main part of the exhibition, on the men or a fun series of gold shoe collages he fourth floor of the museum, is an overview did during his early career. of his entire artistic career, but if you go – I cannot stress enough that this exhibition and you should – do not skip the Warhol is not to be missed, despite its costly price works displayed on the second and fifth tag of $35.

Hayley Kiyoko – I Wish This bisexual babe has been using her pop platform to address issues like trans-violence and to make gay-positive music such as “Girls Like Girls.” The very catchy single “I Wish” is the first new music from Kiyoko since she released her dynamite debut disc, “Expectations,” last year.

Bring The Soul: The Movie The seven-member, South Korean boy band BTS was formed in Seoul in 2013, and their worldwide domination continues with this new concert film, which will be shown numerous times at Sacramento’s Tower Theatre between Aug. 7 and Aug. 18. Featuring live concert footage from their recent “Love Yourself” tour, plus interviews shot on a Paris rooftop after the European leg of the tour, “Bring The Soul: The Movie” should have BTS fans happily screaming their lungs out.

Hello, Dolly! Can it really be 50 years since Barbra Streisand lit up the big screen with her hilarious performance as the marvelous meddling matchmaker Dolly Levi in the movie version of this beloved musical? On stage, Carol Channing and more recently Bette Midler owned the role, but Babs is the eternal Dolly on film, and she wrings every ounce of humor out of the story of a scheming widow who decides to make a match for herself after a wealthy single man (Walter Matthau) comes calling, looking for a wife. TCM Big Screen Classics celebrates the 50th Anniversary of “Hello, Dolly!” back on the big screen, on two different days: Sunday afternoon, Aug. 11, and Wednesday evening, Aug. 14, 2019.
