Polyester presented with Odorama: John Waters’ Cult Classic Returns to Astor Theatre!

The Astor Theatre, in collaboration with Smell Art, is thrilled to present a special screening of John Waters’ iconic 80’s film, Polyester, featuring the revolutionary Odorama experience. Mark your calendars for Saturday 24th June, for an evening filled with irreverent humor, divine performances, and scents that are guaranteed to blow your nose!

SYNOPSIS

Polyester, boasting a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, stars the legendary drag queen Divine as Francine Fishpaw. Known for its proudly tacky charm, this cinematic gem represents Waters' first venture into the mainstream while retaining his subversive spirit. To enhance the viewing experience, Waters developed scratch-and-sniff Odorama cards, allowing audiences to smell along with Francine at key moments in the film. For this special screening, the scratch 'n' sniff cards have been painstakingly re-created by scent-designer Erin Adams from Smell Art. Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience Polyester as it was originally intended - in full Odorama.
