Tessa Thompson is waiting before a Nancy Wilson concert for a friend who doesn't show in Eugene Ashe's "Sylvie's Love" (Amazon, 2020). The film is set in New York in the late 50s and early 60s but for those who know L.A.'s Orpheum, the first glimpse of the brass doors lets you know where we are. The theatre, at 842 S. Broadway, is standing in for Town Hall.
The show's about to begin.
Former boyfriend Nnamdi Asomugha wanders along by chance. They haven't seen each other for five years. She asks if he'd like to join her.
In one of the boxes.
A closer look at the couple during the show.
Getting Tessa a cab after the performance. Yes, the story has many chapters yet to go. The film also stars Eva Longoria, Aja Naomi King, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Lance Reddick. Declan Quinn was the cinematographer.
See the pages about the Orpheum Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about this 1926 vintage vaudeville house.
