Up next from Escapes: POWER BALLAD 🎸

When Rick (Paul Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Nick Jonas) during a gig, the two bond over music and a late-night jam session. But when Danny turns one of Rick's songs into the hit that reignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves - even if it means risking everything he cares about.

With performances from Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, POWER BALLAD is a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition.

Be amongst the first to see it on 26-27 May for FREE before its official release on 29 May! All screenings will have descriptive subtitles.
