A fun and touching family film from Hollywood’s Golden Age, National Velvet is a classic, must-see coming-of-age story. In an inspiring story about dreams, determination and perseverance that still resonates today, Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor, who famously stayed at the Plaza Hotel occasionally, plays Velvet Brown, a young girl who dreams of racing her beloved horse in the Grand National steeplechase. Her passion for horses and vivacious personality convinces former jockey Mi Taylor (Mickey Rooney) to help her train for the competition with the endearing support of her family. This heartfelt film is a story about a girl who never gives up and a reminder that when we believe in ourselves, the impossible becomes possible. Seating is limited. Tickets available at plazaclassic.com/tickets. — Keri Moe
