I watched Flying Down to Rio a jillion times when I first discovered it and loved The Carioca so much I learned the words and walked around singing it. Welcome to my life at age 11.

Finally the running joke with people hitting the Porsche pays off. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

I hope you’re appreciating Lionel Ritchie and his saxophone. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Ooo I just saw a special appearance by poppers. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

You know who’s winning the dance contest? ME! In my living room. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Jeff Goldblum is doing a great job playing Jeff Goldblum. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

I knew John Friedrich would end up with Debra Winger. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

LAST DANCE tricked so many middle schoolers into fast dancing when they thought it was a slow dance. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

NOW it’s a musical! #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Cranky husband just complained “I still don’t know how this is a musical.” I think Dave Karger just wanted to play it lol. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Is it getting hot in here? #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

“Babakazoo belongs to everybody!” Greatest line of dialog ever. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

My husband just complained “there’s more people in this?” I’m like WHO WILL WIN THE DANCE CONTEST? #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

This is definitely who my little baby crush would have been on. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Shirley you can do WAY better than this Incel. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

ALL RISE FOR THE GREAT DONNA SUMMER. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Oh my god, I hope this lovely 70s housewife ends up dumping her husband and bangs Jeff Goldblum. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Deborah Winger is actually really playing this well. She’s very believable in her bumpkin awkwardness. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

My husband just came in and asked “why is there a guy in a monkey suit?” I used one of my favorite Jeff Goldblum lines,”Just relax and let the art wash over you.”

#TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

What was the cocaine budget for this movie? #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Seriously. Unchanged. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

HAS THIS MOTHERFUCKER NEVER AGED? Of course Jeff Goldblum is the conceited asshat in a Porsche. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

Oh I was 1000 percent a 6th grade Frannie. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

A Dental Hygienist putting on a wig and hitting the nitrous to get ready is DISCO AF. #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

OH YEAH BABY! I set the alarm because I wasn’t missing this! #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty #THANKGODITSFRIDAY

OH MY GOD. I have to get up in time to watch #ThankGodItsFriday because I will always stop for a Disco Musical. Thanks @davekarger.bsky.social! #TCMMusicalMatinee #TCMParty

I'm guessing they're watching rushes since she's in costume(?) but I LOVE this photo of Ann Miller, stage producer Lemuel Ayers, singer George Byron, and (second row) producer Jack Cummings and Cole Porter, all trying out their 3D glasses.
