Tribeca | Opening night

The city's historic Ziegfeld Theater, site of Tribeca's opening night screening of "Baby Mama" and where the ghosts of Variety's vaudeville reports walk the aisles, looking for that juicy Eddie Cantor scoop.*
*But, as a commenter pointed out, this isn't the same Ziegfeld.

Tribeca's David Kwok and Julie La’Bassiere at the "Baby Mama" opening night party.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler at the "Baby Mama" preem party at MoMA. The party was decorated with lots of pink, teddy bears, little bright lights and SNL cast members past and present.
Sometimes those things mixed together in inappropriate ways.

Two things. Eddie Cantor's Ziegfeld was demolished in 1966. The current one, which is located nearby, was built in 1969. I don't know what the Variety ghosts did those three years. Second. Neither theater is anywhere close to Tribeca. Its like the Tijuana Film Fest having its opening night in San Diego. I guess the theaters in Tribeca were booked.
