‘That Thing You Do’ cast plans reunion fundraiser for coronavirus relief [USAToday]
The Wonders, the fictional group at the center of the 1996 movie “That Thing You Do,” will reunite on Friday for a community watch party of the film to benefit the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund….
Funds raised through the watch party will aid musicians and touring professionals who are out of work because of the coronavirus.
The watch party also will pay tribute to Adam Schlesinger, The Fountains of Wayne musician who died recently of complications of COVID-19. Schlesinger wrote and composed “That Thing You Do,” the song that launched the fictional band ― initially and confusingly called the One-ders ― to brief stardom in the film, set in 1964.
I love this movie. I need to see it again.
