Lindsay Lohan, Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin will be on parade in downtown St. Paul Wednesday evening. Those are just three of the actors in "A Prairie Home Companion" who will ride to the movie's premiere at the Fitzgerald Theater in horse-drawn carriages.
In all, 10 carriages will carry cast and crew, including director Robert Altman (of "M*A*S*H" fame) and of course Garrison Keillor, who wrote and co-starred in the film, based on his radio show. Kevin Kline, Virginia Madsen and John C. Reilly also are expected to attend, along with "PHC" regulars Tim Russell and Sue Scott.
The carriages will leave from Rice Park at 6:10 p.m. The best star-gazing spots will be on Wabasha Street between 5th and Exchange Sts. The carriages are scheduled to reach the theater at 6:25, at which point the occupants will walk down a 100-foot-long red carpet to the private, invitation-only screening, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. A private party will follow at Landmark Center.
The movie, filmed primarily at the Fitzgerald (with a couple of additional scenes at Mickey's Diner), opens nationwide June 9.
