About the event
From being picked on by the popular kids to living and partying together in New York City, fashion queens Romy and Michele have been inseparable since puberty. When they’re suddenly invited to their high school’s 10-year reunion, they realise they haven’t quite achieved everything they set out to - so they decide to concoct an elaborate lie in order to impress their former classmates.
Starring Lisa Kudrow, Mira Sorvino and Alan Cumming, and directed by The Simpsons’ David Mirkin, Romy and Michele is brimming with camp camaraderie, a banging noughties soundtrack and arguably one of the most iconic dance numbers in cinema!
It wouldn’t be the opening night of NXDFFF without a bit of extra sparkle – so come ready to take your high school reunion pics amidst prom-worthy décor by wearing your best noughties glam, and dance the night away after the film with a special guest DJ. NXDFFF 2026 starts here!
