A Milestone Reunion
They didn’t forget about us either, Chicago. For the first time ever, the five core cast members of the popular 1985 John Hughes movie “The Breakfast Club” are set to reunite in Chicago in April.
A Rare Opportunity
Ally Sheedy, Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estévez, Judd Nelson, and Molly Ringwald are all listed on the guests page of C2E2, Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, taking place April 11-13 at McCormick Place. “First time for everything,” Estévez wrote on Instagram this week. “A reunion 40 years in the making. See you soon, Chicago.”
A Convention Exclusive
C2E2 says this will be “the first and only time ever” the full main cast will reunite in Chicago. “Welcome to C2E2, Emilio Estévez!” the convention wrote on Instagram. “For the first and only time ever, the full main cast of The Breakfast Club is reuniting in Chicago this April to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the film. Emilio (all days) joins Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy (Sat-Sun), Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson (now all days!). Don’t miss this exciting and rare opportunity.”
A Nostalgic Return to Chicago
“The Breakfast Club” celebrated its 40th anniversary this year, in February. The film’s iconic scenes were shot in the Chicago suburb of Des Plaines at the former Maine North High School, which also made a cameo in Hughes’ “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” And what better place than Chicago? “A brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a recluse,” C2E2 wrote on Instagram. “Before the day was over, they broke the rules. Meet the full cast for exclusive Autographs and Photo Ops, backdropped with the iconic red lockers, on sale now.”
Autograph and Photo Op Schedules
C2E2’s website shows a schedule of autographing sessions for Sheedy, Hall, Nelson, and Ringwald, with autographs ranging from $60-$70 and photo ops from $80-$90. A similar schedule for Estévez isn’t listed, but his inclusion on the guests page notes he’ll be there all three days in the “autographing area.”
A Sneak Peek at the Schedules
