WRIGLEYVILLE — The Chicago Cubs will premiere a film with a behind-the-scenes look at the team's historic World Series win with a special screening Downtown.

"The 2016 World Series," produced by the Major League Baseball Network, will screen at the Civic Opera House, 20 N. Wacker Drive, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, with the red carpet rolling out at 6:30 p.m.

Narrated by Chicago's own Vince Vaughn, the film features postseason highlights and snippets from behind the scenes of the Cubs 2016 season.

The premiere is invitation-only, and tickets cost $25. Invites were extended to Wrigley Field neighbors who subscribe to the Cubs' neighborhood emails on Thursday.

For those who can't attend, the film is already available on commemorative Blu-ray and DVD, and is already listed as a top seller on the MLB online shop.

The Cubs and Wrigley Field are 95 percent owned by an entity controlled by a trust established for the benefit of the family of Joe Ricketts, owner and CEO of DNAinfo.com. Joe Ricketts has no direct involvement in the management of the iconic team.
