Films, Television & Music Videos Made On Long Island: Music & Lyrics

Music and Lyrics, starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, is primarily set in New York City but also features a touch of Long Island charm.

The film includes memorable scenes shot at Adventureland Amusement Park in Farmingdale. The park is where Hugh Grant's character, former pop star Alex Fletcher, performs as part of his efforts to revive his career -- an authentic slice of local flavor, as director Marc Lawrence himself reportedly worked at Adventureland in his youth.

Additionally, the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale doubles as Madison Square Garden during Cora Corman’s concert, further weaving Long Island into the fabric of the story.

A Paltrocast interview with Fountains Of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, who wrote some of the music for the film, can be heard here.
