Chappell Roan's 'HOT TO GO!' music video features these Springfield locations

Ozarkian pop star Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, more popularly known by her stage name Chappell Roan, is taking the world by storm. The 26-year-old Willard native opened her "Midwest Princess" tour with a free, sold out concert at the Gillioz Theater back in September, and has been turning heads ever since. Headlining festivals, opening for Olivia Rodrigo, and even garnering praise from pop legend Elton John, Roan's moment has arrived.

Featuring local drag queens and extras, the music video for one of Roan's most popular tracks, "HOT TO GO!", takes viewers back to her old stomping grounds: Springfield, Missouri. From horse murals to frozen custard stops, here's where to visit a few of the filming locations for Chappell Roan's "HOT TO GO!" music video.

The Gillioz Theater in Downtown Springfield

Originally built in 1926 by regional bridge builder M.E. Gillioz on the then-newly announced Route 66, the Gillioz Theater first housed vaudeville and film presentations. As vaudeville faded, the theater leaned heavily on film presentations and eventually closed. The Gillioz was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It reemerged as an event venue after the Springfield community rallied to see it saved in 2006.

Programming at the Gillioz now includes a blend of film, concerts, comedy, theatre, and opera, with a 1,044-seat auditorium.

Fun Acre Miniature Golf Course

Just off the 2500 block of South Campbell Avenue, Fun Acre has been a Springfield mainstay since 1972. The 18-hole miniature golf course is open every day from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. in the summer (when school is out, according to the Fun Acre website).

Andy's Frozen Custard

Also a Springfield mainstay for decades, Andy's Frozen Custard has six locations across Springfield. Parts of Roan's "HOT TO GO!" music video were filmed at the Andy's on East Sunshine Street.

World's Largest Fork in Chesterfield Village

Behind an office building in Chesterfield Village, you'll find a polished stainless steel fork that is 35 feet tall and weighs in at 11 tons. The fork was originally designed in 1990 by Noble and Associates advertising agency for a restaurant on South Glenstone Avenue.

While still lovingly referred to as "the world's largest fork," there is some debate about which fork is actually the "largest." Springfield's fork was surpassed as the tallest fork by an Oregon sculpture in 2022, but remains the heaviest fork.

Wild Horses mural on South Campbell Avenue

The wild horses mural featured in Roan's "HOT TO GO!" music video is located on South Campbell Avenue on the back of the Alamo Drafthouse building. It was originally painted over three weeks in 2008 to bring life to the building after complaints that it looked like a prison.

According to previous News-Leader reporting, behind the movie theater is a sinkhole and a stream. The artist, Susan Sommer-Luarca, chose horses because it was once a watering hole for cattle and horses heading to and from Springfield when Campbell Avenue was just a dirt road.
