Going on Now 

The Fully Monty 

Based on the 1997 movie, this play is the story of some ordinary guys from Buffalo, NY who are, for a lack of a better word, are ordinary, who end up becoming amateur strippers—winning the heart of a town.  Unlike the movie, this is a musical with numbers such as “Michael Jordan’s Balls” and “Big Ass Rock.”

Cirque du Soleil presents DELIRIUM, its first-ever live arena event. Created and directed by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon, DELIRIUM is a multifaceted event of unprecedented proportion featuring Cirque du Soleil music remixed. Driven by an urban tribal beat and spectacular awe-inspiring visuals, the musicians, singers and dancers transform the arena into joyous frenzy. Also for the first time, Cirque du Soleil musicians and singers will be center-stage as their music will be the driving force of this gigantic event. Variety Magazine describes it as a "bold new look" and says DELIRIUM, which debuted in Montreal last month, is "off to a winning start." DELIRIUM is the quest for balance in a world that is increasingly out of sync with reality. It pushes the limit of arena performance through technical magnitude, human introspection and creative prowess. This unique, large-scale event may be the most massive technical production ever created to tour arenas. A 130 foot two-sided stage bisects the arena, submerging the audience in the huge set. Placing all this equipment into an arena is a complex puzzle normally reserved for stadiums. 540 feet of projections dominate the scene – the equivalent in width of almost four IMAX screens – setting the stage for a colossal multimedia presentation. Images projected range from prerecorded visuals to manipulated live feeds that create interactions between the show and the audience. To heighten the musical experience, DELIRIUM is infused with acrobatic dances choreographed by Dave St-Pierre, as well as classic Cirque du Soleil feats including aerial, acrosport and hand balancing acts. DELIRIUM is a musical and visual feast that will satiate the senses!

Chill out after work with complimentary cocktails, culture and good company. Mix and mingle with the ArtCrowd, the Bass Museum’s Young Professionals Group, and take an exciting look inside the studio of Miami-based artist Sheila Elias.

OPERA AT STONEWALL

Sunday, April 30 at 1 pm

Think about it, Carmen had its first performance in 1875 and is now arguably the most performed opera in the world.  It is one of the few operas to win universal approval. The man in the street whistles and loves its melodies; the operagoer is thrilled by its swiftly moving scenes and tensely emotionally music; the opera star is enthusiastic over its possibilities for singing and acting; and the musician admires its well-conceived musicality. It is, in fact, "the perfect storm."

This event is free and open to the public.
