Do It Today: Godspell at Jaeb Theater, Prairie Home Companion redux and the Vienna Boys' Choir
Posted by Franki Weddington on Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 12:00 AM
is a psychedelic adventure with a Superman-shirt-wearing, clown-face painted Jesus and his disciples, set in 1960/70s NYC, complete with a stellar score and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (who's getting a lotta play at the Straz right now; his runaway success, Wicked, is on the mainstage). Visit tbpac.org for more info. (Pictured: The cast of Godspell. Photo courtesy Rob/Harris Productions) Feb. 9-May 16, 7:30 p.m. Tues.-Sun., 2 p.m. matinees Sat.-Sun.; Performances are at 4 p.m. only on March 7 and 28, Jaeb Theater, Straz Center for the Performing Arts, Tampa, $31.50.
Minne-soo-ta has few claims to fame: a weird accent, the pseudo-electronic pop of Owl City, Mall of America and Garrison Keillor’s The Prairie Home Companion are among the state’s points of pride. The public radio standard is one of the few good things that came out of the ‘70s (the rest is all packed away in Elton John’s storage unit) and this week, you can see it live onstage at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul without braving the frozen tundra that leads to Lake Wobegon. It’s being broadcast live in HD to theaters around the country, and you’re not just getting Keillor’s trademark insights, low-key humor and witty reflections – he’s also joined by the living, breathing music encyclopedia that is Elvis Costello. 8 p.m. Tues., Feb. 9 encore, Citrus Stadium Park Mall 20, 7999 Citrus Park Town Center Mall, Tampa, $18-$20, visit fathomevents.com for full list of participating theaters. – Franki Weddington
The "world's most famous boys' choir," the Vienna Boys Choir boasts a repertoire that spans the centuries from Gregorian chants to Mozart, Shubert, Strauss waltzes and polkas, and pop favorites. Visit rutheckerdhall.com for tickets and info. Tues., Feb. 9, 1 p.m., Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater, $17-$25.
