Citizen Cope Solo Acoustic Performance
Hogg Memorial Auditorium
Friday, October 10th at 8:00 PM |
|
Mark your calendars for this intimate solo acoustic performance from one of music’s most poetic souls! On October 10, Citizen Cope brings his unique mix of ‘70’s soul, folk, hip-hop and funk to Austin for one night only at the UT PAC's Hogg Memorial Auditorium.Clarence Greenwood, a.k.a. Citizen Cope, takes snapshots of the world around him, turns them into universal truths and sets them to the simplest of melodies and soul-stirring grooves. Cope’s poignant tunes have been used in movie soundtracks and television commercials, and the song, “Sideways” was produced and sung by Cope on Carlos Santana’s multi-million selling album, “Shaman.” Citizen Cope digs into his three-album catalogue for this intimate solo acoustic performance. Presented by C3 and UT Performing Arts Center Tickets: www.utpac.org or 512-477-6060 or 800-982-BEVO and all Texas Box Office outlets.

Legally Blonde
Bass Concert Hall
February 3 – 8, 2009 |

It's here, and it's "AN ELLE OF A SHOW" (TIME Magazine). The hilarious MGM film is Broadway's new smash hit musical, and now LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is coming to you. Legally Blonde follows sorority star Elle Woods, an underestimated blonde who doesn't take "no" for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. After turning Broadway and MTV hot pink, this “Feel-Good Song and Dance Juggernaut” (New York Magazine) is “The Best New Musical Around!” (WOR) |

Fifty brides flee their fifty grooms and seek refuge in a villa on the coast of Italy in this modern re-making of one of the western world's oldest plays, The Danaids by Aeschylus. And, in this villa on the Italian coast, the fifty grooms catch up with the brides, and mayhem ensues: the grooms arriving by helicopter in their flight suits, women throwing themselves over and over again to the ground, pop songs and romantic dances, and, finally, unable to escape their forced marriages, 49 of the brides murder 49 of the grooms—and one bride falls in love. About the same odds as today. |

Trouble in Tahiti and The Impresario
McCullough Theatre
February 22, 24, 29 and March 2
|
|
The Butler Opera Center presents two one act operas: Leonard Cohen's "Trouble in Tahiti" and W.A. Mozart's "The Impresario." "Trouble in Tahiti" is set in the affluence of a nameless American suburb (the characters at one point name a handful of fairly toney suburbs that it could have been set in), the story shows the disenchantment of Dinah with her philandering husband Sam, who is more interested in his career than in his family. They effect a reconcilement of sorts at the end of the opera, although it is doubtful that it will last. "The Impresario" mainly concerns the woes of an impresario as he deals with a troupe of performers, especially the feisty prima donnas. |

“The Shadow Box” interweaves the lives of three dramatically different terminally ill hospice patients and their loved ones to give a dynamic, well–rounded perspective of death and dying. They struggle to find meaning in their last moments on Earth, to leave legacies, to reassure themselves their lives were actually worth living. The play shows that even though death is a personal struggle, all human beings are bound together by the same fear of death. It's how each character deals with that fear that separates them. |

Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought provoking and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.
