Police say the maroon SUV, which had been reported as stolen, was stopped by an officer about 9:45 p.m., but took off southbound on Kessler. It crashed while trying to pass another vehicle. Neighbors said the SUV flipped over at least six times before it stopped in the front yard of a residence. The two men died at the scene.

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre

If you haven’t seen the movie “Singin’ in the Rain” then, well, you really should see the movie “Singin’ in the Rain.” Because movies don’t get much better than that.

And if you do love the movie “Singin’ in the Rain,” it’s best to go into this stage production expecting some of the music and comedy pleasures of the original but willing to accept the variations offered by a cast—including Jeff Stockberger and Sarah Hund—short on Hollywood stars but nonetheless big on talent.

Verizon Wireless Music Center

For those hoping for the hits, be advised that recent Elton John live shows have included “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “Rocket Man,” “Levon,” “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues,” “Crocodile Rock,” “Your Song” and much more.

While other acts hit the road with barely a single disc of tunes under their belts, John has more than 50 charting singles to choose from for his set. And that’s not including non-hits he’s recorded … or songs he has yet to record.

That’s a lot of songs. Seriously. Details here.

Victory Field

Yes, it’s a great ballpark. But Victory Field isn’t really known as an arts venue. And that’s a big part of the pleasure of this event, organized by the Indianapolis International Film Festival as part of its Roving Cinema series.

With the now-classic film playing on the scoreboard/screen and beer and peanuts for sale, this should be a sports/movie-lovers dream come true. Details here.
