Two semi drivers were taken to the hospital after they collided in the westbound lanes of Interstate 70 in downtown Indianapolis Wednesday morning.

Cabaret at the Columbia Club

It’s ladies night at the Cabaret. That’s not to say men won’t be allowed to attend. It’s just that the on-stage talent is all women, including headliner Jackie Allen, a Blue Note recording artist who combines folk, pop and jazz instincts. She’ll be supported by an all-female band led by Monika Herzig. In support will be vocalists Shannon Forsell and Heather Ramsey. Details here.

Phoenix Theatre

A young man struggles to make sense of post-college life where the answers aren’t clear. Sound like a conventional stage show from the ’40s or ’50s? Not when there are puppets involved who include the Internet-porn-addicted Trekkie Monster, the sexually aggressive Lucy, and the closeted Republican Rod.

The show, which proved the upset winner over “Wicked” at the Tony Awards, features a remarkably tuneful score, very funny lyrics, and a cast of human and puppet characters that you actually care about.

If you’ve seen “Avenue Q” in Indy already, you were probably somewhere in cavernous Clowes Hall, where the touring production played. Now you can get up close in the intimate Phoenix Theatre, where the show is having its regional theater debut (thanks in part to the scheduling ability of the Phoenix). Details here.

Conseco Fieldhouse

When I first wrote about “Glee” in IBJ, it was a fledgling Fox show with some local connections. Now, just a few years later, it’s a cultural phenomenon that has loosed a parade of hit albums, earned a stack of Emmy awards and nominations, turned Broadway talents Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison into stars, and made it safe for teens to sing songs from “Funny Girl,” “Sunset Boulevard” and “Yentl.”

Of course, when the live concert version of the show takes over at Conseco Fieldhouse, you can expect those same teens to be singing along, loudly, during the show. So it may prove difficult to hear Amber Riley, Heather Morris, Naya Rivera et al. Best to go with the flow on this one—and give up your resistance to “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Oh, and don’t look for Matthew Morrison this time around … but he’ll be here as a bonus act during the New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys show in July.
