Murat Theatre
You don’t have to wait for this year’s Art vs. Art event to have an on-stage disc randomly determine the outcome of a live event. (Don’t know about Art vs. Art? Stay tuned.) This week, Elvis Costello will bring his Spectacular Spinning Songbook to the Murat, featuring classic songs, covers and lesser-known songs selected randomly by a turn of the wheel. Yes, longtime fans, “Alison” and “Pump It Up” are in the mix. Details here.
Sept. 23-25
Clowes Hall
With all the Indianapolis Opera activity at the Basile Opera Center, let us not forget that the bread and butter for IO is still big productions of familiar operas. In this case, Jee Hyun Lim, who led New York City Opera’s “Butterfly” tour in Japan, Dublin and more, plays the title role opposite Garrett Sorenson, direct from the recent Broadway revival of “Master Class.” It’s Sorenson’s first time with IO and his first time playing Pinkerton, which should add a newcomer meets vet element to the inherent East meets West opera. Details here.
Sept. 22-Oct. 23
Phoenix Theatre
This week, the Phoenix Theatre does what the Broadway in Indianapolis series didn’t do: Bring Duncan Shiek’s Tony-award-winning musical to the Indianapolis stage. (The tour, in its later, non-Equity state, made it only to a one-nighter in Bloomington.) It’s about a bunch of teens wrestling with just about every teen problem, which makes it like many Phoenix shows—only this one is set in late-19th-century Germany and features an intense, rocking score with parental-warning lyrics. Yes, like the Broadway production, there is additional up-close-and-personal seating on stage. But to be part of that crowd, you have to wear black. Details here.
