A fake pipe bomb caused major delays Tuesday for dozens of people who use an IndyGo Park and Ride lot in Fishers. A commuter was about to go home for the day at about 5 p.m. when he found the device in the front seat of his car, parked in the lot near 106th Street and Lantern Road. A note with the words “last chance” was attached to the device. The Fishers Police Department, Indiana State Police and the Bureau of Alcohol Firearms and Tobacco secured the area and diverted traffic for almost four hours before determining the realistic-looking device was a hoax. Forty to 50 cars were parked in the lot at the time.

Hilbert Circle Theatre
Considering that Andrea Marcovicci is best known for her acclaimed work on cabaret stages, it’s remarkable to see the extent of her non-musical acting resume. She performed on stage with John Gielgud, played Ophelia to Sam Waterston’s Hamlet, and has appeared in everything from Chekhov to “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” Those dramatic chops go a long way toward making her the songstress that she is. At the Cabaret, those talents will service songs from motion pictures, including “As Time Goes By,” “Days of Wine and Roses” and more. Details here.
This week also brings a new generation of stage star: Idina Menzel, who conquered Broadway in “Rent” (she was the original Maureen, of “Tango Maureen” fame) and the lead green role in “Wicked.” But you can expect to see a new tribe of young fans familiar with her, thanks to her role as the coach of Vocal Adrenaline on TV’s “Glee.” While we can expect to hear songs from all of the above, I’m hoping she throws in something from her off-Broadway “The Wild Party.” She’s also been known to mix in songs at these gigs ranging from “Look to the Rainbow” to Sting’s “Roxanne.” Details here.

IU Musical Arts Center
The last time Tomer Zvulun stage-directed a new production of an opera at Indiana University was 2009’s storybook-designed “The Magic Flute,” which went on to a professional production by Atlanta Opera, and will soon be seen staged in Cincinnati and Austin, Texas.
For his latest production, Zvulun and the IU Opera design team are exploring the nostalgia and quest for youth in his reimagining of Charles Gounod’s “Faust.” The familiar tale of a deal with the devil is getting a bit of a twist as the hero not only becomes young again, but is taken back from 2010 to the 1930s.
