Chuck’s Choices for the weekend of April 6th:



Cavalia continues under the Really Big Top on Cerre Street at the I-64 Broadway exit. It’s the Rolls Royce of equestrian shows—a flashy, elegant evening featuring 48 horses, a raft of acrobats and aerialists, and some impressive multi-media effects. The show is not without its longueurs but even so, anyone who loves horses won't want to miss it. See my review at the KDHX web site.  Visit www.cavalia.net or call 1-866-999-8111

Bring it On: the Musical

In her review of the cheerleading musical Bring It On, KDHX theatre critic Andrea Braun says: “It is flat-out amazing. The laws of physics do not apply to these people. The dancing chorus is filled with championship-winning cheerleaders, and it shows.” Visit fabulousfox.com for more information.

Guitarist Mike Krysl and singer Shauna Sconce bring their delightful mix of Great American Songbook standards and pop songs to The Wine Press on Saturday from 8 to 11 PM. Visit stlwinepress.com. Their arrangement of music from Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is not to be missed.

Also on Saturday, The Randy Dandies, St. Louis' Premiere Sketch Comedy Burlesque Troupe, kick off their third season with Scientific Affairs: Burlesqueology 101 at 9:30 PM. Featured artists include Mimi Le Yu, Annie Cherry and Artemus Vulgaris from Kansas City, and Midwest pole performer champion Sara Bella. The performance takes place at Plush, 3224 Locust.
