L.A. Dance Project makes its Dallas debut
If your last name is “millipede,” you’re gonna be interested in feet … even if you spell it differently, as choreographer Benjamin Millepied does. His brainchild, the L.A. Dance Project, has built up a sterling reputation in just five years for high-energy modern dance that is exciting, new and very accessible. TITAS presents the Dallas debut of this hot company for two nights.

Sara Bareilles’ hit musical ‘Waitress’ comes to Fair Park
When it comes to bad timing, opening the same season as Hamilton ranks up there with Farrah Fawcett dying hours before Michael Jackson. But while it didn’t walk away with any Tony Awards in 2016, Waitress continues to pack in audiences on B’way… and, finally, in Dallas. The national tour of the charming musical based on the cult film features a score by pop goddess Sara Bareilles. It’s presented by Dallas Summer Musicals.

Jubilee stomps it up to ‘Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues’
Perhaps even more than jazz, the blues is a quintessential American musical form, though its roots go back to African chant, and branch off into Delta spirituals, Chicago nightclubs and Harlem honkytonks. It’s a rich cultural resource, to be sure, and grows even with electronic-funk, neo-soul and more. The jukebox musical It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues packs all those styles plus into its whirlwind historical history of foot-stompin’ and roof-raisin’ music. Presented by Fort Worth’s Jubilee Theatre.
DEETS: Jubilee Theatre,
506 Main St., Fort Worth.
