“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat ”
The Hot Sardines in Concert
Thursday, April 7th, 7:30pm
Known as “New York’s hot-jazz darlings,” The Hot Sardines are indeed
one of the hottest acts currently touring the country. The Sardine sound
– wartime Paris via New Orleans, or the other way around – is steeped
in hot jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong,
Django Reinhardt and Fats
Waller used to make: straightup, foot-stomping jazz. Literally
– the band includes a tap
dancer whose feet count as two
members of the rhythm section!
They manage to invoke the
sounds of a near-century ago
and stay resolutely in step with
the current age. And while their
roots run deep into jazz, that most American of genres, they’re intertwined with French influences via their frontwoman, who was born and
raised in Paris, and writes songs in both languages. Tickets are $42-$47.
The Cowan Center is located at 3900 University Blvd. on the University
of Texas at Tyler campus. Tickets are available at the box office, by calling
(903)566-7424, or log on at www.uttyler.edu/cowan.
“4000 Miles”
Friday-Saturday, April 8th-9th (7:30pm), Sunday, April 10th (2:30pm)
“4000 Miles” is a dramatic comedy by Amy Herzog. When 21 year-old
Leo suffers a major loss while he was on a cross-country bike trip, he
seeks solace from his feisty 91 year-old grandmother, Vera, in her West
Village apartment. Over the course of a single month, these roommates
infuriate, bewilder, and ultimately reach each other. Herzog used her
grandmother’s “words, habits and history to fashion the character of Vera
Joseph.” Tickets are $18 for adults, and $15 for students. Tyler Civic
Theatre is located at 400 Rose Park Drive in Tyler, next to the Tyler Rose
Garden Center. For more info call (903)592-0561 or tylercivictheatre.
