One of the things I love about Atlanta is the variety of available cultural events. This week Blue Man Group plays the Fox Theatre Tuesday-Sunday, April 7-12, as part of the Broadway in Atlanta series and the Libera Boys Choir finishes their mini-U.S. tour at the Woodruff Center Symphony Hall Friday night, April 10.
Blue Man Group
We saw Blue Man Group on opening night. I didn’t realize my husband had always wanted to see them! Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. What we got was a quirky, high-energy performance with a lot of performer-audience interaction.
My husband and I enjoyed going together, but this show would make a perfect date night for a parent and child. Tuesday night’s performance was actually a special Family 2 Family Kids Night on Broadway.
Tickets for Blue Man Group are available at by visiting foxtheatre.org/blueman, calling 1-855-285-8499 or visiting the Fox Theatre Box Office (660 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308).
Libera
I would love to take my little girls to the Libera concert Friday night. I think they would enjoy seeing children their own age perform. Such angelic voices!
Libera is a vocal band comprised of uniquely talented young men, ages 7 to 16, who live in London but have topped both mainstream and classical charts across the globe with recordings from their live concerts in massive venues including the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., New York’s Yankee Stadium (at Pope Benedict XVI’s request), D.C.’s Kennedy Center and LA’s Crystal Cathedral. Their music features both sacred and secular selections including Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee (based on Beethoven’s 9th Symphony), Sanctus (from Johann Pachelbel’s famous Canon), Amazing Grace and Schubert’s soaring Ave Maria.
Libera’s concert at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Immaculate Conception was recorded for their latest CD and a PBS special that aired last month and is now available on DVD.
