Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre is the place to be this week as it transforms into the Red Rock Diner for eight shows.
But because of the musical’s popularity, tickets are now limited to Halloween night at 4 and 8 p.m. The Arts Club Theatre on Tour production pays tribute to retired Vancouver DJ Red Robinson and his golden year of 1957 when tunes like Great Balls of Fire and Jailhouse Rock lit up the CKWX airwaves.
To reserve seats for one of the two Oct. 31 performances, call the Evergreen box office at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.
CALENDAR GIRLS
Port Coquitlam actor Mary Ellen Shimell is in a new “racy” play that opened last week at Surrey Little Theatre.
Shimell portrays Celia in Calendar Girls, a production based on a true story about 11 members of the Knapeley Women’s Institute who pose nude for a calendar to raise money for leukaemia research.
Directed by Simon Challenger of Maple Ridge, Calendar Girls runs until Nov. 21 at the theatre (7027 184th St., Surrey).
For tickets at $15, call 604-576-8451 or visit brownpapertickets.com.
THE MET LIVE
Spend Halloween morning watching a “live” production of The Met’s Tannhauser from the comfort of a Coquitlam movie house.
The Wagner opera — starring tenor Johan Botha (Tannhauser), soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek (Elisabeth) and mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung (Venus) — will be screened Saturday at 9 a.m. at SilverCity as part of The Met: Live in HD series.
SULTRY EVE
If trick-or-treating isn’t in your plans Saturday night then join Jamie and Anthony of the jazz band Clavinova Nights for dinner and dancing at Rodos Mediterranean Grille (221 Ioco Rd., PoMo) at 7:30 p.m.
The ensemble, which took first prize at the 2015 Tri-Cities Got Talent show during Golden Spike Days, will be making its restaurant debut and promises everything from the jazz greats like Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles to today’s stars like Michael Bublé.
