SUMMARY:Radio Soul! The Early Songs of Elvis Costello
DESCRIPTION:Elvis Costello has announced 2025 tour dates for “Radio Soul!: The Early Songs of Elvis Costello.” As the playful billing suggests\, the show will feature numbers drawn from record releases from “My Aim Is True” in 1977 to “Blood & Chocolate” in 1986\, along with other surprises. \n\n\n\nThose nine years saw the first appearance of some of Elvis Costello’s most renowned compositions from “Watching The Detectives” to “I Want You”\, along with songs that have remained in The Imposters’ live repertoire over the last 20 or more years\, including “Alison\,” “Man Out Of Time” and “Brilliant Mistake.” \n\n\n\nAsked about the surprising theme of this tour\, Costello responded: \n\n\n\n“For any songwriter\, it has to be a compliment if people want to hear songs written up to fifty years ago. Among them\, “Radio Soul\,” the first draft of what eventually became “Radio Radio.” \n\n\n\nRegarding the decision to sharpen the focus on a specific period of time\, Costello reminded us: \n\n\n\n“You can expect the unexpected and the faithful in equal measure. Don’t forget this show is “Performed by Elvis Costello & The Imposters”\, an ensemble which includes three people who first recorded this music and two more who bring something entirely new. They are nobody’s tribute band. The Imposters are a living\, breathing\, swooning\, swinging\, kicking and screaming rock and roll band who can turn their hands to a pretty ballad when the opportunity arises.” \n\n\n\nThe Imposters are Steve Nieve\, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher and they are joined once again by guitarist\, Charlie Sexton. \n\n\n\nCostello concluded: \n\n\n\n“If there is an encore and we play\, “Farewell\, OK”\, it probably means some of those “Early Songs” will have been performed in your city for the very last time. I don’t want to go back\, I want to bring these songs into the present day\, once more\, in the event they are ever pushed out of the way by the next number that I write. You could say time is running out but only time will tell. Don’t be late\, the band hits at eight.”

SUMMARY:The Vampire Circus
DESCRIPTION:The Vampire Circus has been called a mix of circus cabaret and theater and is the result of a fusion of Tim Burton and Cirque Du Soleil. Enjoy a phenomenalnight of live entertainment\, based on the multidisciplinary skills of Internationalperformers showcasing theater\, dance\, and gymnastics. This amazing show pushes the physical boundaries of human performance and leaves audiences amazed\, astounded\, and astonished. \n\n\n\nMortal spectators will experience horrific feats of Cirque acrobatics\, comical audience interactions\, contortionists\, jugglers\, acrobats\, and clowns. Tantalizing sounds\, and mesmerizing illusions catapult audiences into an emotional roller-coaster of fear and joy\, laugher\, and wonder with raving cheers for a “Mad Graveyard Clown.” \n\n\n\nThe 90-minute production is an immersive ride through the Underworld and Vampires. The Vampire Circus was inspired by the magical\, captivating allure of legendary traveling carnivals — and a vision of Francisco Santos\, CEO founder and Cirque Du Soleil veteran performer. \n\n\n\nSet in Bohemia during the 19 century\, Count Dracula contemplates a plan for world domination\, when he decides to open a traveling circus with his gypsy bodyguards. The Vampire Circus is a perfect cover-up to travel unnoticed and begin his world reign of terror and turn all humans into an army of vampires for global dominance. \n\n\n\nThe Vampire Circus is a journey that takes audiences into an immersive experience\, plunging guests into a deep hypnotic state while “breaking the fourth wall.” With Vampire Circus\, audiences are fully integrated into what is happening in front of them\, surrounding them\, and at times “inside” of them. \n\n\n\nThe Vampire Circus will delight the senses and deliver the unexpected. As the moon comes out the magical mystique of the Vampire World begins. \n\n\n\nCome meet the Vampires. We will leave the lights off for you!
