BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL MAY 31 - JUNE 5, 2016 Sarofim Hall in the Hobby Center Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll. But it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice. Beautiful: The Carole King Musical tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation!

WICKED JULY 6 – AUG 14 2016 Sarofim Hall in the Hobby Center WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a dierent angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin— smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent.

When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” Time Magazine cheers, “if every musical had the brain, the heart, and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place. ”From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story.

It will send your spirits soaring to heights you’ll never forget.

So much happened before Dorothy dropped in!

ARCHWAY GALLERY presents ALLA PRIMA AND SPREZZATURA: New Work by Barbara Able June 4 – July 6, 2016 2305 Dunlavy St. Houston, TX 77006 The artist will be

available to visit with guests during the opening reception on Saturday, June 4, 2016, from 5 – 8 p.m. with an artist’s talk at 6:30 p.m.

Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service,

Able paints dramatic scenes of large mountains. She employs the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique to build up her surfaces, using a series of transparent layers and thrown paint.

This requires a loose way of working, which gives her paintings a sense of spontaneity and freshness. Able embraces the unpredictable results that cause her oils and watercolors to “bloom” in unpredictable ways.

Years of studying classical life drawing and landscape painting have provided Able with the foundation to create large, expressive landscape paintings.

RICHMOND ARMS PUB

HARD ROCK CAFE

The Gorgeous Gael represents everything that is truly great about modern Irish entertainment culture – premium customer service, exceptionally creative, top quality food, adventurous, sophisticated drinks and the best musical entertainment in the world. One thing that has not changed is the Irish spirit of hospitality, and the friendship and camaraderie that is unique to the Irish pub environment.

Expect exceptional food, exquisite cocktails, a strong Whiskey oering and a fantastic array of domestic and crafted beers.

Richmond Arms is a lively, oldfashioned pub, complete with seasonal brews, too many beers on tap to count and a bevy of Celtic accents ringing throughout the establishment. Even during the week, an evening here feels like an Irish beer advertisement, “Lots of British nationals” feel at home in this “authentic” Briargrove area pub that some claim is the closest thing to England “this side of the big pond”; “wood beams and red accents” and a “friendly sta” greet “serious game fans”, who come for the “great beer selection” and pub grub, plus darts and regular trivia nights.
