On Stage Tonight - "Movin' Out," a Benefit Concert and "Rhythm in Red"

Wow, there are lots of entertainment opportunities out there tonight! (Why must it always be feast or famine?) So let's run down the selections on the menu, courtesy of today's edition of the Herald-Dispatch:

- There are still tickets available for the touring Broadway performance of Movin' Out at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center tonight at 8:00pm. The show includes some amazing dancing based around the music of Billy Joel - what's not to like? And tickets are still available - read more about it right here. (By the way, as a special treat I'm bringing in a special guest reviewer to recap the show for us - more on that tomorrow.)

- In Charleston, Broadway star (and Huntington native) Mark McVey (pictured here) and acclaimed fiddler Eileen Ivers are just two of the celebrated artists who will take the stage at 8:00pm as part of a special concert by the West Virginia Symphony and the West Virginia Symphony Chorus. Also performing in the show is Ryan Hardiman, who will join singers Jonathan Cavendish and Mariel van Dalsum-Boggs in singing songs from the musical Lincoln. The benefit concert will also include bluegrass masters Johnny Staats and Robert Shafer, as well as Larry Groce, Bob Thompson and Ron Sowell all from Mountain Stage. Tickets start at $9, $15 for orchestra seats. Call 304-561-3570 or order online at www.wvsymphony.org.

- And you can catch the annual dinner and show for the Cabell Midland High School Show Choir "Rhythm in Red" tonight at 6:00pm at the school. For more information about the Winter Wonderland Dinner, call Lisa Fryer at 304-638-5736. You can also see photos of last night's performance at the Herald-Dispatch Photo Gallery right here.
