With the month swiftly coming to a close, midterms ending and Easter break listlessly creeping upon us, let off some well-deserved steam as you indulge in the most exciting events happening throughout New York City!
Do you know what Lauryn Hill, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Jimi Hendrix have in common? ALL four iconic music powerhouses have graced the notorious Apollo Theater with their beguiling presence! Apollo’s Amateur Night continues to serve as a platform for performers to illustrate their talent (or lack thereof) as audience members are given the opportunity to firmly flex their judging muscles! Take a break and join the Apollo Theater on Wednesday for a memorable night. The theater is located 253 W 125th St and tickets can be brought on Ticketmaster. Ticket prices range from $20 to $32 with an additional $5 off in advance until the day before the show! http://www.ticketmaster.com/Amateur-Night-At-The-Apollo-tickets/artist/839690
From Sunday to Thursday night, you can ease your longing for childhood as you enjoy the latest Wizard of Oz rendition, Oz the Great and Powerful in 3D! Just a train ride away, you can get a subtle blast from the past at Brooklyn’s Academy of Music (BAM) Theater. Trailers for the new film illustrate an action-packed remake that’ll surely leave watchers regenerating famous lines like “there’s no place like home”! General admission is $16, but lucky for you, prices for students is $12 with valid ID. Show times for Sunday include: 1pm, 3:40pm, 6:30pm and 9:20pm. Show times for Monday through Thursday include: 4pm, 6:30pm and 9:20pm. BAM is located 30 Lafayette Ave. For more information, visit the website. http://www.bam.org/#Calendar
Last, but certainly not least, you can end your week with the annual hafla (Arabic for “party”) and dance celebration at BAMcafé Live! Friday at 10pm, you can witness the extraordinary movements of the most illustrious practitioners of raqs sharqi (belly dance) in New York City. The bewitching rhythms of North African and Middle Eastern melodies will fill the air as special guest Carmine & Friends and Pure Onyx Movement get the crowd moving. As always, BAMcafé Live events are abstract, one-of-a-kind and truly unforgettable!
