COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE.

Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today... and always.

HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

Every Wednesday at 6pm, Lansing Live Open Stage invites you to showcase your musical talent! Whether you're experienced or just starting, the stage is open to all. Not a performer? Enjoy dinner, drinks, and live music from local artists. No cover charge and all ages are welcome.

Nicknamed “the Gypsy-jazz Warbler” by The New York Times and acclaimed as a “millennial shaking up the jazz scene” by Vanity Fair Magazine, Tatiana Eva-Marie is a transatlantic bandleader, singer, and actress based in Brooklyn.

Tatiana Eva-Marie’s singing is always inspired by her own French and Romani heritage: a love for the Parisian art scene era spanning the 1920s to the 60s, a passion for Gypsy music, and a deep connection to the Great American Songbook.

Through the lens of this musical kaleidoscope, she explores the music of Django Reinhardt, Sidney Bechet, Cole Porter, and other composers who were at the origins of French jazz, while adding her own original lyrics and arrangements to the mix.

“That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” has been at it for well over a half century, delivering rock, blues and boogie on the road and in the studio to millions of devoted fans. With iconography as distinctive as their sound, ZZ Top is virtually synonymous with beards, hotrod cars, spinning guitars and that magic keychain, all of which transcend geography and language.

They have sold hundreds of millions of records over the course of their career, have been officially designated as Heroes of the State of Texas, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (by Keith Richards, no less) and have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms. They are true rock icons and, against all odds, they’re really just doing what they’ve always done. ZZ Top abides!

Immerse yourself in an evening of passion and color with violinist Chee-Yun, as we traverse the rich landscapes of Spanish and Spanish-influenced music. The night opens with Ravel's "Alborada del Gracioso," capturing the lively spirit of Spain. Chee-Yun excels in Lalo’s "Symphonie Espagnole," merging violin finesse with Spain’s vibrant heart, hinting at the French Romantic's Spanish allure. Marc Migó’s "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa" adds contemporary, mystical flair, while de Falla’s "El Sombrero de Tres Picos, Suite No. 2" offers folkloric richness. The climax is Ravel’s "Boléro," a piece that encapsulates Spain's hypnotic charm, concluding an evening of vivid musical landscapes.
