Prepare to be wowed with Monkey King
What do you get when you take an epic narrative about a monk’s quest to recover a sacred relic and add an original rock score and mesmerizing dance sequences, then throw in kung fu battles? The end result is this high-energy, action-filled musical, which delighted audiences during the Beijing 2008 Summer Games. With a huge cast of singers, dancers, acrobats, musicians and martial artists, the show is sure to entertain all ages. At The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts (Feb. 6 to 27).—Sheri Radford

Enjoy a little slice of Paris during Moulin Rouge - The Ballet

GOOD MUSIC
Vancouverite Matthew Good rocks two shows in November
Matthew Good, one of Canada’s favourite alternative rockers, has just released his latest solo album, Vancouver. This Burnaby-born musician, writer, blogger and activist is also a long-time Vancouver resident whose insightful lyrics let us see the city from his unique perspective. He is performing two shows at The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts (Nov. 9 and 10). And a Good concert is always a good concert.—Véronique Darwin
