| Norton Museum of Art: Tacita Dean Exhibition, 561-832-5196, www.norton.org
The exhibition of work by Tacita Dean will focus exclusively on her photo-based artworks produced over the past two decades. Born in Canterbury, England in 1965, and now based in Berlin, Dean initially studied to be painter. Now, the 16 mm film camera defines much of her artistic practice with the still camera image also playing an important role in her career. Spare, sublime, and separated from conventional photographic practice, Dean's photo-based works are nonetheless dependent upon the found and often authorless image. It is this two-fold impression of time and place embracing fact and fiction that pervades Dean's work in the Norton exhibition. With paint, drawings, or hand-written text added to these images, Dean distances herself from conventional photography while embracing the photographic image. The end result, like her films, is artwork that is as elusive as it is captivating.

This exhibition explores western expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries through examples of the collection of the William I. Koch. With economics and land lust as their driving force, settlers embarked on a journey across the nation. Beginning with the fur trade, the prospect of making money became appealing to most. Importantly, the defeat of the British led the settlers to believe that because they had become the victor that the Indian lands were theirs as wellthis notion alone created the complex conquest that followed. The railroad, the gold rush, the cattle drives, and government incentives such as land ordinances and eventually the Homestead Act, continued to encourage settling throughout the 19th century. The American Dream was advertised and everyone was invited to achieve Manifest Destiny.

It's a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter, all of which pushes her perilously close to the water's edge.

By: Cy Coleman Lyrics: David Zippel Book: Larry Gelbart. Winner of 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical, City of Angels is the rarest of musical comedies; one that is not only loaded with music and written in the contemporary jazz idiom, but also filled with sidesplitting comedy. It is two shows in one which brilliantly interweaves two plots. One is the story of Stine, a mild-mannered writer struggling to prevent his screenplay-in-progress from being mutilated by a tyrannical producer, Buddy Fiddler, while the other depicts the unfolding of the screenplay itself, in which Stine's alter ego, the detective Stone, sidles through a Hollywood netherworld of vicious thugs and femmes fatales.

7:30 p.m. Four Stradivaris, perfect musical instruments, find four musicians who bring out of them all the height and depth of human emotion that music can express. What unites them is their love of music; what drives them is their enthusiasm for using their musical talent to tell stories; technical perfection is a basic precondition which can be allowed to slip into the background. They breathe life into the completed work: the work of Stradivari and the works of the composers. This love is something that reaches to the heart that can be felt by anyone who is able and willing to listen. Tuesday. | |

| Kravis Center for the Performing Arts: La Cage Aux Folles, 561-832-7469, www.kravis.org
Winner of three Tony Awards® including the award for Best Musical Revival, this hilarious new production of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES was the biggest hit of the 2010 Broadway season, leaving audiences in stitches night after night. With book by Harvey Fierstein and songs by Jerry Herman, LA CAGE tells the story of Georges (George Hamilton) the owner of a glitzy nightclub in lovely Saint-Tropez, and his partner Albin (Christopher Sieber), who moonlights as the glamorous chanteuse Zaza. When Georges' son brings his fiancée's conservative parents home to meet the flashy pair, the bonds of family are put to the test as the feather boas fly! LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is a tuneful and touching tale of one family's struggle to stay together... stay fabulous... and above all else, stay true to themselves! With a glorious score of hummable melodies and a dynamite cast featuring the "notorious and dangerous Cagelles," LA CAGE is an indisputable musical comedy classic.

| Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center: The Bronx Wanderers , 561-993-1160, www.palmbeachstate.edu
Back by popular demand! Starting out in the Bronx as a family tribute band, The Bronx Wanderers exploded onto the scene in 2008, amassing a loyal following that included celebrities such as Chazz Palminteri, Danny Aiello and Dion DiMucci. On an avenue in the Bronx back in the '50s and early '60s, one could hear the liberating sound of doo-wop and rock and roll. The music had heart, soul, purity, and a sound that made you want to dance, harmonies that made you feel good, and lyrics that once in a while even made you cry. Watch them sing songs by Dion, The Jersey Boys (The Four Seasons) and more at http://www.thebronxwanderers.com/. | |

 | Jazz Arts Music Society of Palm Beach: Jackie Ryan - Jam's Anniversary, 877-877-7677, www.jamsociety.org
Read what the critics say about Jackie Ryan and the anticipation of seeing her and hearing her sing just might make your pulse quicken. Much of the praise came after the release of her 2007 CD, You and the Night and the Music, featuring tenor saxophonist Red Holloway, Tamir Hendelman on piano and Jeff Hamilton on drums. JazzTimes was ecstatic saying the album "confirms Ryan's status as one of the outstanding jazz vocalists of her generation and, quite possibly, of all time. She is the thoroughbred vocal equivalent of the Triple Crown, rivaling the dexterous sass of Sarah Vaughan, the instinctive smarts of Carmen McRae and the scintillating verve of Diana Krall." Ryan is extraordinarily popular wherever she performs, including eight years at London's famed Ronnie Scott's Club, and selling out Dizzy's Club at New York's Lincoln Center, the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles, and Yoshi's in San Francisco. | |
