TCC gets into the spirit with Shimmer and Shine

One of the enduring traditions in Dallas for decades now is the annual holiday concert from the Turtle Creek Chorale, which also mixes the sacred with the  profane (or at least the campy and comic).  This year’s concert, Shimmer and Shine, will feature popular favorites, moving hymns and of course a lot of fun.

DEETS:  Moody Performance Hall, 2520 Flora St. TurtleCreekChorale.com

‘Chicago’ feels more relevant now than ever

He had it comin’! Razzle dazzle! All that jazz! A minor hit in 1975 when it debuted (A Chorus Line eclipsed it the same season), the stage version of the musical Chicago gained new life with a Broadway revival in the 1990s, and an Oscar-winning film in 2002. The eerily prophetic story of murderous women and the manipulation of the media arrives for a one-week run at the Winspear.
