SUMMARY:Shawn Chidiac: Wonderful Amazing Exciting WAEW
DESCRIPTION:UAE-based Shawn Chidiac – known as myparents_are_divorced on Instagram – is great at character skits\, thanks in part to his excellent imitations of just about any accent from the region. The results have apparently offended some people\, but don’t come to comedy gigs if you’re oversensitive … Anyhow\, we’re promised “an evening of side-splitting humour\, heartfelt anecdotes\, and uproarious performances”\, which is just as well given the ticket prices. Also on the bill: two good Dubai stand-up stalwarts\, Imah Dumagay and Maher Barwany.

SUMMARY:The Phantom of the Opera
DESCRIPTION:Continuing its policy of attracting established blue-chip touring performances\, Dubai Opera is running Broadway Entertainment Group’s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s critically acclaimed musical for a three-week run. \nThe story is based on Gaston Leroux’s classic novel of a musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House in the 19th century. Mesmerised by the talent and beauty of the young soprano Christine\, the Phantom grooms her as his protégé – but that doesn’t go too well\, and his obsession sets the scene for a dramatic collision of jealousy\, madness and passion. \nThe show\, which celebrated 37 years last October\, has won over 70 major theatre awards – it’s Lloyd-Webber’s most successful – and reportedly has been seen by more than 160 million people worldwide; now it’s our turn … There are performances between 22 February and 10 March (not Mondays)\, with shows at 8pm on weekdays and 2pm and 8pm on Saturdays\, 2pm and 7.30pm on the Sundays. Tickets look a tad pricey\, but this is a lavish production with a big cast and a 2h45m run time that could well justify the cost. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:The UAE debut of the phenomenally successful Dutch violinist and conductor leading his Johann Strauss Orchestra\, chorus\, and a lineup of international soloists through a repertoire spanning classical masterpieces\, waltzes\, show tunes\, and iconic songs from film\, opera\, and musicals.

Sure to sell out\, even with something like 12\,000 seats available. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Laughter Factory: ‘Extermination Boredom!’ Tour
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to see this particular Laughter Factory bill. On it are American-Egyptian Maria Shehata\, making her debut in Dubai and trailing a CV that includes Comedy Central shows and some writing credits (“she is quite comfortable performing in a 15\,000 seater venue so it will be lovely to see her up close and personal in an intimate room”); Dimitri Bakinov\, another Dubai newbie and given to black humour (“darker than a trip down an abandoned coal mine\, with a broken torch”); and Abz Ali\, “the funniest Emirati you will ever come across”. \n  \n  \n
