SUMMARY:Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The longest running American musical in Broadway history – and “the most exciting musical of its generation” (The Times) – is coming to Yas for a decent run from 12-22 September 2024. \nFirst seen in 1975 and still an all-round stunner\, it is based on a 1926 play by one-time reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins and is built around actual crimes on which she reported; the book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse paints a tantalising tale of passion\, murder\, greed\, betrayal\, and redemption through the journey of two fiercely competitive women – aspiring jazz performer Roxie Hart and former vaudevillian (and double-murderess) Velma Kelly. John Kander and Fred Ebb were responsible for the score\, with each song modelled on a traditional vaudeville number or a vaudeville performer – a format that helped to make explicit the show’s comparison between justice\, showbiz\, and contemporary society. \nThis production is basically the 1996 Broadway revival\, which has been touring around the world more or less ever since. It is produced by Barry and Fran Weissler and choreographed by Tony Award winner Ann Reinking very much in the style of Bob Fosse. Direction is by another Tony Award winner\, Walter Bobbie. \nPerformances: \n12 September 7pm \n13 September 7pm \n14 September 1pm\n14 September 7pm \n15 September 1pm\n15 September 6pm \n16 September no performance\n17 September no performance\n18 September no performance \n19 September 7pm \n20 September 7pm \n21 September 1pm\n21 September 7pm \n22 September 1pm\n22 September 6pm \nThere are the door-open times; we’d guess the actual performances start an hour later. Ticket prices are higher for weekend shows

SUMMARY:Randa Maddah: Hanging Gardens
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural solo exhibition of the Syrian visual artist whose practice spans painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, video\, and installation. In this recent work\, Maddah repurposes the vocabulary of traditional miniature paintings to depict “dream-like scenes that negotiate themes of belonging\, resilience\, rootedness\, rebirth\, and renewal through natural elements … The work embodies the notion of a spirit shaped by harsh and absurd realities\, exploring themes of ecstasy\, liberation\, and reincarnation … Reflecting on transcendence and rebirth\, Maddah suggests that the body is merely a garment the soul sheds to wear anew\, offering hope that death is simply a gateway to a new life”. \nTo 1 November.

SUMMARY:Pascal Navarro: From the winter nights of Oslo to the golden lights of Dubai
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of Navarro’s abstract paintings. The artist says he considers himself primarily a colourist\, and the sun of Dubai has led him towards a palette of golden colours\, with light shades\, infused with the energy and movement that characterise this ever-evolving city. The nature of the materials he uses are equally important; though; “he embraces the element of surprise in the evolution of his work\, whether by cultivating intentional or accidental mistakes\, experimenting with plastic effects\, or using various types of paints …” To 27 September.
