"It is the perfect indoor refuge from the February chill, offering a high-energy performance in a heated, world-class venue. It provides a sophisticated night out for professionals and older families without the logistical stress of outdoor winter conditions."

PRO TIP: Arrive at least 45 minutes early to grab a drink and find your seat; the Belding Theater is intimate and fills quickly.
