Wait... Let's Have Fun! is an hour of stand-up comedy from gay, ridiculous comedian and internet personality Tim Murray (50 Shades the Musical Off-Broadway, Voldemort the Musical Off-West End). Growing up a closeted gay boy in middle-of-nowhere Ohio, Tim is constantly trying to be the cool girl in school, even at 31. He delves into the true story of being cat-fished on the internet by someone pretending to be Britney Spears when he was 11 and his current day job: teaching acting to child models. The show is an hour long escape of heavy laughter and finding the fun in everything!

Energetic, urban and contemporary, Cirque du Soleil's VOLTA, written and directed by Bastien Alexandre, with Jean Guibert as the director of creation, is a captivating voyage of discovery that showcases never-before-seen under the Big Top acrobatics in a visually striking world. Driven by a stirring melodic score and inspired in part by the adventurous spirit that fuels the culture of street sports, VOLTA is a story of transformation, being true to oneself, fulfilling one's true potential, and recognizing one's own power to make it possible. The production is perhaps the most acrobatic show ever staged by Cirque du Soleil, with acts from around the world offering amazing displays of roller skating, balance, trampoline leaps through windows to rooftop, Double Dutch rope skipping, tumbling, rings, and BMX bicycle flips that challenge gravity.
