Chances are good that you've heard one of Connie Francis' songs, from the timeless "Where the Boys Are" — which reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1961 — to the seasonally appropriate "Stupid Cupid." Those classics defined a generation, and will be setting the tone at Monique Maffei Hester's tribute to Francis. Maffei Hester's "Golden Voice" is undoubtedly ready to do justice to Francis' signature crooning.

Bonus points for the performance being held at the Composers Room, which perfectly encapsulates the intimate, community-oriented vibe of yesteryear's Vegas showrooms. Francis would be proud.

Nevada ranks fifth in the nation for most rapes per capita, and second for its domestic violence rate. That's why Dr. Mandi Gray, who has worked with women and girls involved with the legal system for almost 20 years, believes understanding the laws surrounding sexual violence is so important in its prevention. She's the author of Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law, which critically examines the use of U.S. defamation law to silence reports, disclosures, and broader conversations about abuse. This discussion at UNLV aims to shed light on this type of violence and, through education, hopefully prevent Gray's fear from becoming a reality: That "if such (defamation) lawsuits (against victims) continue, we will witness the disappearance of sexual violence discourse."

In one of the most interesting Strip residencies and local concert collaborations, rapper Nas hired the Las Vegas Philharmonic to help him perform his classic album, Illmatic, in full. For those who don’t know, Illmatic came out a little more than 30 years ago and became an instant classic, putting east coast hip-hop back on the minds of audiences who had been completely awash in west coast hip-hop for the previous 6 or so years. Expect to hear lots of samples — soul and jazz, notably — and this is where the Philharmonic comes in, recreating the strings, keys, and horns you hear on the record.

Life is a cabaret, old chum! At least it feels like that lately. Timeless and timely for the events we’re living through, John Kander and Fred Ebb’s beloved 1966 musical, Cabaret, is a classic for a reason. Set in pre-Third Reich Berlin, the vibe is such that people are looking for excuses to exercise their freedom before things go full fascist. Enter the Kit Kat Club, which is luring patrons with the promise of last-gasp debauchery and escapism — you know, the sort of things Vegas nightclubs also promise but never deliver. And, the story centers around a love story, so this isn’t just a wallflower’s account of a wily place.

And speaking of wallflowers: This is Majestic Repertory, which means the action will envelop at least some of the audience. You can choose to sit in the stands if you want to merely observe, or you can opt for a VIP table and literally sit as if you’re at the Kit Kat Klub.

I’m not one for floating hotels, but the Sassy Seniors Cruise sounds too good to pass up. Some of the residents from the Magnolia Place Assisted Living agree — they spent all of 2017’s Four Old Broads (by Leslie Kimbell) trying to lock in a vacation. The 2019 sequel finally sees those lucky ladies setting sail for the Bahamas. And what might they encounter once aboard? Murder, topless bathing, and a drag queen sassier than any of them. Audiences get to enjoy it all … from the mainland.
