Introducing the MidAtlantic Men a mesmerizing trio who’ve dazzled audiences on Broadway stages with their captivating vocals and magnetic charm. Comprising two endearing Americans and one witty Brit, they’ve set out on a musical quest to settle a timeless debate: which side of the pond, Britain or the US, truly has the superior tunes? Dive into an auditory adventure as they bring iconic hits from legends like Elvis, The Beatles, Madonna, and Queen to life, seamlessly weaving in classics from Elton John, Billy Joel, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, and more. As they blend their voices in harmonious perfection, their playful banter and delightful humor have left audiences around the world entertained and enthralled. The MidAtlantic Men finally settle the score…. who does it better?”
This group have toured the planet and first met on the stages of London and Broadway where they continue to delight crowds when they aren’t together as MidAtlantic Men. Notable credits like Les Miserables, American Idiot, Dear Evan Hansen, Sweeney Todd and Billy Elliot to name just a few. The trio also have the unique honor of having performed concerts on every continent, including Antarctica. Currently, they all reside in NYC and, despite their different accents, have formed a bond over their love of performing. Not only are they singers in the MidAtlantic Men, but they are “multi-hyphenates” in their own right with talents ranging from voiceovers (the voice of Burger King and Covergirl), film acting (Billions, Nurse Jackie), composing original off-Broadway musicals (I Love My Family But…), writing and comedy (UCB

Joe Bonamassa is one of today’s top live performers. His enthusiastic shows are one of the biggest parts of his career, and a favorite for music lovers worldwide.

Backed by a stellar band of legendary musicians, the set list for this show will feature new songs alongside career-spanning favorites. By exceeding his own vertiginously high artistic goals, Bonamassa has shattered all expectations with 28 number 1 Billboard Blues Albums (more than any other artist in history). Bonamassa’s career in the music industry has built steadily over the years and is only gaining more momentum.

Odessa Shakespeare Festival- Julius Caesar
2025-11-22 19:00 - 20:30 | The Globe of the Great Southwest, 2308 Shakespeare Road, Odessa, TX, 79761, United States
Experience Julius Caesar like never before as the Texas Shakespeare Festival brings this gripping political tragedy to life at the historic Globe Theatre at Odessa College.
A highlight of the 2025 Odessa Shakespeare Festival, this live performance takes place in a venue unlike any other—a faithful replica of William Shakespeare’s original 1599 Globe Theatre.
Set in ancient Rome, Julius Caesar explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and betrayal as senators plot to assassinate Caesar to save the republic, only to unleash chaos and civil war. The play’s iconic lines, moral complexity, and dramatic intensity remain strikingly relevant today. This is a rare opportunity to witness professional Shakespearean theatre in an authentic setting that evokes the experience of 16th-century London.
This is your chance to see one of the Bard’s most powerful works performed by some of Texas’s finest classical actors, live and on stage, where Shakespeare himself would feel right at home.
