Upcoming Events


Gabriel Iglesias
Thursday, March 11
8:00 p.m.
Theater



Gabriel Iglesias has been described as unbelievably funny, electrifying, and a gifted performer who has the ability to consistently deliver a quality comedy experience in every venue he performs in. His high-octane show is a hilarious mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring all his personal issues to life. Gabe's clean, animated comedy style has earned national crossover appeal. Ask anyone who has seen him in concert and you will probably hear the same thing, "He was so funny!"

Known as the "fluffy" comic in a Hawaiian shirt, the 32-year old funny man often riffs about his girthy middle - whether it's talking about how little dancing it takes for him to work up a sweat at the nightclub, or how hearing his girlfriend coo the words "chocolate cake" over the telephone works for him like phone sex, he evokes laughter.

Gabriel's credits include: "Last Comic Standing", ABC's "My Wife & Kids," Showtime's "Resurrection Boulevard," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Good Morning America," "Mind of Mencia," "The Late Late Show," FOX TV's "The Family Guy," "Showtime at the Apollo" and BET's "Comic View." His big screen debuts include the independent films "El Matador," and "The Surfer King" to name a few.

Tickets are $33 each and are on sale now. They can be purchased at the Mobile Civic Center Box Office and all Ticketmaster outlets. To purchase by phone, call 1-800-745-3000, or purchase online through Ticketmaster.


Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance
Saturday, March 13
7:30 p.m.
Theater


    

     Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance tour -- the international Irish dancing phenomenon that has performed sold out shows at theatres, arenas and stadiums in more than 45 countries -- is returning to theaters across the United States for its 11th consecutive year. More than 55 million people worldwide have seen Lord of the Dance, coming off an extremely successful and highly acclaimed four-year residency in Las Vegas – with an estimated 5 million people attending the show.

Described by the New York Post as "fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining," and by the Los Angeles Times as "a showpiece extravaganza," Lord of the Dance is a mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance. The story is a classic tale of good vs. evil based on old Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, the Dark Lord, challenges the Lord of the Dance. It is also a passionate love story that is expressed through dance numbers that transport audiences into a mystical and exhilarating world of intense passion. The action is played out over 21 scenes, on a grand scale of precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and state-of-the-art staging and lighting.

Tickets are $52, $40, or $29 and are on sale now. Tickets can be purchased at the Mobile Civic Center Box Office or any Ticketmaster outlet. To charge by phone, call 1-800-745-3000, or purchase online through Ticketmaster.
