Also this week: Penn and Teller, Sarah Brightman, San Diego Opera’s choral concert and more
Taylor Renee Henderson, left, and Dianne Yvette rehearse a scene for Oceanside Theatre Company’s world premiere play with music “Manny and the Wise Queens,” opening Friday. Take it from actor Taylor Renee Henderson: “A wise queen,” she says, “knows how to get it done.”
“Manny and the Wise Queens” is set during the holiday season in 2020. Manny encounters the wise queens in his attic. No gold, frankincense and myrrh in this show.The comedy of “Manny and the Wise Queens” aside, the fact that the play is set during the pandemic is not lost on its cast. The magic team of Penn and Teller will perform Friday at Harrah’s Resort Southern California in Valley Center. I must be wrong about magic acts. To me they’re entertainment fit for kiddie birthday parties. So why are David Copperfield and the duo Penn and Teller such big Las Vegas headliners? Must be something I don’t see, and when it comes to magic it’s all about what you don’t see.
Now Brightman’s in a holiday mood, touring with her “A Christmas Symphony” show. That brings her to downtown’s Civic Theatre on Sunday night. San Diego’s one of only 14 cities on this December tour. The classic stop-motion animated holiday special “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” will return to network television 60th year on Friday. CBSHere’s a stocking stuffer for the kids — though I willingly admit I’ve seen “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” at least 30 times myself. The 1964 stop-motion, animated-puppet holiday special created by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass is airing for the 60th time at 8 p.m. Friday night on NBC.
