As the chart-climbing recording ‘Audio’ earns a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental, the Blue Man Group enjoys its record-setting fourth year at Briar Street Theatre. This show has become an international hit with four productions running concurrently. Reduced to basics, this show has three men with blue-painted deadpan faces doing slapstick and banging drums, pipes and various improvised percussion instruments. Their highly entertaining performance quickly captures and involves the audience with its humour, stunts, pulsating music, splashing paint and brash antics.

Bice

An outpost of Chicago’s in-again, out-again Italian eatery, Bice (pronounced ‘bee-chay’) is nestled in the Aladdin’s Moroccan-themed Desert Passage shopping centre. The restaurant surprises with a modern interpretation of standard Mediterranean design; the long bar under a high ceiling is an inviting place for a drink rather than a typically cramped waiting area. Eating ‘outside’ offers one the sense of a streetside café with Philippe Starck seating, but the menu is equally pricey. Choose from the expected selection of starters and pasta, but don’t miss the baked-to-order chocolate souffle.
