Featuring a live band and cast of Broadway stars and rock and roll performers including Rob Evan (Phantom of the Opera, Jekyll and Hyde), Danny Zolli (Jesus Christ Superstar), Lawrence Clayton (Jesus Christ Superstar, Dreamgirls, The Civil War), Patti Russo (the band "Meatloaf") and others along with a powerful story written by Pulitzer Prize playwright and author, Robert Schenkkan This rockin' in the aisles show is a must-see for all fans of classic rock music

Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor (K 626) was the composer's last composition and remains one of his most popular and respected works The unfinished piece has long been shrouded in mystery, since how much of the music Mozart completed before his death, and how much was later composed by others, is still debated The Master Chorale of South Florida, accompanied by the Boca Raton Symphonia and soloists, will perform this intriguing audience favorite in a program that also includes Mozart's popular Te Deum

First coming to prominence in the early '90s Charlie Hunter has since become one of the leading names in jazz, recording 17 albums, touring relentlessly, and earning a Grammy nomination Hunter is noted for playing custom-made seven and eight-string guitars, on which he simultaneously plays basslines, rhythm guitar, and solos Critic Sean Westergaard describes Hunter's innovative guitar technique as "mind-boggling he's an agile improviser with an ear for great tone, and always has excellent players alongside him in order to make great music, not to show off" He has a style that has to be heard – and seen - to be believed Hunter maintains a busy performance and recording schedule but he has not appeared in South Florida in over 3 years In a recent interview with NPR’s Liane Hansen, Mr Hunter specifically mentioned his upcoming Ft Lauderdale concert which is sure to be packed full of just as many new Hunter fans (thanks to recent work with Norah Jones, John Mayer, and John Scofield) as it will be with seasoned jazz fans who have never had a chance to witness him perform "…a man who has built his reputation by conquering hairy bass lines and heady post-bop melodies simultaneously on custom eight-string instruments… Hunter is still a musical beast" -Guitar Player Magazine "…Hunter rips through the air with superrock fuzz and fusion mettle" - Rolling Stone Magazine Tickets are $1999 - $2499 and can be purchased at wwwbienescenterforthearts-staorg

There's nothing like a good French pastry Doesn't matter if you find it in Paris - or in Fort Lauderdale These folks know how to bake sweets the right way Lately I've been making a semi-habit of going to one of the best French bakeries in South Florida Croissan'Time is a delightful shop in a strip mall, though it can be a little hard to find at first But really, it is definitely worth the effort Owned by Bernard Casse, Croissan'Time has been baking up luscious croissants, Danish, turnovers, beignets and more since 1986 For some reason, I had stopped here only on rare occasions in the past, often to buy a special treat for Easter or Thanksgiving No more It has joined a short list of my favorite morning stops these days 

Monsieur Casse has been doing this a while A long while, actually He's been a French baker and pastry chef for 43 years If you want a treat, drop by for a breakfast of a beignet and their wonderful coffee Mmm, it's most excellent

And if you do your dropping by on a Sunday, there's an extra treat waiting Croissan'Time has a live jazz band playing in front of the store on late Sunday mornings, a decent little trio with an unusually interesting drummer This place is a lot more than a coffee shop People come here and line up for boxes of cakes, pies and other pastries But there's also a whole lunch menu From quiches to salads, from brie to pate on a baguette, Croissan'Time offers many choices They even sell French butter, Madrange cooked French ham and game meats such as quail, partridge and venison Interesting restaurant, this In addition to the tasty food, Croissan'Time has transformed the sidewalk exterior into a surprisingly pleasant space, covered in climbing foliage and frequented by sparrows that chirp and wing energetically around To find Croissan'Time, head south on Federal Highway and look for it on the right side of the road just before Sunrise Boulevard Their address is 1201 N Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale The phone number is 954-565-8555 You won't see the Arc de Triomphe from their outdoor tables, obviously - but when you're tasting one of their beignets, it's easy enough to imagine
