To help get you into the Halloween spirit, Honeywell Center has announced Broadway Fright Night on Thursday, Oct. 24. 

This unique event celebrates songs from musicals with supernatural, horror, and sci-fi themes. 

Those include songs from musicals like Phantom of the Opera, Little Shop of Horrors, Sweeney Todd, The Rocky Horror Show, Wicked, Jekyll & Hyde, and more. 

Curated and presented by New York producer and casting director Stephen DeAngelis, five of Broadway’s finest vocalists will pay homage to the most original, intriguing, and terrifying characters. 

Like the majority of the shows, Honeywell Center will have pre-show dining available, so you don’t have to worry about grabbing fast food on your way over. 

Tickets for this “spook-tacular” event can be purchased at honeywellarts.org or by stopping at their box office from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Grammy-winning trumpeter stops in Wabash

On top of the Broadway Fright Night news, the Honeywell has also announced that on Sunday, March 9, they will open their stage to the Grammy-winning trumpeter Chris Botti

The trumpet virtuoso has been one of the most popular instrumentalists in the world for nearly three decades and has collaborated with some of the biggest superstars including Sting, Paul Simon, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and Aretha Franklin. 

I’ll be the first to tell you, I don’t know much about the trumpet, but Botti must be doing something right to be surrounded by that crew. 

Grab your tickets at honeywellarts.org or show up at their box office, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
