T.A.’s Top 5 Must‑See Shows This Kravis Season
(because no one’s budget can handle them all… unless your rich aunt in Jupiter adopts you)
- MJ: The Musical – Feb 10–15
If you’re not moonwalking out of Dreyfoos Hall, you did it wrong. Tony-winning energy, all the hits, and dance moves you’ll “accidentally” try later when no one’s looking.
2. ‘Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil – Nov 20–30
Finally, a holiday show that’s elves-meets-acrobatics. It’s like Santa joined Cirque training instead of the sleigh team.
3. Rick Springfield & Richard Marx – Date TBA
Two pop‑rock heartthrobs, one concert. Expect “Jessie’s Girl” sing‑alongs, “Right Here Waiting” swaying, and an entire audience Googling “are they still single?”
4. The Wiz – Oct 21–26
Follow the yellow brick road… Palm Beach style. This vibrant revival has the soul, sparkle, and sass to send you skipping all the way to Clematis.
5. Josh Johnson – Nov 6
Former Tonight Show writer, TikTok comedy assassin, and my personal obsession. He serves news‑cycle‑sharp humor that somehow feels like you’re spilling tea with your funniest friend. The algorithm loves him, I love him, you’ll love him. Period.
T.A. Pro Tip:
Don’t get played. Fake tickets, jacked-up prices, and “service fees” that could fund a small island trip? Hard pass. If you want the real deal — at the real price — buy your Kravis Center tickets at Kravis.org. Not .com. Not your neighbor’s “I know a guy.” Kravis.org. Trust me — your wallet (and your seat) will thank you.
