With this Irvine Barclay Theatre three-show package, you get tickets to three hot shows this December, April and May. In December, see last season's most talked about show, Stuffed and Unstrung, an adults-only puppet show from the minds of the Henson Studios. Host Patrick Bristow and six comedian puppeteers improvise a hilarious show using suggestions from the audience -- and the action is shown both on stage and in a live puppet feed on overhead screens. The hit London production of The Original Tribute to the Blues Brothers features Jake and Elwood, the beautiful Bluettes and a sizzling hot band churning out R&B hits including "Think," "Respect," and "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love." And in May, the newest cirque sensation from Montreal, 7 Fingers, delves into the world of the human psyche with P-S-Y. The amazingly skilled performers use acrobatics, dance, juggling, Chinese pole, German wheel, aerial rope, teeterboard and more to travel the landscape of our minds in this mad circus.

Description

Performances may not be appropriate for children under age 6. Parents are advised to use discretion.

Three very different events give you three opportunities to enjoy the best in entertainment in the new year.

Stuffed and Unstrung

Choose from December 28 or 29

Henson Alternative’s
Stuffed and Unstrung
Created by Brian Henson & Patrick Bristow

Be forewarned! They may look like cuddly little muppets wonderfully crafted by the Henson Workshop, but they have a wicked sense of humor.

No two performances are alike. Host Patrick Bristow and six superb comedian/puppeteers improvise on suggestions from the audience to create a one-of-a-kind show that can be enjoyed two different ways. Watch the action onstage, or view the live puppet feed projected on screens overhead. It's double the fun. Each show also features recreations of a couple of Jim Henson classics that first aired on the Ed Sullivan Show and launched the Henson phenomenon.

Stuffed and Unstrung contains adult content, and audience members younger than 18 will not be admitted.

The Original Tribute to The Blues Brothers

Choose from April 4 & 5, 2012

The Smash-Hit Musical From London's East End

It’s a musical, sort of. But, it’s really a wall-to-wall, song-after-song entertainment extravaganza of Blues Brothers-era hits including “Think,” “Respect,” and “Everybody Needs Somebody to Love.” Jake and Elwood, the beautiful Bluettes and a sizzling hot band literally fill up the stage and hall with the infectious sound of soul and R&B.

The original Blues Brothers tribute band started in an English pub in 1991. Producers who were fans of the characters created by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd brought the band to the stage in a rapturous run in London’s West End. The production evolved, has toured for years in Europe and Asia and now, at last, appears in the U.S.

From the moment Jake and Elwood “descend” on stage to the stand-up finale, the Blues Brothers are “on a mission” to entertain.

"A rip-roaring, foot stomping boogie." --Daily Mail

The Seven Fingers: P-S-Y

Choose from May 9 & 10, 2012

A West Coast Premier

From Montreal, The 7 Fingers is Canada’s latest rising star in the cirque world. Their show, Traces, is already an international hit. And P-S-Y, their fifth show, is on its way. Just check out the reviews from their summer run in Boston. The ten-year-old company’s name in French (Les 7 Doigts de la Main) refers to the company’s seven founders, and is a twist on an idiom about disparate elements working together like fingers of a hand.

“Most dreams last only five to 20 minutes,” a voice intones in the opening moments of P-S-Y, a whimsical and whirlwind subconscious journey through the human psyche. This one lasts nearly two hours and according to the Boston Globe is “…a transfixing circus spectacle that boggles both the mind and eye…” The Boston Examiner agrees, “The performance delved into the human psyche with a combination of physically demanding circus arts, graceful choreography, and stunning theatrics. After seeing P-S-Y, I believe the show’s tagline ‘Mind-Blowing Circus’ is a fairly accurate description.”
