Lauded by Rolling Stone as “absolutely incredible” and Broadway World as “an eye-popping display of storytelling that's like nothing else you've ever seen,” the electrified talents of Lightwire Theater bring their stage sensation A Very Electric Christmas to the University of Dubuque on November 28, a holiday-themed family event by the America's Go Talent competitors whom judge Sharon Osbourne declared “spectacular in every sense of the word.”

With the New York Times lauding the show as "85 minutes of sweetness, humor, and energetic high spirits," the Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical Seussical enjoys a November 26 through December 26 run of morning and matinée performances at Rock Island's Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse, the musical's recreation of beloved storybook characters and situations brought to life by Tony-winning composers Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.

Praised by Rolling Stone as an artist who “evokes the late, great Glen Campbell” and by No Depression as “the real deal,” Montana-based singer/songwriter Roddy Arman deadlines a November 27 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, her gifts inspiring Flood magazine to state, “The resolve in Arman's vocals recalls icons like Johnny Cash or Dolly Parton – both strong songwriters who were able to distill a sense of melancholy, romance, and sincerity in the necessary hurt of being human.”

Making their fourth appearance at the Maquoketa venue just in time for the holidays, the touring sensations of Branson on the Road: Christmas Style will bring their yuletide-themed blend of bluegrass and rockabilly to the Ohnward Fine Arts Center on November 27, this song- and comedy-filled entertainment reminiscent of the Grand Old Opry and boasting venerable talents in vocalist and host Debbie Horton and multi-instrumentalist Derwin Hinson.
