Disney’s Frozen at Riverside Theatre
Kicking off the cultural calendar, the young performers of Riverside Theatre Education are bringing a beloved tale to the stage. Directed by Kevin Quillinan, Disney’s Frozen runs from Thursday, June 18 through Saturday, June 27. The full-length Broadway musical adaptation follows the heartwarming journey of sisters Anna and Elsa as they discover the true meaning of courage, love, and self-discovery. Tickets are available for $20. Families can also opt for a pre-show dining experience for $32 per person, which includes kid-friendly meals, tax, and gratuity. Accompanying the production is Olaf’s Summer Bash, a free outdoor event at the Loop from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. featuring music, dancing, and special treats.
For adults seeking an evening out, Riverside Theatre’s Comedy Zone presents headliner Casey Peruski—known as the “nice guy” of comedy—and feature act Jim Moran on June 19 and June 20. Tickets for the comedy shows are $25, with early dining options available before the performances. The theater is located at 3250 Riverside Park Dr.
Big-Band Sounds with the Space Coast Symphony
If you are in the mood for classic swing, the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra is opening its 18th season right here in Vero Beach. On Sunday, June 21, at 3 p.m., the Emerson Center will host Sinatra and the Wonderful World of Oz. The concert elegantly bridges the music of The Wizard of Oz with a live recreation of a classic Sinatra performance at the Sands. Led by Andrew Cleaver and featuring vocalist Mark Romeo, the orchestra will perform timeless standards such as “Come Fly with Me,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” and “Fly Me to the Moon.”
The orchestra says the concert is meant to blend swing, nostalgia and orchestral energy in a setting built for live big-band sound.
