Aluminum ... it's not just for foil [things to do]
Steel yourself for this space-age mix of Blue Man Group, Cirque and Stomp. The offbeat production is no musical, although music is part of it. "The Aluminum Show" is a combination of dance, design, optical illusion, visual gag, sculpture, puppeteering and pantomime. The six cast members and four stage assistants in it manipulate or wear various-sized Slinky-like ducts, tubes and other metallic objects and shapes. It's the next attraction in the Broadway series at the Victoria Theatre running March 9-21. More »

LIke Asian food? Here are some restaurants worth trying [restaurants]
