4 Live Shows You Have to See
There’s a lot to see in Maryland on any given day, but every now and then the universe surprises us with something extra special. I don’t know about you, but something about the winter months makes me want to see a show. But if pantos aren’t your thing anymore, there are plenty of other options to get you excited months in advance. Take a look at our suggestions for where to scratch that showtime itch and amaze yourself with spectacle.
Firefly 2023
Another Firefly music festival has wrapped up, and you know what that means: time to save for next year’s ticket. Held in September, the Firefly Music Festival turns Delaware’s Dover woodlands into a musical experience. The new line-up has yet to be announced but with headliners for the 2022 show made up of Halsey, Dua Lipa, My Chemical Romance, and Green Day, you know there will be something for everyone and massive names to see. But the gig is just the start. Snooze in your hammock in The Nook after a long night in the Silent Disco, with a few too many Firefly Brewery Ales sampled.
Cirque du Soleil
If you love death defying actions mixed with a heavy dose of grace and beauty to your shows, you’ll love Cirque Du Soleil. There are shows happening all over the country, and even the world, but if you don’t fancy shelling out for a flight, you can get tickets to the Cirque du Soleil ECHO show coming to Washington in September 2023. There will be lots of shows running from September 6th to October 22nd so plenty of chances to see the spins, the colors, the dancing, the music and the magic. The ECHO show demonstrates the philosophy of evolution and the connection between humans and animals in a show featuring impressive spinning acrobatics.
Lior Suchard
If you like your shows a little mysterious, you should get tickets to see Lior Suchard. The world’s greatest mentalist will leave you speechless. Made for people who like psychological thrillers more than horror, these shows feature not only the idea of someone reading your mind but even implanting an idea into your mind. Watch Lior Suchard make the impossible possible in a mind-bending show that will leave you amazed.
Baltimore Comic Con
Considered “America’s Greatest Comic Book Convention” by fans, Baltimore Comic Con is a staple in every out and proud nerd’s calendar. Whether you love the cosplay, the merchandise, the stars, the over-analysis that keeps you up at night, or a mix of the lot, you’re sure to love the Baltimore Comic Con. The 2022 Baltimore Comic Con just wrapped at the end of October, tantalizingly close to Halloween, so you can expect it to return roughly the same weekend next year. This year featured John Leguizamo, the guy who made a career of being the funny Latino guy in everything, like the Bruno no one is supposed to talk about, and four Disney princesses, including Ariel, or Jodi Benson, Pocahontas, or Judy Kuhn, Jasmine, Linda Larkin, and Belle, Paige O’Hara.
