Zomboy, HEYZ

Blackbox Theater 421 E Sugar Creek Rd, Charlotte, NC
$20
English dubstep producer, songwriter and DJ known as Zomboy hails from the Cornish town of Penzance, but do not confuse his bloodthirsty stadium-ready racket with fellow Englishmen Gilbert & Sullivan’s sprightly comic opera ‘The Pirates of Penzance.' Boasting symphonic metal melodies and savage growling, Zomboy’s 2021 dubstep anthem “Valley Of Violence” is the aural equivalent of a night terror, where you struggle awake only to see a malevolent dark figure grinning at the foot of...

Spring Works

Booth Playhouse 130 N. Tryon St., Charlotte, NC

‘Rock ’N’ Roll High School’

Independent Picture House 4237 Raleigh Street, Charlotte, NC
$8
Low budget meets high art when Independent Picture House explores the path from grindhouse to arthouse with this film series, which opens with an anarchic punk-rock musical masterpiece. “Do your parents know you’re Ramones?” snarls Principal Togar (Warhol superstar Mary Woronov) at Dee Dee, Joey, Johnny and Marky Ramone in the ultimate kids vs. authority epic ‘Rock ’N’ Roll High School by producer Roger Corman and director Allan Arkush.

‘Beetlejuice’

Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts 130 N Tryon St, Charlotte, NC
$25
‘Beetlejuice’ the musical jettisons the plot of the iconic Tim Burton film that made Michael Keaton a star. Instead, the plot focuses on an alliance between goth tween Lydia, who is mourning her deceased mom, and the titular “ghost with the most,” who is less seedy than Keaton’s version. Despite a sentimental streak, the show is a madcap carnival funhouse where the jokes fly as fast as bats from a belfry.

Queen City Comedy Fools’ Fest

Booth Playhouse 130 N. Tryon St., Charlotte, NC
$15
Presented by Blumenthal Arts and Charlotte’s preeminent improv troupe Queen City Comedy, the fest is a comical collaboration between local improvisers and stand-ups, Canadian Kids in the Hall legend Kevin McDonald, and offbeat Queen City singer-songwriter — and longtime pal of McDonald’s — Benji Hughes.

Wiki, Akai Solo, Papo2004, Jah-Monte Ogban

Snug Harbor 228 Gordon St., Charlotte, NC
$18.30
Noted for his slick wordplay, Charlotte MC Lord Jah-Monte Ogban spins a dizzying flow that leads you through a frozen hedgerow maze. Then he turns on a dime to drop a vignette or two of falling in, out or afoul of love. NYC rapper Patrick “Wiki” Morales made his mark with the sonic experimentation he crafted with Ratking. Still a nimble tongue-twisting artist, he grounds his hyperactive streak with gravitas and a focus on community.
