Briscoe

October 12, 2023, 07:30 PM

Loeb Playhouse

After winning over 6,000 new fans as an opener for Noah Kahan last spring at Elliott Hall of Music, pop duo Briscoe returns to Purdue – this time as deserving headliners. Led by Truett Heintzelman and Philip Lupton, the band pushes feel-good vibes throughout its eclectic sound, which borrows heavily from the laid-back and lush sounds of 1960s and ’70s rock, folk, and funk.

Emanating from the live music mecca of Austin, Texas, Briscoe earned its national recognition opening for and sharing stages with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, and Tame Impala—all while earning degrees from The University of Texas. Watch out for Briscoe’s debut LP produced by Brad Cook (Bon Iver, The War on Drugs, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats).

Mean Girls

October 26, 2023, 07:30 PM

Elliott Hall of Music

Direct from Broadway, Mean Girls is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and original director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon). 

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.

New York Magazine cheers, “Mean Girls delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery.” USA Today says, “We’ll let you in on a little secret, because we’re such good friends: GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!”

For nearly 20 years, Circa has been stunning audiences with jaw-dropping acrobatics. In Circa’s new show, Humans 2.0, performers climb and catch each other during a series of stunts that must be seen to be believed.

Physical limits are pushed to the extreme. Gravity is defied. Don’t miss the show that Australian media have called “spellbinding physical drama” and “a seriously sensational spectacle.”
