Six: The Musical
Spokane's Best of Broadway season is chock full of the hottest shows coming out of Broadway, and this year is no exception. Six is a product of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, debuting in July 2017 and making its way to London's West End in January 2019. The musical itself is a comedic modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of Henry Vlll. The twist is that it's presented in the form of a pop concert. The musical won two Tony Awards in 2022, one for Best Original Score and the other for Best Costume Design in a Musical. And rightfully so, the fashion on stage is just as phenomenal as the story. Jan. 23-28; Tue-Sat at 7:30 pm, Sat also at 2 pm, Sun at 1 pm and 6:30 pm, $52-$100, First Interstate Center for the Arts. broadwayspokane.com

Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox
There's nothing quite like a Postmodern Jukebox show. If you've never been, allow me to give you a rundown: Founded by jazz pianist Scott Bradlee, the band reinvents popular songs in the light of oft-ignored genres, mostly the vintage early 20th-century forms like swing and jazz. The band consists of a rotating cast of singers and musicians who often invite guest vocalists to perform with them. Highlights from this recent tour include covers of "Thriller "by Michael Jackson and a rendition of the ever-popular "Dancing Queen" by ABBA. No matter your musical taste, there's something for everyone at a PMJ show. Mon, Feb. 12 at 7:30 pm, $35-$188, The Fox Theater. foxtheaterspokane.org
