If your idea of a good night out includes great music and a cold drink, then The Choir of Man is right up your alley. This show is anything but typical. It's an uplifting, high-energy British jukebox musical with a real working bar on stage at the Bartlesville Community Theatre. You'll enjoy a huge variety of music—everything from Guns N’ Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Luther Vandross and Adele and even some Aviccii. We’re not sure if the bar will serve mocktails for the Dry January folks, but there's plenty here to keep the spirits high.
January 20. Tickets start at $30. bartlesvillecenter.com

Have you ever met a talking dog? Well, now's your chance! Comedian and ventriloquist Todd Oliver and his talking dog Irving are heading to Guthrie. And we hear that's not the only talking friend Todd is bringing along for The Funniest Night of Your Life comedy show at the Pollard Theatre. With a title like that, there's a lot to live up to, but Todd's no stranger to the spotlight. He and his friends participated in America's Got Talent, where his act was a top four finalist. Expect to meet an eclectic cast of ventriloquist characters—just don’t call them "dummies!"
January 23-25. Tickets, $10-$35.
