May 5- “Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held on May 5, which commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage. Today, revelers around the world mark the occasion with parades, parties, mariachi music, Mexican folk dancing and traditional foods such as tacos and drinking typical beverages such as margaritas or just tequila.

May 5 to 8-“Breaking Up is Hard To Do”-The Songs of Neil Sedaka

The smash hit musical “Breaking Up is Hard to Do” celebrates the timeless songwriting magic of the legendary Neil Sedaka! This humorous and heartwarming musical features 20 of Sedaka’s most popular songs including “Oh Carol,” “Laughter in the Rain,” “Stupid Cupid” and “Solitaire.” Expect laughter, longing and a whole lotta love!

The story: Flashback to Labor Day weekend 1960! Best friends Marge and Lois hightail it out of Brooklyn for a much-needed vacation at Esther’s Paradise Resort in the Catskills. After a devastating breakup, the girls are looking for romance “where the boys are.” Romance does indeed flourish and in the most unusual of places but is it the kind of love that will end their “lonely nights?” Add in a visitor from American Bandstand who just might be able to help to save the Resort and you’ve got one heck of a story that audiences just love. Add in two fantastic stars, Barry Pearl who everyone remembers as Doody in the smash movie “Grease” and Christine Pedi, Broadway star and Sirius XM Radio host of On Broadway and you have a recipe for a great show!
