‘Six’ at the Eccles
The national touring production of the Broadway musical “Six” lands Tuesday at the Eccles Theater, 131 S. Main St., Salt Lake City, starting a run that goes through Jan. 21. The musical is staged like a girl-group pop concert, except each of the six women singing are the wives of Henry VIII, recounting in song their bad memories of the guy they have in common. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; 8 p.m. on Fridays, 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturdays, and 1 and 6:30 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are available at saltlakecity.broadway.com.
Jan. 12-27
‘Native Gardens’ at PTC
Pioneer Theatre Company’s production of the Utah premiere of playwright Karen Zacarías’ modern comedy “Native Gardens” happens, starting Friday and running through Jan. 27, at the Pioneer Memorial Theatre, 300 S. 1400 East, Salt Lake City. The play centers on a rising attorney, Pablo, and his wife, Tania, a doctoral candidate and mother-to-be, who have just bought a house in D.C., next door to an older couple with an elaborate English garden — and what happens when a barbecue and an old dispute over a fence line spirals into a feud. Tickets are available at pioneertheatre.org.
Jan. 12-13
A world premiere concerto
British pianist Sir Stephen Hough will perform the world premiere of his new concerto, “The World of Yesterday,” with the Utah Symphony, Friday and Saturday, 7:30 p.m. each night, at Abravanel Hall, 123 W. South Temple, Salt Lake City. Hough’s concerto is bookended by two more works by English composers: Elgar’s “Cockaigne (In London Town)” and Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No. 5.
