    Theater and music are the big things to see around Dallas this weekend, as they're the focus of nearly every event on our list. They include a Tony-winning play, another play aimed at breaking down stereotypes, acrobatics on ice, no fewer than five big-name concerts, a celebration of movie music, stellar dance, and more.

    Below are the best ways to spend your free time this weekend. Want more options? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, June 13

    AT&T Performing Arts Center presents Broadway Series: The Play that Goes Wrong
    What would happen if Sherlock Holmes and Monty Python had an illegitimate Broadway baby? You’d get the award-winning smash comedy The Play that Goes Wrong. Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous, with an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). The play will run at Winspear Opera House through Sunday.

    WaterTower Theatre presents Unveiled: A One Woman Play
    Five Muslim women from around the world sip tea and share stories about faith, culture, and prejudice in this groundbreaking one-woman show, written and performed by critically acclaimed playwright and actor Rohina Malik. Unveiled is an uplifting and universal performance sure to break down stereotypes of Muslim women. It will run at WaterTower Theatre in Addison through June 30.

    Cirque du Soleil: Crystal
    Crystal is not just an ice show; it’s the very first experience on ice from Cirque du Soleil. Led by Crystal, the misfit heroine, who takes the audience on an exhilarating tale of self-discovery as she dives into a world of her own imagination, world-class ice skaters and acrobats claim their new frozen playground with speed and fluidity as they challenge the laws of gravity with never-before-seen acrobatics. The show will be at Comerica Center in Frisco through Sunday.

    Friday, June 14

    Florida Georgia Line in concert with Dan + Shay, Morgan Wallen, and Hardy
    Country duo Florida Georgia Line hit the ground running in 2012, reaching No. 1 with their debut album, Here's to the Good Times​, a feat they've repeated with their next three albums, including their new album, Can't Say I Ain't Country. They play at Dos Equis Pavilion, joined by opening acts Dan + Shay, Morgan Wallen, and Hardy.

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents Star Trek and Beyond
    The Dallas Symphony Orchestra will present an evening of the greatest science fiction movie scores ever written, including Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, E.T The Extra-Terrestrial, Star Wars, and more. The concert, under the direction of Jeff Tyzik, will play at Meyerson Symphony Center through Sunday.

    Paul McCartney in concert
    Sir Paul McCartney, who will turn 77 years old on June 18, remains as much of an entertainer as he was with The Beatles 50 years ago. And now he's showing us new tricks: The legendary singer, making his first appearance in Dallas-Fort Worth since 2014, will put on the first major concert at Globe Life Park in Arlington in its 25-year history. He's touring in support of his 2018 album, Egypt Station.

    Bruce Wood Dance presents Embrace
    Embrace features the return of Joy Bollinger’s highly acclaimed Carved In Stone, along with a world premiere from renowned choreographer Garrett Smith. The program concludes with the re-staging of Bruce Wood’s mysterious Dark Matter, which tells the story of a journey of a motley crew of dancers looking for a way home. The company will perform at Moody Performance Hall on Friday or Saturday.

    "Weird Al” Yankovic in concert
    Someone who writes and performs comedy songs for a living is not supposed to have an extended career, but somehow "Weird Al" Yankovic is almost as popular as ever, after 36 years in the business. His last album, 2014's Mandatory Fun, was the first No. 1 album of his career. He'll play at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving as part of his Strings Attached tour, featuring a 71-piece orchestra.

    Saturday, June 15

    Texas Summer Jam with Randy Rogers & Friends
    Whataburger and Randy Rogers will present the Second Annual Texas Summer Jam at Toyota Music Factory in Irving. The festival will include a non-ticketed pre-party at the Texas Lottery Plaza Stage starting at 3:30 pm, featuring performances by Ray Johnston Band, Wynn Williams, and Holly Tucker. The Main Stage inside The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory will kick off at 7 pm and include performances by Randy Rogers Band, Josh Abbott Band, and William Clark Green.

    Hootie & The Blowfish in concert with Barenaked Ladies
    If you want to make anyone who came of age in the '90s feel old, you just have to point them to this concert, which has Hootie & The Blowfish celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Cracked Rear View. The band, which will soon release their first new album since 2005, will play at Dos Equis Pavilion alongside another '90s mainstay, Barenaked Ladies.

    Sunday, June 16

    Clint Black and Trace Adkins in concert with Pam Tillis
    Local country station 99.5 The Wolf will celebrate its 21st birthday in a big way with a concert featuring country stars Clint Black, Trace Adkins, and Pam Tillis. Black and Adkins are appearing as part of their Hits. Hats. History. Tour, a nod to the long history of each in the industry and their shared past when they toured together in the '90s. They'll play at The Theatre at Grand Prairie.

    Cirque du Soleil: Crystal will be at Comerica Center in Frisco through June 16.

    Irving City Council to vote on possible casino in Texas Stadium space

    A casino and resort from Dallas Mavericks owners could be closer to reality after a zoning commission vote in Irving on land along Highway 114.

    At a late-night meeting on March 17, the City of Irving’s Zoning Commission voted 5-4 to rezone the area around the Cowboys' former home at Texas Stadium for a casino from Las Vegas Sands Corp and mixed-use development. It will next head to the City Council for a vote on Thursday, March 20.

    The proposed Sands Casino that's currently under consideration comes from Miriam Adelson and the Adelson family, who purchased the Mavericks from Mark Cuban in 2023.

    It's part of a Planned Unit Development 6, or PUD 6, which seeks to add "high intensity mixed use buildings"

    According to the city agenda, about 1,001 acres could be rezoned to include retail, residential, office, hotel, and services. Though gambling hasn’t been made legal under Texas law except for those on tribal land, the owners of Sands still plan to pursue their retail and mixed-use projects if the constitution isn't amended to allow a casino.

    Regardless, many residents and locals are against the casino. They listed potential issues that could come from a casino if approved, including gambling, increased traffic and wait times, and the proximity to schools and colleges.

    "Casino gambling does not align with the values that have made Irving a great place to live, work, and raise a family," said one resident during the public hearing. "The long-term costs to our community far outweigh any short-term financial benefits."

    "The area around there is filled with educational institutions like Cistercian Preparatory and University of Dallas," another resident shared. "The calm and quiet area that is currently conducive to learning will be forever polluted with commercial ventures like casinos. Please don't spoil the ambience there."

    Additionally, an arena with at least 15,000 seats could still be in the cards to be included with the resort because it tracks with their previous properties.
