    Maroon 5 and Dallas Mavericks top the best events in Dallas this weekend

    Alex Bentley
    Mar 21, 2013 | 12:00 am

    It's another one of those reverse weekends, where the longer you wait to go out on the town, the fewer chances you'll have of attending the events that everyone will be talking about. But even if you miss out on the big ones, the weekend is full of great stuff to do.

    Below are the best options for your precious free time Thursday through Sunday. Don't like what you see? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, March 21

    Maroon 5 in concert with Neon Trees and Owl City
    You would think that because the fourth season of The Voice​ is about to kick off, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine would be too busy spinning his chair to go out on tour. But live episodes don't start until April, so he and his bandmates have plenty of time to headline a killer lineup at American Airlines Center that also features Neon Trees and Owl City.

    Yes in concert
    Hardcore fans of any band know what casual fans often miss — namely that although groups become known for specific songs, you can't really know them until you listen to their entire albums. Fans of Yes get to experience eternal bliss at Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie as the classic band plays through three albums — The Yes Album, Close to the Edge and Going for the One — in their entirety.

    Friday, March 22

    Deep Ellum Brewing Company presents Drink Local, Give Global
    If your idea of charity is downing a few craft beers, Deep Ellum Brewing Company has a deal for you. As part of International World Water Day, the brewery is hosting this charitable event, which helps provide clean water in Rwanda. For $25 you get three beers, a tour of the brewery, live music and the enjoyment of helping those less fortunate.

    Citizen Cope in concert
    Citizen Cope, aka Clarence Greenwood, is a singular force. Since gaining legions of fans in the early 2000s for songs like "Sideways" and "Let the Drummer Kick," he's gone through two labels before finally deciding to self-publish his music. That hasn't hurt his quality one bit, as the sold-out crowd at House of Blues Dallas will witness firsthand.

    Saturday, March 23

    2013 Festival De Los Mavs
    Sure, the Dallas Mavericks are having a so-so season, thanks in no small part to Dirk Nowitzki missing a good chunk of the season. But they're the only team to deliver a championship to the city in the 21st century, so this celebration outside American Airlines Center, aimed at Latino fans, is still worth attending. It offers a chance for autographs, live music and more Mavericks goodies.

    Dallas Summer Musicals presents Mary Poppins
    It's hard to believe, but Mary Poppins has only been a Broadway musical since 2006. All the songs we know and love originated with the 1964 Disney film based on P.L. Travers' books. Dallas Summer Musicals welcomes the national tour into Music Hall at Fair Park for a short 10-day run through March 30, so you have limited chances to see Poppins and her umbrella take flight.

    Sunday, March 24

    Dallas Children's Theater presents A Wrinkle in Time
    When Dallas Children's Theater chooses its programming, it's probably safe to say that special effects don't often enter into the equation. But the production of A Wrinkle in Time might require a few, given that the plot has the characters traveling across space and time. The play, adapted from the Madeleine L'Engle book that's celebrating its 50th anniversary, runs through April 14.

    Upstart Productions and See What I Say Playworks presents Apartment Plays
    Over the last few years, Upstart Productions has become known for presenting edgy theater productions, mostly adapted from established works. Apartment Plays is a twin bill of original one-act plays, both set in an apartment in downtown Dallas. Dallas theater veteran Bruce R. Coleman wrote and directed both, which run through April 6 at The Green Zone.

    Adam Levine and Maroon 5 will play at American Airlines Center on Thursday night with Neon Trees and Owl City.

    Reba McEntire hosts the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards in Frisco on May 8.

    The run of weekends with almost too much to do continues around Dallas, headlined by a big concert with a pre-game party. Other choices include a great art experience, a Smurfs event, an awards show with Country music royalty, four theater productions, a legendary singer in concert, a dance production, a symphony concert, a celebration of military aircraft, a Asian American festival, a visit from a famous foodie, a unique stringed-instrument concert, and an event featuring two very funny comedians.

    Below are the best ways to spend your free time this weekend. If you want more options, check out the calendar for an even longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, May 8

    Dallas Museum of Art presents "Return to Infinity: Yayoi Kusama"
    For the first time since 2018, the DMA will install Yayoi Kusama’s All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins, an iteration of the artist’s iconic “Infinity Mirrored Rooms” incorporating one of the artist’s quintessential symbols, the pumpkin. This boundary-pushing experiential work draws on several of Kusama’s characteristic themes, including infinity, the sublime, and obsessive repetition, allowing the viewer to literally become a part of the art. The exhibition will remain on display through January 18, 2026.

    The Smurf Experience
    The Smurf Experience is an immersive attraction that lets guests transform into a Smurf with a mission to save the planet from the evil wizard, Gargamel. Traveling through Smurf Village, the Enchanted Forest, and Gargamel’s lair, The Smurf Experience includes scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, virtual reality adventures, meet-and-greets with beloved Smurf characters, and more. The event will continue through at least August 11 at Esports Stadium Arlington.

    60th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards
    The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards will celebrate the best in Country music. Hosted by Reba McEntire, the milestone show honors six decades of unforgettable performances, iconic artists, and rising stars shaping the genre today. Performers will include Chris Stapleton, Ashley McBryde, Kane Brown, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, and more. The event takes place at the Ford Center in Frisco.

    AT&T Performing Arts Center presents Forbidden Broadway: Merrily We Stole a Song
    From Frozen to Phantom to Wicked, Forbidden Broadway is a satirical roast of over 30 Broadway hits featuring outrageous costumes, silly spoofs of the songs you know by heart, and madcap impressions by a stellar cast. A New York sensation for 35 years, a talented quintet of comic chameleons throw out pointed parodies at a dizzying pace. The production will have four performances through Saturday at Wyly Theatre.

    Paul Simon in concert: A Quiet Celebration
    Legendary singer/songwriter Paul Simon, now 83 years old, will make a rare live appearance after retiring from touring in 2018. One of the few artists to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice - for his work with Simon & Garfunkel and his solo career - Simon will present the live debut of his 2023 Grammy-nominated album, Seven Psalms, alongside a celebration of his timeless classics. The second of two concerts (the first took place Wednesday) will be at Winspear Opera House.

    Friday, May 9

    Post Malone's Travelin' Tailgate
    It's a big enough deal that Post Malone is bringing his F-1 Trillion tour to AT&T Stadium on Friday, where he'll be joined by Jelly Roll and Sierra Ferrell, but it will be preceded by the Travelin’ Tailgate, a free event that's open to anyone, regardless of whether you have a concert ticket or not. Running from 12-6 pm outside the stadium, it will feature live music, food, beer, merch, carnival games, photo opportunities, and tattoos by Posty’s personal tattoo artists.

    Theatre Arlington presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
    15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. Now it is seven minutes after midnight, and Christopher stands beside his neighbor’s dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery, but his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world. The production runs through May 25 at Theatre Arlington.

    Avant Chamber Ballet presents Masterworks
    Masterworks showcases the artistic genius of four renowned choreographers with a live orchestra. It features masterpieces by August Bournonville, the father of Romantic ballet; Christopher Wheeldon, one of the most sought-after choreographers of our time; Paul Mejia, a leader in the modern vision for ballet; and Marius Petipa, the pinnacle of classical ballet. The production will have performances on Friday and Saturday at Moody Performance Hall.

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents "¡Bailamos! A Night of Latin Music"
    Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra will present a night of sultry Latin music, featuring tango classics and ballads. Edna Vázquez will spread her message of light, love and cultural healing. Argentine bandoneón artist Héctor Del Curto will perform music by the iconic Astor Piazzolla and Carlos Gardel, including the famous “Por Una Cabeza.” Argentine master dancers Celina Rotundo and Hugo Patyn will perform the tango alongside the music. There will be three performances through Sunday at Meyerson Symphony Center.

    Pegasus Theatre presents Death/Take:1!
    After getting trapped on a cruise liner with Harry and Nigel, Lt. Foster and his friends end up in Egypt. Inside the pyramid the intrepid trio has entered, an action-adventure movie is being shot. The hapless film director, the famous action-adventure star, and his leading lady are being bullied by the all-powerful screenwriter. With tension thick in the air, it isn’t long before someone snaps and someone eats a lead sandwich. Harry, Nigel, and Foster have to solve this nefarious crime before the killer strikes again. The production runs through May 24 at Bath House Cultural Center.

    Ochre House Theater presents Moving Creatures
    Moving Creatures is a politically charged satire about an evil and intolerable oligarch, Baron Leopold Verdugo, and his four monstrous creations. The Baron is a soured, bloated old goat who lords over a once rich and beautiful region that is now a wasteland due to the Baron’s greediness. The monsters were once beautiful, successful women that fell victim to the Baron’s insatiable desire to kill, destroy, and rebuild in his own image. The production runs through May 24 at Ochre House Theater.

    Saturday, May 10

    Commemorative Air Force presents Warbird Weekend
    Warbird Weekend takes visitors back in time to see vintage aircraft and vehicles up close.

    Alton Brown Live: Last Bite

The famed foodist will reflect on his decades in food media, present several of his favorite culinary mega-hacks, and sing some of his funny food songs as part of the culinary variety show. The event takes place at Texas Trust CU Theatre at Grand Prairie.

    Hee Yun Kim presents Strings Across the Pacific
    Strings Attached Across the Pacific is a concert with a unique ensemble of culturally diverse string instruments, where the two-stringed bowed instruments from the East, the Korean haegeum, and Chinese erhu meet a string quartet from the West. The concert will include the premiere of a 45-minute composition, Calling of the Whales, by composer Hee Yun Kim, which is inspired by the underwater sound of whales and timbral richness of this sextet. The production, part of AT&T Performing Arts Center's Elevator Project, will have performances on Saturday and Sunday at Wyly Theatre.

    Sunday, May 11

    Two Funny Mamas: Sherri Shepherd & Kym Whitley
