Bon Journey

Accessibility Info

Please Note: This event has expired.

Presented by The Oaks Theater at The Oaks Theater , Oakmont PA

Bon Journey brings the best of Journey and Bon Jovi to The Oaks Theater Live on Stage!

Bon Journey began in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2006.  Covering the hits of two of the most popular American rock bands in history, the band quickly established itself as one of the premier party bands in the city and found success on the national level touring a variety of east coast cities and venues.

The idea behind the band became so popular that a number of spinoffs using the same moniker began popping up all over the map - but nothing beats the original!

Bolshoi Theater in Moscow: history, tickets and tours

The Bolshoi Theater in Moscow

The Moscow Bolshoi Theater is world-famous. Ballet fans around the world are familiar with its magnificent performances of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake or Nutcracker. The theater building is located not far from the Kremlin in the heart of the Russian capital. In addition to ballet performances, there are also regular concerts and operas in the Bolshoi.

On the way to the theater you can already see the beautiful classical facade from afar. In the building itself, the chandeliers glitter above you when you walk upstairs. The walls are covered in gold and the seats are upholstered in soft red velvet. Whoever enters the main hall of the famous Bolshoi Theater for the first time will be amazed.

The current building has been standing in its traditional spot in Moscow for a good 200 years, and since 2011, the Bolshoi has been renovated it in its old glory since 2011. More than 200 dancers are on the stage at one of the famous ballet performances.

The history of the Bolshoi

As early as the beginning of the 19th century, the Russian tsars admired the performances in the Bolshoi, the hustle and bustle, the music and dancers. But even when the tsarist rule in Russia ended a hundred years ago, the theater retained its place in the center of the cultural life of the Russian metropolis. The tradition of ballet performances was maintained even in Soviet times.

At first glance, the visitor doesn’t even realize how big this theater actually is. There are a number of different buildings that make up the complex. The main house has seven floors, and there are also five floors underground. More than 3,000 employees work in the Bolshoi Theater, but only about 200 of them are ballerinas and dancers.

Where is the Bolshoi Theater located?

Just a five-minute walk from the Kremlin, right next to the Russian State Duma Parliament, the Bolshoi is located in the middle of the capital of the Russian Federation. The Moscow Metro has its own “Teatralnaya” station (Theater station) right in front of the main entrance. Arriving by underground is also recommended – there are only a few parking spaces available to guests for performances.

This map shows the location of the Bolshoi in central Moscow:

Is there a special dress code?

If you want to visit the theater, there is no need to pay attention to any specific evening wear. However, a well-groomed appearance is very important. You can also go to the theater with a pair of jeans and a sweater, but you should feel “underdressed” compared to the rest of the audience.

Men with shorts are not allowed to go to the Theater. In general, make sure that your clothes are elegant and clean. Because if you go to a performance or a concert in the Bolshoi Theater, you should know that most viewers dress up for it, because the visit is a special event for most of the guests.

In the Bolshoi Theater, as in many other public places in Russia, a lot of emphasis is placed on security. When you visit the Theater, you have to go through a security check with metal detectors. Make sure that you do not carry any sharp objects with you. If this is the case, the access will be denied. In addition, all auditoriums have a video surveillance system. Umbrellas, larger bags etc. must be left in the cloakroom.

Don’t miss the third gong!

When the break is over, all viewers are made aware of this with a gong. It is important that you are back to your seat after the third gong. If you are late, you will have to spend the next act in the upper tier. It doesn’t matter whether you have a reservation for better seats.

The Bolshoi is legendary and if you would like to experience the world-famous Theater for yourself, you first need a Russian visa . You can find out how to get this here!

Is it allowed to take photos or videos in the Bolshoi Theater?

The answer to that is clearly no! It is strictly forbidden to take videos or photos in the Bolshoi Theater. You are also not allowed to enter the room with a photo or video camera.

Are children also allowed to visit the Bolshoi Theater?

Children from 5 years of age can easily attend the day performances in the theater. However, if you want to attend an evening performance with your child, then the child must be at least 10 years old. By the way, you also have to buy an entrance ticket for children.

Where can I get tickets for the world-famous theater?

The Bolshoi Theater has a total of two stages, namely the new stage and the historic main stage. The sale of tickets for both stages begins three months before the concert. If you would like to visit the Beethoven Hall, you can purchase a ticket for a performance two months in advance. Tickets for a performance in the theater cost between 17,000 and 110,000 rubles, which is the equivalent of between 230 and 1,500 $.

You can only buy tickets for the theater with a valid identity card. You also have to show this ID when visiting the theater. It is also important to know that tickets that have already been purchased cannot be returned unless there is a change in the program.

You can buy a ticket online on the official theater website: https://russlande.de/bolshoi-theater-moskau-karten/ or at the four main ticket offices of the Theater. If you want to pre-order tickets, you can contact this email address:  [email protected]

The Kenworthy Theatre and Performing Arts Center began its life as the Crystal Theater in 1908. The Crystal Theater eventually became a car dealership where the building served as the garage.  In 1925 Milburn Kenworthy purchased, lengthened, and extensively remodeled the building. In 1928, the theater was expanded southward by twenty feet. For a period of time, it was used for silent films with the placement of a screen in front of the stage and a projection booth at the back of the balcony. The neon blade Kenworthy sign was installed in 1930, and by 1949 Kenworthy added a new terra cotta tile façade and enlarged marquee. In 1979, the stage was converted for use as a coffee house. 

Kenworthy was a huge proponent of film and theater in Moscow, Idaho. Before being a theater owner, Milburn Kenworthy worked in live theater productions throughout Canada and the United States. He even headed his own production company, the Kenworthy Players. His wife, Marjorie Duffy, was the sister of one of his leading ladies. Kenworthy left his career in theater production in 1918, convinced that movie entertainment would take its place. On March 1, 1918 Kenworthy leased the Strand Theater and purchased the theater’s equipment. After opening the Kenworthy Theater in 1926, he built the Nuart theater in 1935 just a couple of doors down. Majorie and Milburn provided patrons with an immersive atmosphere,  occasionally bringing a real horse to walk down the aisle before a western movie or when they burned incense during the showing of Salome to add an exotic touch to the experience.

The buildings that housed the Strand Theater, Kenworthy Theater, and Nuart Theater still stand today. The Strand currently houses a tattoo parlor and the Nuart is now owned by Community Christian Ministries. The Kenworthy family gifted the eponymous theater to the community in 2000, and it now serves as a multipurpose venue for plays, musicals, film, live music, and an all-around event space.

Here’s What Cyndi Lauper Must Play on Her ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour’

The singer is going out with a bang in 2024 — she’s got the concert tour of a lifetime, a new documentary and an immersive stage show.

Edna Gundersen,

Her true colors? All of them. In a career stretching 47 years, Cyndi Lauper, 70, has taken on pop, punk, dance, funk, blues, country and Broadway . And don’t forget the literal colors, from her shifting Day-Glo hair and kaleidoscopic eyeshadow palette to a vibrant, flamboyant fashion sense that would startle a peacock.

The singer-songwriter is bringing her four-octave vocal range, eccentric style and brash-tawkin’ personality to the road one last time on her “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour,” a 23-city trek that starts Oct. 18 in Montreal and wraps up Dec. 5 in Chicago . It’s her first major outing since 2016’s “Detour Tour.”

Get instant access to members-only products and hundreds of discounts, a free second membership, and a subscription to AARP the Magazine.

Lauper will be joined by special guests to be announced later, according to Live Nation. Stay tuned to AARP for updates.

The Brooklyn-born singer is also the subject of Let the Canary Sing , a new documentary streaming on Paramount+. The film traces Lauper’s career from a rebellious, struggling bar singer in Queens to global superstar, MTV darling, committed feminist and tireless activist. It’s directed by Alison Ellwood, 62, who made the music docs Laurel Canyon and The Go-Gos . The title derives from a lawsuit brought against Lauper by a former manager after she left the band Blue Angel. When the judge ruled for Lauper, he pounded his gavel and pronounced, “Let the canary sing.” Legacy Recordings has released a companion album, Let the Canary Sing , available on vinyl and in a digital expanded edition.

Note:   Paramount+ provides a discount to AARP members  and pays AARP a royalty for the use of its intellectual property.

The singer also appears in The Greatest Night in Pop , a documentary on Netflix that revisits the 1985 recording of megahit charity song “We Are the World,” and in this AARP video True Talk With Cyndi Lauper: Don't Listen to the Haters .

And she just sold a majority share of her music to Sweden’s Pophouse Entertainment Group, founded by ABBA singer Björn Ulvaeus, 79. Pophouse created ABBA Voyage , the immersive virtual concert that featured digital avatars subbing for the vocal group onstage. Lauper envisions a less glittery production that replicates New York and focuses on her upbringing with the women that influenced her most: her mother, grandmother and aunt.

But if you want to see the wacky, eclectic songbird in the flesh, the farewell tour is the best bet. Lauper has a deep well of material to draw from: her 11 studio albums, soundtrack contributions, covers and collaborations. Here are a dozen songs on our fantasy set list (and we won’t be surprised if she does a few of them).

‘True Colors’ (1986)

Impassioned vocals, a strong melody and an uplifting message about self-empowerment made this an instant classic and a gay anthem. Written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, the song was rejected by Anne Murray before being sent to Lauper.

‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ (1983)

Robert Hazard wrote this song with a randy wink from a male perspective, but Lauper flipped the tone and message, creating a lasting hit that’s both a bubblegum romp and a feminist anthem.

‘Time After Time’ (1984)

The beautiful, heartfelt ballad and vocal showcase became a Lauper signature and a ubiquitous love song deployed in movies and TV . Lauper wrote the song with Rob Hyman of the Hooters when both were having difficulties with their romantic partners.

‘I Drove All Night’ (1989)

This pining, passionate ballad, driven by Lauper’s mature, confident vocal, scored a Grammy nomination. Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly wrote the song for Roy Orbison, who recorded it in 1987, the year before he died, but his version stayed in the vault until 1992.

‘Money Changes Everything’ (1984)

Lauper pulls out the stops with a no-frills, strapping vocal on a hard rocker that decries the ways money poisons relationships. The song was originally released by Atlanta rock band the Brains and written by its front man, Tom Gray, in 1978, but Lauper’s hit eclipsed it artistically and commercially.

‘She Bop’ (1984)

The joyful, zany pop tune about female self-pleasure sparked controversy and landed on the “Filthy Fifteen” list compiled by the Parents Music Resource Center, whose efforts led to the imposition of Parental Advisory stickers on recordings.

‘All Through the Night’ (1984)

Lauper put her stamp on the Jules Shear love song, turning his folkier original into a robust, electronics-pumped vehicle that flaunted her vocal range without sacrificing the romantic ballad’s bittersweetness.

‘Sally’s Pigeons’ (1993)

Lauper, who cowrote this song in 1991 with Mary Chapin Carpenter, 66, based the tragic narrative on a childhood friend who died after having a back-alley abortion in her teens. A new version was released in 2022 after the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

‘I’m Gonna Be Strong’ (1995)

Lauper belts this wrenching ballad with gusto, drama and all the hurt the lyrics demand. She first recorded it in 1980 as a member of Blue Angel, but the tune has a longer history. Written by Barry Mann, 85, and Cynthia Weil, it was initially recorded by Frankie Laine in 1963 and became a hit when Gene Pitney released it in 1964.

‘My First Night Without You’ (1989)

The second single from the excellent but commercially disappointing A Night to Remember album barely registered on the charts, despite Lauper’s stunning, emotional performance. The powerful, heart-rending ballad deserves a proper live send-off.

‘At Last’ (2003)

Etta James lays claim to the definitive version of this Mack Gordon/Harry Warren standard that every diva aspires to summit. Lauper shines with a stripped-down, bluesy arrangement and luscious, reined-in vocals.

‘The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough’ (1985)

Hired by Steven Spielberg , 77, as the musical director for The Goonies soundtrack, Lauper cowrote the playful, charging pop-rock tune for the project, initially dubbing it “Good Enough.” Warner Bros. changed the song’s name to incorporate the film title. While the singer confessed that she never liked this hit song, she slowly added it to set lists due to fan demand.

Edna Gundersen, a regular AARP music critic, was the longtime pop critic for  USA Today .
