Packers-49ers divisional playoff game bumps some but not all Saturday night events
GREEN BAY - The entertainment calendar in January is lighter than any other month, but the Green Bay Packers' divisional round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers at 7:15 p.m. Saturday still means a couple of local events are getting shuffled around, while others are carrying on as scheduled.
Gamblers hockey game moves to the afternoon
The Green Bay Gamblers vs. Youngstown Phantoms game originally scheduled for 6:05 p.m. Saturday at the Resch Center in Ashwaubenon has been moved up to 3 p.m.
The Hispanic Heritage Night events planned around the game will go on, including a pregame Latin market, entertainment and dancers and a winter hat and jacket collection. A postgame concert by Milwaukee band Klan 414 in the adjoining Resch Expo has been canceled.
Tickets are $13 to $40, and are available at ticketstaronline.com and by calling 800-895-0071.
Ashwaubenon PAC show gets pushed to 2025
Ticket holders who were looking forward to a Saturday night of Elvis Presley, Adele, Neil Diamond and Reba McEntire hits at the Ashwaubenon Performing Arts Center will have to wait another year. "Frank's Tribute and the All-Star Band," featuring local performers, has been rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 25, 2025.
Tickets will be honored at the new date. For those who can't make the rescheduled show, refunds will be available until Feb. 16 through Ticket Star. Paper tickets must be brought to the Resch Center box office or mailed to: Ticket Star, 820 Armed Forces Drive, Green Bay, WI 54304. Call 920-494-3401 with further questions.
For Broadway's Rock of Ages Band, show must go on
There's no stopping the '80s rock of Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister. A tour stop by Broadway's Rock of Ages Band, featuring musicians from the original cast of the Broadway production of "Rock of Ages," will go on as scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Meyer Theatre in Green Bay. Tickets are $42 to $62 at ticketstaronline.com.
Red Star Express at Cup O Joy is still a go
Wisconsin bluegrass band Red Star Express is still on for a 7:30 p.m. show Saturday at Cup O Joy in Green Bay. The venue had to cancel a performance during last weekend's blizzard and didn't want to have to do it again this weekend, said director Jan Oettinger. A lot of work goes into hosting each show, she said.
Doors open at 6:45 p.m. There is no cover charge, but donations are accepted. For information on paid reserved seats and early bird pass tickets, visit cupojoy.com.
ComedyCity sticking with its regular Saturday shows
ComedyCity didn't see a noticeable dip in attendance for its shows on New Year's Eve when the Packers played the Minnesota Vikings, so the De Pere-based improv troupe is going to stick with its regular Saturday schedule of a family fun show at 6:30 p.m. and a grown-up show at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $7.50 to $10 for the early show and $10 to $15 for the late show at comedycity.net.
