Thursday, February 1

Vitamin String Quartet

Vitamin String Quartet

MUSIC: VITAMIN STRING QUARTET So-called genre-benders have nothing on Vitamin String Quartet. In the last 20 years, the Los Angeles-based group has become the secret, classical sauce of TV and film soundtracks, reshaping famous pop, rock, rap and metal music into lively, string-oriented arrangements that could rival the original hits. The award-winning ensemble has a catalog of more than 300 releases and has had its covers featured on Shameless, Modern Family and, most recently, Netflix’s Bridgerton. Reader, we can assure you you’ve never heard Cardi B’s hit single “WAP” sound this tasteful. VSQ adds its own unique flourish to that song and other breakout tracks like Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” and Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” throughout the seasons. Don’t miss the chance to hear those, and many more from Bridgerton’s saucy scenes at the Smith Center. 7 p.m., Myron’s, $39-$59, thesmithcenter.com. –Amber Sampson

MISC: FILM: DONNIE DARKO When Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko was released in autumn 2001, friends tried to convince me that the sci-fi thriller was a philosophical work. I didn’t quite agree with that take (and I bet that if I asked those same friends what they remember about Darko today, they’d all say the same exact thing: “Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion”), but I did think that Darko was, and still is, a first-class example of creepy speculative fiction—one that’s uniquely well-suited to the Beverly Theater’s “After Dark” series. Its soundtrack of 1980s alternative hits will sound great on the Bev’s sound system; the theater’s great projector will do justice to the ghoulish details of Frank’s bunny mask; and its smart, multilayered performances, especially those of Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone and Patrick Swayze, have always belonged in an arthouse. Donnie’s coming home. 10 p.m., $10, Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter

Add that to the Pulitzer writer Susan-Lori Parks won in 2002, and you know Vegas Theatre Company has some quality material for a riveting show. It’s a tale of two brothers navigating identity, relationships, power and the pursuit of the American dream. Stars Jason Nious and Jamey Clay Brown bring “a depth and authenticity to their roles that will undoubtedly captivate and challenge our audiences,” said director Tom W. Jones. Emotional performances and an impactful story are guaranteed to leave an impression. Thru 2/24, days and times vary, $40, theatre.vegas. –Shannon Miller
