Halloween is almost upon, so all the sexy ghosts and goblins are partying like crazy in NOLA.  Here are just a few fun scares to celebrate this week.  

Tuesday, October 16, 2017

 

 

Book Launch Party: Historic New Orleans Collection; 533 Royal Street; 6 – 8 p.m.

Join author John Magill and photographer Margot Landen at book signing for The Incomparable Magazine Street (River Road Press, 2017) at The Historic New Orleans Collection on Tuesday, October 17, at 6 p.m.

New Orleans’s Magazine Street has undergone remarkable changes over its long history. From an overlooked district of mostly unassuming residences and businesses, it has evolved into one of the country’s most dynamic and attractive business thoroughfares. It is also one of the most important dining and drinking streets in town. Yet even with the transformation the street has seen, the soul of Magazine retains its residential charm.

In The Incomparable Magazine Street, Magill, a former THNOC historian, and photographer Landen trace the history and culture of the road that curves between St. Charles Avenue and the river. They touch on Magazine’s place in the urban growth of the Crescent City and highlight what it has become: an enchanting combination of both elegance and the down-to-earth.

Magill and Landen will discuss the book and be available to sign copies, which will be available at The Shop at The Collection for $45.
Admission is free, but reservations are encouraged. To register, email wrc@hnoc.org or call (504) 523-4662.

Escape to Margaritaville; Saenger Theatre; 1111 Canal Street

More than a musical, ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE is a way of life and will kick-off the sensational 2017 – 2018 season in October. The new musical, featuring both original work as well as the most-loved songs of legendary singer-songwriter-author Jimmy Buffett, will feature an original story by co-book writers Greg Garcia (“My Name is Earl”) and Mike O’Malley (“Survivor’s Remorse” and “Shameless”), and will be directed by two-time Tony Award® nominee Christopher Ashley.

 

ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE will launch in New Orleans as the pre-Broadway premiere before visiting key cities around the country on its road to Broadway – further emphasizing Jimmy Buffett’s adoration for the Big Easy. As a teenager, Buffett frequented the French Quarter, playing the guitar on a street corner singing for change. In the late 60’s, Buffett formed a folk trio, the Upstairs Alliance, and headlined The Bayou Room on Bourbon Street the same summer that the New Orleans Saints came to town. He attended the first New Orleans Saints game at Tulane Stadium in 1967, solidifying his position as an eternal Saints fan.

Imagine a place where the sun is hot, the ocean’s warm, and the drinks are as cold as they are plentiful. Welcome to Margaritaville, the island paradise where city folk get away from it all and the locals get into the kind of trouble you can almost always sweet talk your way out of.  This new musical is the story of a part-time bartender, part-time singer, and full-time charmer named Tully who thinks he’s got life all figured out. Until a beautiful career-minded tourist steals his heart and makes him question everything.  For tickets, call (504) 525-1052 or go to http://saengertheatre.box-officetickets.com
