There are two “Cinderella” stories connected with the Moscow Festival Ballet’s performance Saturday as part of the Charles Vanda Master Series at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Gotta dance! Good thing, too, because dancing’s definitely what puts the flash in “Flashdance: The Musical,” which continues through Sunday at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts. Yet another who-needs-it musical based on a past movie hit, at least “Flashdance” has a built-in reason to sing and dance.
He’s the ultimate Renaissance Man. Almost 500 years after his death, Leonardo da Vinci remains an instantly recognizable artist. (Three words: the “Mona Lisa.” Three more: “The Last Supper.”)

The world premiere of William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” — co-adapted and directed by Las Vegas’ own Teller — will sail on a week longer than planned at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts. It will play April 6-20 in a 500-seat, climate-controlled tent in the center’s Symphony Park.
You know the feeling. At least if you’re planning to catch “Flashdance: The Musical,” which checks into The Smith Center on Tuesday for an eight-performance run.
More than 30 characters populate “Harriet’s Return: Based Upon the Legendary Life of Harriet Tubman.” But only one performer will bring them all to life Friday morning at the West Las Vegas Library Theatre: Karen Jones Meadows.
The Contemporary Arts Center recently moved from its longtime location in The Arts Factory, 107 E. Charleston Blvd., to a space in Alios, a lighting company at 1217 S. Main St. The gallery has long been known for cutting-edge, challenging art, but at age 25, the CAC is adding the pitter-patter of little feet.
