New Year — New Shows!
As 2023 becomes 2024, the Majestic and Empire Theatres are revealing an exciting lineup of one-night only, must-see events, setting the stage for an entertaining welcome to the New Year. Among the highlights are the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular, the 35th Anniversary of Batman Live in Concert and Mania: The ABBA Tribute.
Key Highlights of the New Year (January-February 1, 2024) – 1-Night Only Events:
Jim Breuer Survival with Laughter Tour
Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024
7:30 p.m. | Doors open 6:30 p.m.
Charline McCombs Empire Theatre
Tickets starting at $34.50
Not long after Jim Breuer did his first official standup gig in Clearwater, Florida in 1989, industry folks began asking him, “What’s your point of view?” “I don’t know…” He searched for a meaningful response to a ridiculous question. “To make people laugh?”
The freewheeling, New York-bred comic storyteller – who made the list of Comedy Central’s “100 Greatest Standups of All Time” – is hotter than ever, a global touring sensation and regular presence on radio and television whose rabid audience, he’s thrilled to note, is filled with “lifetimers.” Once folks see him live, they’re hooked. Breuer estimates that 78% of his fans have seen him “five, six, seven” times. It’s becoming a family thing, with parents even bringing young teens to see the family man and father of three daughters, all providing genius “dad” material for his sets. Having evolved both personally and professionally since the beginning, Breuer’s pleased to say he’s been F-word free for ten years and counting.
Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular
Friday, Jan. 12, 2024
8:00 p.m. | Doors open 7:00 p.m.
Majestic Theatre
Tickets starting at $19
Paramount’s Laser Spectacular is the smash hit multi-media laser and light show featuring the Original Master Recordings of Pink Floyd.
Paramount’s Laser Spectacular has become a cult classic, presenting the music of Pink Floyd as you’ve never seen before. The Laser Spectacular is the longest-running touring theater show in history, with the first presentation taking place in 1986.
“Pink Floyd’s music is theatrical and visual,” says Paramount’s producer Steve Monistere. “You can imagine images when you listen to Pink Floyd’s music, and with no visual stimuli, there is still a show in your mind.” Imagine using lasers, lighting, video, and other special effects to project what your mind is “seeing.” That is why people love this show so much. It excites their visual, audio, and creative senses.”
The Laser Spectacular is a night of great music, fantastic visuals, and audience participation of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Nowadays, you will see Classic Rockers along with a new generation of fans! So, parents, score “cool points” with your teenagers and bring them along!”

Late Nite Catechism is an uproariously funny play that takes the audience back to their youth. The irrepressible Sister teaches class to a roomful of “students.” Throughout the course of the class the benevolent instructor rewards the “students” for correct answers with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and other nifty prizes. Naughty students may well find themselves on stage sitting in a corner reflecting their actions. However, even the most reluctant “students” will be clamoring to get into this Sister’s class.
The New York Times calls Late Nite Catechism “interactive theater at its best and full of laughs!”
