Singing in the rain

And while you do, get ready to tap your toes and hum along. Musical: Singin' in the Rain is in the city – and while we may not have the raindrops, we do have the musical. This on-stage adaptation has all the golden tunes - Good Morning, Make 'em Laugh and Moses Supposes. Getting yourself a ticket? Prepare yourself – there are live rain showers on stage and water splashes on the front rows….so you can really sing in the rain?

Put your hands up in the air…

Eraserheads

It’s time for the real Slim Shady to please stand up and show us how it’s done. The 15-time Grammy winner Eminem is coming to Abu Dhabi as part of the Yasalam After-Race Concerts during Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Basically, after you see all the zip and zoom on the track all day, you can bounce along to the cool tracks Eminem’s going to spit out. Music on your mind – and hopefully, on the list – include Lose Yourself, The Real Slim Shady, and Rap God. The only caveat… you need to be Abu Dhabi GP ticket holders to see this show. Hurry and get yours.

From Dh825. Sat, Dec 7, 6pm onwards. Etihad Park.
