D.L. Hughley at Borgata
Who Is He: An actor and stand-up comedian, D.L. Hughley is best known for starring on the sitcom "The Hughleys" from 1998 to 2002. His CNN show, "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News," aired from October to March.
What To Expect: Hughley, 46, is a hilarious comedian who has enjoyed a successful career on film, stage and television. One of The Original Kings of Comedy, he's always maintained his stand-up roots. As a result, his performances are always crisp and sharp. Fans can expect an edgy, straight-from-the cuff performance from Hughley, who always manages to keep it real.
Show Info: The show starts at 9 tonight in the Music Box at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. Tickets, priced at $40 and $50, are available through ComcastTix at 800-298-4200 or www.theborgata.com
'Souvenir' in Cape May
What Is It: "Souvenir" is the regional premiere of Stephen Temperley's Drama Desk award-winning play, presented by Cape May Stage.
What To Expect: Real-life eccentric Florence Foster Jenkins fancied herself a coloratura soprano, but the exact opposite was true. Despite being called majestically awful, her concerts in the 1930s and 1940s, including a legendary appearance at Carnegie Hall, were not only sold out, but were attended by the creme de la creme of Manhattan society. Told affectionately through the eyes of her longtime accompanist Cosme McMoon, the musical comedy is a sweet, inspiring and hilarious portrait of a passionate music lover who believed what matters most is the music you hear in your head.
Show Info: "Souvenir" will be performed at 8 tonight and Saturday night at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse of the Cape May Stage, Bank and Lafayette streets, Cape May. Tickets are $35 for adults, $25 for seniors and $12.50 for students. For more information or tickets, call 609-884-1341 or visit www.capemaystage.com
Ace Enders in Vineland
Who Is He: Hammonton resident Ace Enders was the front man for indie rock band The Early November from 1999 to 2007. Now, the 27-year-old musician heads a new group called Ace Enders and a Million Different People.
What To Expect: "When I Hit the Ground" is the first CD of Ace Enders and a Million Different People that is being sold at retail locations. It was released in March on Vagrant Records. Enders is the headliner. He and his band will be playing two-thirds of their new CD during their set. They also will play The Early November songs and tunes from Enders' solo project, "I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business." There are five opening acts on the bill, including Person L, The Gay Blades, The Dangerous Summer, School Boy Humor and My Favorite Highway.
Show Info: The show starts 6 p.m. today at Hangar 84, 20 S. Sixth St., Vineland. Tickets $12.25. For more information or tickets, visit www.hangar84.com
The Snake Brothers in Somers Point
Who Are They: Based out of Millville, The Snake Brothers are: John Langston on guitar and banjo; Eric Waltman on bass; Rob Ward on mandolin, fiddle and guitar; Mark Ternosky on harmonica and guitar; and Ernie Trionfo on guitar.
What To Expect: On acoustic instruments, The Snake Brothers plays a swinging mixture of bluegrass, rock doo-wop, folk and country music. The band's most recent CD, "The Snake Brothers at Union Hall," from 2007, was its first live album and its first with Trionfo. It included versions of Chuck Berry's "Nadine" and the late Lowell George of Little Feat's "Willin'."
Show Info: A free performance by The Snake Brothers, which kicks off the summer beach concert series, lasts from 7 to 9 tonight at the William Morrow municipal beach, Higbee and Bay avenues, Somers Point. Bring a beach chair or blanket. For more information, call 609-927-2053.
Shorecast
OK, today's forecast may not sound like the ideal beach day, given that it calls for mostly cloudy skies and highs in the low 70s. But everything is relative (including beach days with your relatives), and compared to yesterday, today sounds like heaven. Weather.com shows a little slice of sun in its picture-style predictions, and it calls for just a 20 percent chance of rain - although others put it closer to 30 percent. But compared to the 100 percent rain we got yesterday - was it close to 100 inches? - even a 30 percent chance sounds good. And if you get to the beach, the ocean's nice - 67 at noon yesterday off Atlantic City. Plus, these storms may be good for something: One local surf forecast says "top beaches should see fun, clean 3- to
4-foot-waves."
