The 10 Best Shows to Attend in DFW This Spring
March 14: Chris Stapleton’s All-American Roadshow at Globe Life Field
What better way to officially open the Texas Rangers’ new stadium than to welcome Chris Stapleton and some of his best buddies? Special guests include Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson and Yola. Let’s hope the venue’s inaugural event is smooth as Tennessee whiskey.
March 21: Dan + Shay at American Airlines Center
If you don’t like the smooth sounds of these two middle-aged men singing their hearts out, then we suggest you do some serious soul searching. And whether they sing “Tequila” first or last, we can’t wait to celebrate this concert with a margarita.
April 4: Michael Bublé At Dickies Arena, Fort Worth
This beautiful new entertainment venue is quite impressive (the 14,000-seater features epic chandeliers, leather work and terrazzo tile throughout), and because of that, it’s bringing in some pretty large names, this one being one of our favorites. Do you think if we say pretty please he’ll sing with a cowboy hat on? No? Maybe? OK, well, it never hurts to ask.
April 6 To 18:Mean GirlsAt Music Hall At Fair Park
Suddenly, women all around Dallas are breathing a sigh of relief that they didn’t waste their one weekend away from the husband and kids on a trip to New York to see this Broadway number, based on Tiny Fey’s 2004 movie about a teen’s quest to overthrow the, well, mean girls at her new high school. I see an epic girls’ night in our future.
April 14 To 19: Dallas Summer Musicals:RentAt Music Hall At Fair Park
You don’t even have to wait 525,600 minutes to check out this killer production. And whether you’ve seen it once, twice or 30 times, it is always guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye. You have only a handful of days to catch this show, so don’t delay in grabbing those orchestra seats.

The year is 1945 and the mood is toe-tapping tunes and jaw-dropping dance moves. And in the age of musical talent shows, there is no better time to enjoy the tale of Donny Novitski, who enters a national competition to be the nation’s next great musical star.
