Remember in the early 2000s when everyone the world over was utterly charmed by the French movie "Amelie"? Sure, Audrey Tautou’s quirky charisma could melt the heart of the biggest curmudgeon, but a big part of the film’s appeal has to be chalked up to Yann Tiersen’s whimsically romantic score. Tiersen was already a high-charting crossover artist, known for playing everything from electric guitar to toy piano and bicycle wheels on his albums, but "Amelie" made him an international favorite. He’s performed at some of the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals, drawing comparisons to everyone from Chopin to Philip Glass. His new album, "ALL", incorporates field records from California’s redwood forests to Berlin’s Tempelhof airport to explore our connection to nature. See this acclaimed composer-musician live in concert when he comes to Los Angeles at the Greek. [less-]

Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, "Sweat" is the scorching new play from Lynn Nottage ("Ruined") that "The New York Times" called "keenly observed and surprisingly funny ... (it) throbs with heartfelt life." In the industrial town of Reading, Pennsylvania, a group of friends spend their days on the factory floor and their nights sharing drinks, secrets and laughs.

Based on Nottage's extensive research and interviews with residents of Reading and now arriving at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre after a heralded Broadway run, "Sweat" is a searing reflection of America's economic decline.
