Fri-Sun, 5/3-5 - Riverdance @ Fox Theatre - Riverdance — you know, that Irish dancing phenomenon with the fancy footwork — is celebrating its 20th year. The show hasn’t toured the U.S. in four years, meaning we’re pretty lucky to be one of the stops on this year’s circuit, which boasts new costumes, new lighting, and new projections. Is this Riverdance on steroids? Could be, there’s only one way to find out. Showtimes vary; 2211 Woodward Ave., Detroit; olympiaentertainment.com; tickets are $25-$75.

Saturday, April 30 - The Naked Magic Show @ Royal Oak Music Theatre - We’re not really sure why Australia is fascinated with live shows and nudity (i.e. Thunder Down Under and those dudes who did penis tricks), but we are definitely not mad about it. These two Australian babes not only entertain you with their fun magic tricks, but you also get to stare at their gorgeous naked bodies. It’s a true two-for-one deal. Why haven’t magic shows been naked all the time? We’re not sure, but we’re happy to see these guys doing it! Doors open at 7 p.m.; 318 W. Fourth St., Royal Oak; 248-399-2980; romtlive.com; tickets are $35-$45; 18 and older only.
