SAVE THE DATE: NOW to February 19- DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL
Did you see the off-Broadway hit "Menopause the Musical"? If you liked it, have some more laughs by the same creator, Mark
Schwartz, a veteran theater producer and twice divorced himself. He was looking for another subject that would appeal to the same demographic. This play opens with a frumpy, middle-aged divorcee comforting her broken heart with a pint of "Chubby Hubby" ice cream. By the play's conclusion, she is transformed into a svelte, liberated woman clinking mimosa glasses and singing atop a giant cake "no longer a wife now, is my favorite part of life now."
You'll recognize the tunes and you'll come out uplifted. Don't miss it!
For tickets: Kravis Center 561-832-7469 or Kravis.org

New movie theater coming to Mizner Park!
MOVIES MOVING INTO MIZNER ~
Plans for an upscale iPic Theater with a bar and restaurant were presented at the city's Dec. 8 Planning & Zoning Board meeting. The owner hopes to have the new movie house open by May, after the long-vacant space at the south end of Mizner Park is totally redesigned. The former Sunrise Cinemas location closed last winter, and an eviction lawsuit was filed in March.
The new movie house will be reconfigured with only 40 to 60 seats in each of eight spaces. The luxury section has push-button recliners and allows food service 20 minutes into the feature. The lower-priced seats up front are leather, and movie goers can buy food there and bring it in while they watch. The box office will move inside, but patrons can also buy tickets and pick their seats in advance online.
iPic Entertainment president and CEO Hamid Hashemi presented the site plan as part of his request for 1,932 more square feet, approved unanimously. A new facade will alert patrons it's a cinema, instead of the blank wall there now, he pointed out.
The former Muvico founder and CEO formed iPic in 2007. The company now has eight locations in Arizona, California, Illinois, Washington, Wisconsin and Texas.

AWESOME THINGS TO DO
IN MIAMI?
HERE ARE 3 I'LL BET YOU'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE!
Good for visitors coming into town when you're being thrust into the role of tour guide?
1. "You've heard of swimming with dolphins, now how about biking with gators?" Try two-wheeling the Everglades' Shark Valley for a "sporty, authentic and jaw-dropping" adventure. Just be warned: the gator's winsome smile might actually appear "right up on the trail!" Or get a bite of the action on Buffalo Tiger's Airboat Tour of Florida's wetlands. The fact that the alligators were "close enough to touch" makes this perfect for visiting out-of-town guests. And with tickets starting at $20, it ain't going to cost you an arm and a leg!
2. go 'camera crazy' at Coral Castle -One visitor said: "This astounding and mysterious coral marvel was built by a lovesick man" for his estranged fiancée. What's bonkers is that he chiseled Miami's version of Stonehenge "by moonlight, without modern equipment!" The Venetian Pool is Coral Gables' claim to rock stardom. With waterfalls, cave-like grottos and its signature bridge, you'll feel removed from civilization! To experience nature's finest flora, visit the Fairchild Garden. Or to a lesser-known retreat that most people in Miami have no idea even exists: The Kampong is the former abode of famed horticulturalist David Fairchild and is "worth the visit for the serenity and exotic greenery."
3. Make Miami's enviable bay your next port of call and take a Thriller of a speed boat ride: One visitor said: "The worth-every-penny moment came when we jumped the wake of another boat . I felt like we were in an action movie!" And if the only running you're doing is into Miami's arms, South Pointe Park is picturesque. One visitor said: "Once you've had your fill of ogling the beautiful boats, swing over to Joe's Take Away for a few claws to polish off on the grass outside. It's a little slice of utopia!"
