Broadway & An Evening of Yiddish Classics - An Eclectic Mix of Performances This January In Aventura

It's a Rent reunion as the 2025 Broadway Concert Series presented by the City of Aventura begins with Tony Award® nominee Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp on Sunday, January 19 at 7 p.m. The duo is performing their new show while celebrating 30 years of friendship in an unforgettable and celebratory night of music, stories and fun. They will deliver songs from Rent and various projects throughout their careers as well as music that has influenced their lives. Since originating the role of Roger in Rent, Pascal has appeared in leading roles in the Broadway hits Aida, Memphis, Something Rotten! and Disaster! Rapp, who originated the role of Mark in Rent, just completed an acclaimed Off-Broadway run of his original show Without You and is known for starring in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and If/Then. A post-show meet and greet experience may be added to any ticket.

Yitzhak Fried delivers another evening of Yiddish classics that takes audiences back to a world long gone and yet forever around. Witness Forever Yiddish 2 - More Songs from the Shtetl on Thursday, January 23 at 7:30 p.m. Born and raised in post-war Austria, Yitzhak internalized the Yiddish language and melodies that he grew up with in his parents' home. Fried leads audiences on an emotional voyage through songs and stories – sad and happy – and of course with a bissele humor. He offers more Yiddish classics that speak to the soul accompanied by acclaimed pianist Alan Mason, who has played on stages worldwide. Proceeds of this evening will go to support Leket Israel, the leading food rescue organization in Israel.

Don’t miss the opportunity see this hilarious spoof when The City of Aventura presents Spamilton: An American Parody, on Friday, January 24 at 8 p.m.; Saturday January 25 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, January 26 at 2 p.m. Spamilton was regarded by The New York Times as, “smart, silly and convulsively funny!" Countless film and stage stars drop by to add to the fun and mayhem in this fictious story of a very famous writer-director-star trying to save Broadway from mediocrity and oblivion. Along the way, this sharp and loveable genius not only takes aim at Broadway's current mega-hit but manages to make hysterical mincemeat out of many classic and new Broadway shows. This musical romp offers a crash course in favorite Broadway blockbusters and features celebrity satires and pop culture zingers accompanied by hip-hop on the piano. The Huffington Post reported of this multi-generational delight that "You don't have to see Hamilton to have side-splitting fun at Spamilton." This event contains adult language or content.

Don’t miss the Tal Cohen Trio on Thursday, January 30 at 8 p.m. presented by Yi Love Jewish. Grammy award-winning jazz pianist, Tal Cohen, unique style infuses jazz with traditional Middle Eastern rhythms, has performed around the world with jazz greats such as Terence Blanchard, Greg Osby, Ignacio Berroa and Joe Lovano.

Jazz Festival, and NS Sopot Jazz Festival in Poland. A winner of the Barry Harris national piano competition at the Detroit Jazz Festival and the Freedom Jazz Fellowship in his native Australia, Tal’s recent album, ‘Gentle Giants,’ received rave reviews and 4-stars from DownBeat Magazine.
