Trans-Siberian Orchestra to return for Nov. 16 show

The rock-opera concert experience of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra will return to the Show Me Center this year with a show titled "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 16. Last year the group rocked Cape Girardeau with its electrified Christmas fare, drawing a crowd of about 4,300 and garnering rave reviews from audience members. TSO's rock opera sounds bring together classical orchestra with the guitar, drum and bass of a hard rock band. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Show Me Center box office and ticket outlets at Schnucks in Cape Girardeau and P-Mac Music in Cape Girardeau, Carbondale, Ill., and Paducah, Ky. For additional information, call 651-5000 or visit www.showmecenter.biz. The show is sponsored by The Southeast Missourian, KFVS12 and the Boys and Girls Club of Cape Girardeau. One dollar of every ticket sale will go to the Boys and Girls Club.
