Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland, and, of course, Sting himself will play Scottrade at 7:30 p.m. Monday. The Police bring a blend of rock, jazz, reggae and punk that's made them rock legends since their inception in 1977. Among their numerous achievements are is an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, six Grammys and five No. 1 singles. This highly-anticipated international tour is the first for the British threesome since 1984. Tickets are being sold at $50, $90 and $200 each on www.ticketmaster.com and at Ticketmaster outlets.
Before John Travolta donned the black leather greaser outfit of the T Birds, and in true bad-boy fashion wooed innocent Olivia Newton-John, there was the musical. And, that musical contained slightly more language and adult situations, with overtones of gang violence. That's the 1972 musical production of "Grease" musical production that won seven Tony awards, and the musical currently running at the Muny in St. Louis Forrest Park. Billed as the "slickest musical of the summer," "Grease" runs nightly at 8:15 p.m. through Tuesday. Ticket prices range from $9 terrace seats to $62 center box seats, and are available by calling the Muni at 314-534-1111 or online at www.metrotix.com.
In a short period of time, the New Zealand-born country musician Keith Urban has amassed quite a number of laurels. When Urban was 15, he quit school and began a life as a traveling musician. When he was 23, he signed with EMI Australia and had his first album produced. Chalk up seven No. 1 hit singles, two platinum records, one triple platinum record, one quadruple platinum record and numerous other awards, and it's not hard to see what all the commotion is about. Urban plays 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Scottrade center. Tickets are available for $42.50 and $52.50 each, available on www.ticketmaster.com and at Ticketmaster outlets.
Celebrate St. Louis returns for 2007 with free music in downtown St. Louis. Events begin 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, with Lifehouse and Goo Goo Dolls. Everlife and Cyndi Lauper play Wednesday, Celebrate St. Louis continues until August 4, with Los Lonely Boys, G. Love & Special Sauce, Pete Yorn, and John Michael Montgomery scheduled to play during the festival. For more information, visit www.celebratestlouis.org.
More than 140 works of bronze, porcelain and sliver were shipped from France to accommodate the "Napoleon: Symbols of Power" exhibit featured at the St. Louis Art Museum in Forest Park. Interesting still is the fact that many of the pieces have never parted French soil, and the display is part of a limited engagement that will tour only to Boston before heading back to France. Rejecting the "frivolity and decadence" of the French monarchy, the art created during Napoleon's rule took after an imperial Roman design. The exhibit is $10 for the general public, $8 for students and seniors and free on Fridays. Call 314-721-0072 or visit www.slam.org for more information.
