SATURDAY, NOV. 3 Think you're high maintenance? Each member of the Blue Man Group needs an hour before each show to primp, that is, cover their faces with grease paint.

With music, comedy, and multimedia theatrics, these guys are sure to come up with another smash hit that will leave audiences feeling anything but blue. 8 p.m. $55-$85.

SATURDAY, NOV. 3 So, being women, Beyoncé and Crew AKA Destiny's Child had a slew of hits based on essentially (and I hate to say this) girl power. Women have long been regarded as the weaker sex; however, when you focus on the size of their workload as it pertains to physical size – actually they're stronger. But, even "Superwoman" needs to take a break, step back and recharge her batteries. That's where the "Step Back & Leap Further!" Workshop & Women's Retreat comes into play. Empowerment Spa has created a safe overnight haven for women to "retreat, release, and rebound." It's open to any woman who needs a rest and wants to rediscover the bonds of sisterhood. 11 a.m. Charlotte, N.C. 615-826-9221. www.stepbackleapfurther.com.
