The Broadway touring production of & Juliet asks what happens if Juliet simply doesn't die, and answers mostly in Max Martin pop hits spanning four decades of radio history. Popejoy...

The Broadway touring production of & Juliet, the jukebox musical built around pop hits from Max Martin's catalog, comes to Popejoy for one or a handful of nights in early November 2026. Popejoy is a proper theater with good sightlines from almost every seat, but parking around UNM on a Friday or Saturday fills fast,...

CAIN, the sibling trio known for radio-friendly Christian pop with actual worship intent behind it, plays Kiva Auditorium with opener bodie, a rising name in the faith-based singer-songwriter space.

Popejoy is a proper sit-down theater with good sightlines from most of the house, so if you have the option, the mezzanine center...

The UNM Robb Musical Trust's annual memorial concert honors John Donald Robb Jr. with an evening of violin-focused works at South Broadway Cultural Center, a neighborhood arts space that punches well above its square footage. Robb spent decades collecting New Mexican folk music before becoming dean of UNM's music school, so this concert carries real...
