The Big Lebowski at Boulder Theater

Ethan and Joel Coen — also known as simply The Coen Brothers — have struck gold plenty of times with their fantastical characters, stunning imagery and absurdist storytelling across a slew of beloved movies, including Miller’s Crossing, Raising Arizona, The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, and O Brother Where Art Thou!, to name a few. But it’s hard to find one that’s had a stronger reverberation in the cult-classic American subculture than The Big Lebowski. The 1998 box office sleeper — grossing just $17 million domestically during its theatrical run, barely squeaking past its $15 million budget — went on to eclipse $46 million worldwide cumulatively, thanks to its elevation into true Americana cult status. Indeed, there’s an honest-to-Dude religion — Duderism — boasting more than 200,000 Dudist minsters across the globe. Relive the original magic on the big screen — it really ties the room together — March 23 at the Boulder Theater at 7:30. Tickets are $5 at bouldertheater.com.

Jeff Dunham
at 1st Bank Center

“One of my goals when performing is to make the audience forget about the fact that they’re watching a ventriloquist act, thus suspending disbelief, and enjoy the characters for who they are,” said Comedian-slash-puppet-master Jeff Dunham in an interview with the Yellow Scene in 2010. “I realized early on that the ventriloquism needed to be just a vehicle for the comedy. It couldn’t be the focus of the act. In other words, I focus on the material and the jokes to keep people laughing. The one thing I pride myself on is I’m trying to put a fresh patina on an old, tired and sad art and make it hip and fun again.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. Go see him April 4 at 1st Bank Center at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $49, www.1stbankcenter.com for more information.

RZA: Live from the 36th Chamber of Shaolin at the Paramount Theatre

As hard as it may be to believe, without Lau Kar-leung’s martial arts masterpiece film, The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, there would be no Wu-Tang Clan. It was the seminal inspiration for founding Wu-Tang member RZA and led to Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (RCA, 1993), one of the most influential albums in hip-hop history. Now, RZA pays appropriate homage to the film, which he’s re-scored in its entirety using nothing but Wu-Tang’s catalogue, including more than 50 tracks created to drive the narrative of the timelessly classic film. See it April 17 at the Paramount Theatre in Denver at 7 p.m. Tickets start at $36, available at www.axs.com.

Social Distortion at Boulder Theater
“I wanna see honest heartfelt songwriting that’s real. That’s the good stuff.” That quote was how we ended our interview with Mike Ness almost a decade ago, and if you could pick one sentence to sum up his own approach to music, that’s it. The front man for punk icons Social Distortion hasn’t let up in almost 40 years, from Mommy’s Little Monster (Time Bomb Recordings, 1983) through Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes (Epitaph, 2011), and a few solo recordings and guest appearances in between. Though there’s no material out yet, you can believe these road-weary punk vets still bring the bombast you know and love them for. At the Boulder Theater, March 29, 7 p.m., $40+, bouldertheater.com

The Funky Meters at Fox Theatre
When a musician finds a perfect complement in another — someone with whose musical conversations result in something that transcends the art of a song — the problem becomes neither of them want to stop talking. Ever. Art Neville and George Porter Jr. having been doing since the 1960s — first as The Meters, and since 1994 as The Funky Meters, after a greater lineup shift. In 2014, longtime drummer David Batiste Jr. retired and Terrence Houston joined the fold, and nary a beat was missed. All they do is tour and jam, which is reflected in a discography of exactly one album — a 2010 outing, Live At The 2010 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (MunckMix Live Recordings). But this is a ba nd you go see live anyway. At the Fox Theatre, March 23, 8 p.m., $35+, foxtheatre.com

Carrie Newcomer at Chautauqua Auditorium
There’s probably going to be a time when Carrie Newcomer’s name becomes ironic — if her sound’s any indication, the maturity in her voice and songwriting belies the idea that she might have just appeared out of the ether. Indeed, the Indiana-bred singer/songwriter’s been around for decades, with almost 20 albums under her belt, several of which were packaged with collections of poems and essays. Her latest outing, The Beautiful Not Yet (Available Light Records, 2016), is a roots-influenced effort with banjoist Jayme Stone replete with lush string arrangements and lilting melodies. In short, she’s a guaranteed hit in BoCo. See her at Chautauqua Auditorium April 8 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 at chautauqua.com.

A Perfect Circle at First Bank Center
As side projects go, you’d be hard pressed to find one as powerful and popular as Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan’s moonlighting gig with former Tool and Fishbone guitar tech Billy Howerdel and ex-Vandals drummer Josh Freese. A Perfect Circle’s been around since their first gig at the Viper Room in L.A. in 1999, dropping four fantastic albums, including 2013’s Stone & Echo: Recorded Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Junketboy Records), proving there’s more than enough room for multiple art-metal acts with Keenan at the helm in this world. Now on tour for the first time in six years — sans new album — A Perfect Circle’s penchant for theatrics and spectacle will certainly deliver the shot in the arm fans are clamoring for. At First Bank Center (all ages), April 17, 8 p.m., $39.50+, 1stbankcenter.com.

Month of Photography Exhibitions in Denver
March is the Month of Photography in Denver, so it’s the perfect time to explore all the incredible photography galleries around you.

Blood Privilege at Theatre Company of Lafayette
The Theatre Company of Lafayette is hard at work presenting an as-yet unpublished play by former Boulder resident Don Fried Blood Privilege. This work, set in 16th Century Hungary, is about Elizabeth Bathory, known as the Blood Countess. According to legends, Bathory was one of the most renowned serial killers of all time, and this production explores her story, beginning with childhood and following through to the King’s court in which she served. With themes covering everything from feminism to political power to sexuality and morality, there is a lot here to consider, and it should be a fascinating evening of original theater. Blood Privilege runs through March 25 with tickets ranging from $10-$16. The Theatre Company of Lafayette performs at the historic Mary Miller Theater at 300 E. Simpson Street in Lafayette, (720) 209-2154, tclstage.org
