HEAVEN ON EARTH

Witness thousands of years of history live on stage as the New York-based dance phenomenon Shen Yun (refer to listing, page 16) visits the Boch Center’s Wang Theatre April 11–19 to dazzle audiences with the sights and sounds of classical Chinese dance accompanied by original compositions played by a live orchestra. Shen Yun’s acclaimed show, widely hailed since its debut more than a decade ago, portrays stories from ancient China up through the current day, presenting legendary tales of heroes and gods, along with historical scenarios, from throughout the ages, all danced by skilled artists in eye-popping costumes set against visually stunning, animated digital backdrops. Shen Yun—a combination of the Chinese words for “divine” and “rhythm” that means “the beauty of heavenly beings dancing”—translates to one magical night of music and movement.

THE BOYS ARE BACK

Now that local baseball fans have had the offseason and spring training to recover from the loss of AllStar outfielder Mookie B tts to the Los Angeles Dodgers, they can look forward with hope to a new season of watching the Boston Red Sox (refer to listing, page 19) once again take the field t beloved, historic Fenway Park, beginning with a tilt against the Chicago White Sox on April 2. Despite last season’s disappointing finish and the t ade sending Betts out West, there’s still reason for optimism, as favorites like ace pitcher Chris Sale, slugger J.D. Martinez and shortstop stalwart Xander Bogaerts return to help lead the charge toward another playoff run ome the fall.

THE BIG EASY IN BEANTOWN

A taste of the Crescent City recently took the Theatre District by storm when French Quarter (refer to listing, page 59) made its debut in late February. Brought to us by the team behind nearby eateries Back Deck and Fajitas & ’Ritas and named for the iconic New Orleans district, French Quarter offers authentic takes on such Creole and Cajun classics as po’ boys, fried catfish, gumb , jambalaya and crawfish, along with famed Big Easy cocktails like the Hurricane and Sazerac and beers from Abita. Ensconced between the Emerson Paramount Center and Citizens Bank Opera House and decorated with a Bourbon Street flai , French Quarter is destined to be a favorite stopover for those seeking a savory bit of Southern hospitality without boarding a plane.

PATRIOT GAMES

Marathon Monday may be a decades-old tradition in these parts, yet it coincides with a slightly older, less-heralded observance that marks the beginning of the American Revolution: Patriots’ Day. Get a taste of the events that surrounded the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 at Minute Man National Historical Park (refer to listing, page 48), a collection of preserved sites where those skirmishes initially took place. Officially obse ed on April 20 this year, Patriots’ Day has nevertheless inspired a slew of events at or near the park beginning April 11, when several reenactments and fi e and drum music are performed. April 20 sees early-morning reenactments in both Lexington and Concord, while the tributes continue on April 25 at the park’s Hartwell Tavern in Lincoln with a special presentation dealing with the consequences of the war on the community.

LOOKING EAST

One of the region’s biggest annual celebrations of Japanese pop culture, Anime Boston (refer to listing, page 18) returns to the Back Bay’s Hynes Convention Center April 10–12. For fans of anime (animation) and manga (comics), as well as video games, this colorful gathering offers costume, dance, karaoke, music video and gaming contests; formal and semi-formal balls; live game shows; a manga library; lively panels led by experts on a variety of convention-related subjects; and appearances by the creative talents behind such favorite shows as “Sailor Moon,” “One-Punch Man,” “Transformers: Prime Wars” and more. Longtime aficionados and n wcomers alike should find something to get them (ahem) animated. —Scott Roberto MIDDLE PHOTO: MASS. OFFICE OF TRAVEL & TOURISM; BOTTOM PHOTO: HALLS KYLE BROWN

NEIGHBORHOODS

Trinity Church and the John Hancock Tower

Massachusetts State House

Beacon Hill MAP PAGE 32 | F10 Strolling along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve traveled back in time. Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has borne witness to much of the city’s storied past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charming hotels. Locals descend ON THE the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street Green Line to Park St. Red Line to Park St., has to offer, adding to Charles St. the feeling of smallBlue Line to Bowdoin town charm. 38
