MISC: FORBIDDEN ZONE & TIPPY ELVIS The Double Down Saloon is offering you a choice: Either you can go see the musical fantasy film about Elvis that’s now in theaters, or you can head to this classic Vegas punk dive to watch a musical fantasy film and a local band with “Elvis” in its name. The movie is Forbidden Zone, a 1982 cult favorite from director Richard Elfman starring Herve Villechaize and featuring music from Elfman’s brother Danny. The band is local goof-rock outfit Tippy Elvis, whose core members—keyboardist Sean Jones, guitarist Brian Weiss, “punk rock tuba” player Ginger Bruner and attorney Dayvid Figler—are longtime citizens of both the Double Down and the surrealist world from which films like Forbidden Zone are too rarely birthed. Put another way: If you can’t enjoy a weird-ass movie starring the dude from Fantasy Island and a band whose songs feature surfing poets and evil mayonnaise, Elvis is in theaters now. But the Double Down’s bizarre double bill won’t ever appear on streaming services. 9 p.m., free, Double Down Saloon, 725-791-5755. –Geoff Carter

MISC: OLEANNA At the 1992 premier of David Mamet’s Oleanna, audience members became unsettled and enraged at the play, which arrived on the heels of Anita Hill’s testimony against then-Supreme Court Justice nominee Clarence Thomas. It centers around college professor John (played by Erik Amblad in Majestic Repertory’s production) and student Carol (Venus Cobb), who files a sexual harassment complaint after an initial meeting with John. With his tenure in jeopardy and Carol’s case mounting, the conflict escalates to violence. Don’t expect Majestic to shy away from the play’s “controversial” legacy, especially with added context from the modern #MeToo movement. A portion of ticket proceeds will go to Gender Justice Nevada. Thru 7/24; Thursday-Saturday, 8 p.m.; Sunday, 5 p.m., $35, Majestic Repertory Theatre, majesticrepertory.com. –Shannon Miller

MUSIC: MACHINE GUN KELLY WITH AVRIL LAVIGNE & WILLOW SMITH Pop-punk’s recent return to the mainstream probably wasn’t on anyone’s 2021-2022 bingo card, but we’ll happily accept the unexpected renaissance. As of late, rapper Machine Gun Kelly has been in the genre’s driving seat, initially garnering praise for his first pop-punk entry, Tickets to My Downfall, in 2020, and again with follow-up Mainstream Sellout in March. But he’s not the only star handing love out to the genre. Willow Smith has recently become a pop-punk prodigy in her own right with her raw-powered LP Lately, I Feel Everything, featuring collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker. Willow also recently teamed up with Kelly for the wry “Emo Girl,” coming full circle with this collective of punks. Now you can catch Kelly, Willow and Lavigne under one arena roof. Guitars may be smashed. Eyeliner may be smudged. And expectations will likely be exceeded. 7 p.m., $18-$533+, T-Mobile Arena, axs.com. –Amber Sampson

COMEDY: MARC MARON I wasn’t much of a Marc Maron fan until recently. (As Maron himself once said: “I’m not for everyone. I’m barely for me.”) But shortly after Hangover trilogy director Todd Phillips whined that no one can be funny anymore because of so-called “woke culture,” Maron—who appeared in Phillips’ Joker—called him out through his WTF podcast: “There’s plenty of people being funny right now. …No one is saying you can’t say things or do things. It’s just that it’s going to be received a certain way by certain people and you’re gonna have to shoulder that. And if you’re isolated or marginalized or pushed into a corner because of your point of view or what you have to say, yet you still have a crew of people that enjoy it, there you go! Those are your people. Enjoy your people.” Just like that, Maron won me over. He’s gathering his people together at Wiseguys for two nights of shows, and I’m inclined to join ’em. July 15-16, 7:30 & 10 p.m., $40, Wiseguys, vegas.wiseguyscomedy.com. –Geoff Carter

MISC: KAT CRESSIDA Who didn’t love Cartoon Network’s Dexter’s Laboratory and Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion attraction as a kid? Well, you can thank voice actor Kat Cressida for contributing to those enduring hits.

Those eager to meet the face behind the voice will get them both at Rogue Toys West on July 16, when they can score autographs and photos, and listen to her panel on the history of the Haunted Mansion. 11 a.m.-4 p.m., free, 2115 S.

PARTY: MAJOR LAZER 11 a.m., Encore Beach Club, wynnsocial.com.

MISC: A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM Even the ancient Romans needed a laugh between conquering other lands, and, these days, we could use one, too. Inspired by the work of the Roman playwright Plautus, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum tells the story of the slave Pseudolus, who schemes to win his freedom by helping his young master, Hero, win the affection of the girl next door. The play originally earned eight Tony Award nominations and won six, including Best Musical. It’s also the first Broadway production for which Stephen Sondheim wrote both music and lyrics. Las Vegan Glenn Heath, Broadway World’s Best Supporting Actor in 2018, takes the lead in Las Vegas Little Theatre’s local rendition. July 15-17, 22-24 & 29-31, times vary, $30, Las Vegas Little Theatre, lvlt.org. –Evelyn Mateos
