MISC: MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL When the 10-time Tony Award-winning Moulin Rouge! The Musical lands at the Smith Center this week, Las Vegas native André Ward will be performing in the iconic role of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec—ironically, the local stage debut for the Bishop Gorman product. “I remember watching the Tonys when I was young, and Dreamgirls was on, and [thinking], ‘People that look like me are onstage? Broadway, what’s that?’ And I always wanted to pursue that,” Ward says. “I never played house; I always played New York City apartment, pretending to be an actor. I’ve never performed in Las Vegas so it’s nice to be going back this way.” His extensive stage résumé includes Rock of Ages, Pippin and The Producers, and he’s done TV shows like Pose and Inventing Anna, but the touring take on Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge film is “the part and show of a lifetime,” he says. “It’s just so big and bold and brash, and full of so much heart. It’s not often you get to do something that’s so beautiful. The taglines are ‘Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Love,’ and who can’t get on board with that?” Thru February 5, times vary, $35-$150, Reynolds Hall, thesmithcenter.com. –Brock Radke

MISC: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH  On Valentine’s Day, Stephen Trask and John Cameron Mitchell’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the show’s off-Broadway debut. The heart-wrenching musical about a transgender rock singer is more than an enduring hit, more than a story of unrequited love, more than an homage to the glam rags and soul-searching of Bowie; it’s a bright, heavy celestial object that has drawn multiple generations of brave, yearning souls into its orbit. Hedwig inspired them to get the wig outta the box, consider the origins of love and to defy their oppressors’ attempts to tear them down, and thanks to Majestic Repertory Theatre, their numbers might soon be joined. Majestic’s production, directed by Troy Heard and starring Steffan Scrogan (aka drag artist Anya Knees), will likely tease out the interactive elements of this fourth wall-breaking rock-and-roll cabaret, but even in the unlikely event the cast stands stock still for the entire performance, Hedwig’s gravity remains irresistible. Thru February 26, times vary, $45-$60, Majestic Repertory Theatre, majesticrepertory.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: NERD HALEN Actor, comic and podcaster Hal Sparks—best known from Queer as Folk, Talk Soup and Dude, Where’s My Car?—is now exactly where we thought he might end up: He’s fronting a dweeby, but nonetheless dedicated, Van Halen tribute group. And while Nerd Halen doesn’t look anything like the iconic LA band, these white-shirt-and-tie dweebs sure as hell have the sound down pat. Guitarist Caleb Rapoport has mastered Eddie Van Halen’s riffs and pyrotechnics, bassist Victor Broden and drummer Jeff Page perfectly emulate VH’s powerhouse rhythm section, and Sparks pays respectful homage to David Lee Roth’s joyful, goofball yelping, while adding his own brand of ham and cheese. (He also does a halfway decent Sammy Hagar, but you can tell he’s a DLR guy at heart.) Their love of VH is rockin’ to the core. 8 p.m., $20-$5,. M Pavilion, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: MØAA Dirty Rock & Roll Dance Party cements its reputation as one of Las Vegas’ most interesting indie promoters by booking Møaa, a solo project created by Seattle artist Jancy Rae. Drenched in dark, atmospheric dream-pop and brooding, darkwave energy, Møaa serves as an outlet for Rae’s emotional conflicts and troubled past. Her debut LP, Euphoric Recall, offers a compelling window into her psyche and has been a springboard for some awesome recent gigs, including a show with Yves Tumor in Europe and a SXSW performance last year. And if there’s a perfect Vegas venue for the moody up-and-comer, it’s Artifice. With Dark Black, Mutual, DJ Jacob Savage, 8 p.m., $10-$15, Artifice, eventbrite.com. –Amber Sampson
