Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

MUSIC: BARRY MANILOW Thru 3/9, 7 p.m., Westgate International Theater, ticketmaster.com.

MISC: THE DEFINITIVE OPPENHEIMER In just a few days we’ll find out if the expected occurs and Christopher Nolan’s epic film about physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project will sweep the Academy Awards. (Its 13 nominations put it just behind three movies tied for the most noms with 14.) For a different and likely more important perspective on this historic moment, Emmy-winning filmmaker John Else’s The Day After Trinity is widely recognized as the quintessential Oppenheimer documentary, and the Atomic Museum is hosting a conversation called The Definitive Oppenheimer with Else, including film clips, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at the Beverly Theater. The discussion will also include Else’s equally acclaimed film Wonders Are Many: The Making of Doctor Atomic, which references the 2005 opera featuring Oppenheimer as the main character. It all reveals how much fascinating art has been inspired by the birth of the Atomic Age, and it’s safe to assume this exploration of history and cinema will connect the significant dots to Las Vegas as well. 6 p.m., $38, Beverly Theater, atomicmuseum.vegas. –Brock Radke

MISC: FILM: THE ZONE OF INTEREST Director Jonathan Glazer unmasks the mundanity of evil in this hard-to-stomach Oscar nominee. The 2023 film, based on a 2014 novel by Martin Amis, follows married couple Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig as they settle into their dream home, located next door to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Höss plays a dutiful Nazi commandant and father, whose day’s tasks of ensuring the kids get out for a nice swim are juxtaposed against picking out new crematoriums and enabling and participating in the monstrosities of the Holocaust that live next door. It’s a tough but important watch, as we’re reminded in these scenes of how the evil half lives and why history should never be doomed to repeat itself again. Thru 3/14, times vary, $10, Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Amber Sampson
