Aida

Featuring music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice, Aida, a Disney-produced musical based on Giuseppe Verdi's 19th-century opera of the same name, comes to the Akron Civic Theatre this weekend. It centers on how a conflict between Egypt and Nubia results in a love affair between Aida and Radames, the Egyptian captain who enslaved Aida's people. Tonight's performance takes place at 7, and performances take place at 2 and 7 p.m. tomorrow as well. Tickets start at $20. (Niesel)
