A theatre piece where Barbie and Ken try to stop Clos.IT's madness before the spring fashion show.
Barbie Dream Heist opens at the Butterfly Bar at the Vortex on Thursday, September 4, and runs through September 12. It's a theatre piece that puts Barbie and Ken in the middle of a race against time: they're trying to stop Clos.IT's madness before the spring fashion show kicks off. If you've got a soft spot for the dolls, this is their world turned on its head.
The show plays mostly late, so it's more of a nightcap than a matinee. Most performances are on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 PM to 11 PM, which fits the Butterfly Bar's late-night energy. There are two mid-week and weekend exceptions to keep in mind: Wednesday, September 9, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, and Sunday, September 13, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. That Sunday show actually falls a day after the run is listed to end, so it's a good one to keep on your radar if the weekend dates don't work for you.
