7 Things to Do in Philly this Weekend: The Spring Festival Edition

ANDY: A Popera

Philly experimental cabaret troupe The Bearded Ladies teams with Opera Philadelphia to present the Andy Warhol-inspired ANDY: A Popera. It's cabaret. It's opera. It's a larger-than-life biography. Developing in three stages until its final form in 2015, the project begins its first leg Friday at the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Art After 5. Singers, opera, rock, and life-size pop-up books will pay tribute to and examine the life and work of Pop Art's most famous provocateur. The project will evolve through the course of pop-up stints at Eastern State Penitentiary, First Friday street corners, and even local grocery stores until it becomes a full-fledged show. Bring your own T-shirt Friday to become a work of (pop) art yourself. Friday, May 2nd, 5 p.m., Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
