Date Night or Family Night? February Concerts and Shows to Book Now

Check out the shows and concerts you and your families can watch for the Love month

February is the month of love—and no, that doesn’t always have to mean candlelight dinners and prix fixe menus. Sometimes, love looks like singing your heart out at a concert, bonding over a shared playlist, or introducing your kids to the music (and stories) you grew up with through musicals.

This love month, venues all over the metro are filling their stages with performances perfect for couples, families, and even solo dates. From nostalgic musicals to powerhouse vocals and K-pop favorites, here are the concerts and shows worth penciling into your February calendar—before or after the candles and comfort food.

Bagets the Musical

Take a trip back to 1984 with Bagets the Musical, which brings the coming-of-age stories of Adie, Topee, Arnel, Gilbert, and Tonton to the stage. Perfect for parents who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, this production also opens up meaningful conversations with kids about growing up, peer pressure, and finding one’s place—without feeling preachy. Bagets runs until March at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.
