Fresh from sold-out performances in London, Sydney and Amsterdam, this modern, urban symphonic adventure features a cast of 26 performers plus a 30-member choir of local Miami singers. Pandemonium is from the creators of the blockbuster hit Stomp that creates rhythm with everyday objects. Pandemonium: The Lost and Found Orchestra transforms everyday objects into orchestral instruments with every section of the orchestra represented so strings, woodwind and brass are replaced by musical saws, bottles, whirly toys, and traffic cones. Add the human voice into the mix and simple melodies end up as a complex symphonic and choral celebration. Performances will be at the Ziff Ballet Opera House at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts; Tues - Thurs at 7:30; Fri & Sat at 8; Sun at 7 and Sat & Sun Matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $55 and $75.

Take a gourmet buffet - as only Epicure can prepare - add some interesting characters, a full moon and a murder, and you've got an evening of fun and good food. Epicure's whodunit is full of twists and turns as you follow the clues and attempt to find the perpetrator and solve the puzzle. The evening begins with drinks and a cocktail buffet as you meet, mingle and size up the guests like any good detective would. You'll find clues in unlikely places around the market, delivered by a motley bunch of suspects like the produce manager, the butcher, the party-planner, or perhaps the pastry chef. At the end of the investigation, you'll have a confession and, more importantly, dessert and coffee. Cost is $30 and includes wine. Cocktails also available at reduced prices.
