We recently checked out the new “Super Mario Bros. Wonder” game. One of its charms is the way it keeps defying expectations.

A Taylor Swift themed cruise is setting sail in 2024. The fan sponsored event organized by Marvelous Mouse Travels will take Swifties on a Royal Caribbean cruise sailing from the port of Miami to Nassau, Bahamas. According to a post by event organizers in the Facebook group for the Taylor Swift themed cruise, because of limited capacity they are operating on a waitlist model, showcasing the impact a Swift theme can have on businesses.

This experience is a chance for Swifties to make the friendship bracelets yet again, connect with other fans and make memories to hold onto.

Here’s what you need to know:

When is it?

The 5 day/4 night cruise departs on Oct. 21, 2024 from Miami, Florida and returns on Oct. 25.

How much is it?

Originally, prices were advertised from $1,573-$1,967 depending on your room for the 4 night stay onboard the Allure of the Seas. However, Jessica Malerman, one of the event organizers, shared in the Facebook group that this price has changed because they got additional rooms from Royal Caribbean to accommodate the demand and that the new rates are slightly higher. There are three room options available; Interior, Boardwalk Balcony and Oceanview Balcony.

What’s included?

For meals, dinner is included in the main dining room, as well as some buffet and a la carte options on board. Entertainment such as stage shows, game shows and karaoke.

For an additional fee, there are premium add-ons guests can choose from including speciality dining, beverage packages, and excursions.

What is the itinerary for Swifties?

As far as travel goes, after departing the Port of Miami on day one, the second day will be spent at Coco Cay which is Royal Caribbean’s private island. Day three is spent in Nassau, Bahamas. The fourth day is at sea before returning to the Port of Miami on day five.

Who is organizing it?

Marvelous Mouse Travels is organizing the “In My Cruise Era” event. The group began in 2014 and this year became a Disney Diamond Earmarked Agency. Additionally, it is a Preferred Universal Agency, Presidents Club at Travel Leaders Network, Mark Travel 500 Club, and a Preferred Sandals Agency. It is not endorsed or affiliated with TASRM or Taylor Swift.

The Taylor Swift Fan Cruise is being led by three travel agents, Jessica Malerman, Nicole Rivera and Shelby Reyes, who are also Taylor Swift fans.

Because of capacity restrictions, only those who book with Marvelous Mouse Travels are guaranteed to participate in the Eras-themed events the group is organizing.

Will Taylor Swift be there?

Taylor Swift is not affiliated with the cruise so it is unlikely that she will attend. However, if you want a chance to see her before the cruise sets sail, you could visit Miami a few days before. Swift is performing for three nights at the Hard Rock Stadium from Oct. 18-20.

The concert — the popular annual holiday show from Bay Area radio station Alice at 97.3 — was supposed to have been headlined by local pop-rock act Train and rising country star Jelly Roll on Dec. 1 at SAP Center.

Other acts on the bill were the Band Camino and Benson Boone.

“The ALICE in Winterland show scheduled for Dec. 1, 2023 at the SAP Center has been cancelled,” according to a news release from SAP Center. “Refunds will be provided to all guests who purchased on Ticketmaster automatically. All other purchasers can receive refunds at the original place of purchase.”

No reason was given for the cancellation.

Here is a partial rundown.

Smuin Xmas show returns, with boa

One of the Bay Area’s most beloved Christmas dance traditions is returning for a five-week run at several area venues. We’re talking about Smuin Contemporary Ballet’s annual “Christmas Ballet” program, a joyous mix of works ranging from elegant to sassy and silly and touching on styles including traditional and contemporary ballet, jazz, tap, swing and more. This year’s show includes world premiere numbers by company artistic director Amy Seiwert and former Smuin choreographer Nicole Haskins. Also in the program are classical dance favorites by company founder, the late Michael Smuin, including “Bach Magnificat,” “Gloucestershire Wassail,” and “Licht bensh’n,” as well as some of his more playful works, including “Christmas Island,” “Droopy Little Christmas Tree” and, of course, “Santa Baby,” a piece that features what the company bills as the “world’s longest feather boa.”

The program lands at Walnut Creek’s Lesher Center for the Arts for performances at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18  and 2 p.m. Nov. 19. Future performances include Dec. 1-2 at the Sunset Center in Carmel, Dec. 7-10 at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts and Dec. 14-24 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. A LGBTQ+ Night performance on Dec. 19 at YBCA features popular San Francisco drag queen Lady Camden (a star of Season 14 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”).

The Dickens of a holiday show

We have a hunch that living in a Dickens novel would probably be nowhere near as fun as hanging out at the annual Daly City holiday event the legendary author has inspired. The Great Dickens Christmas Fair and Victorian Holiday Party, to use the event’s proper full name, returns to the Cow Palace this weekend, with its large and bustling re-creation of Victorian-era London. The attraction is chock full of attractions for adults and kids. The older set can enjoy port and chocolate tastings, sip their way through a high tea, tackle a Sherlock Holmes Experience mystery, knock back a pint or two at the Jekyll and Hyde Pub or somewhat naughtier Mad Sal’s Dockside Ale House, and marvel at the wide array of performances taking pace on seven stages, form Irish singers to Bedouin belly dancers to comedians and jugglers to actors portraying scores of Dickens-created characters.

For the young ‘uns, there is a self-guided Children’s Tour of London, as well as opportunities to meet Father Christmas and the popular Punch and Judy puppet shows. Most of the entertainment and interactive stuff going on, for that matter, is suitable for both kids and adults. And of course, there are all kinds of British delicacies to sample, from fish and chips and bangers and mash to meat pies and all manner of cookies, chocolate and other sweet treats, as well as a full range of liquid refreshments. And, yes, there are knickknacks and other items for sale for holiday shoppers.

Details: Opens Nov. 18 and runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays (plays the Friday after Thanksgiving) through Dec. 17; Cow Palace, 2600 Geneva Ave., Daly City; daily tickets run $25-$45 ($18-$30 after 3 p.m.), with kids under 5 admitted free; full-run pass, $160; dickensfair.com

Guys, dolls and one crazy bet

San Francisco Playhouse isn’t whisking audiences off to the North Pole or Bedford Falls for the holidays. Instead, the company is offering a ticket to 20th-century New York, where some hard-boiled gangsters, gamblers and entertainers of the night prove they, too, can carry a tune.

Yes, the company is presenting “Guys and Dolls,” the iconic musical by Frank Loesser, Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, which has been a popular stage staple since it debuted on Broadway in 1950. Many know the story from the 1955 film version starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.

Now S.F. Playhouse is reviving the musical, which centers a high-rolling gambler wooing an uptight missionary in hopes of winning a bet, and a burlesque performer trying to get her beau to settle down. Yes, it’s an old tale often told, but when you have songs like “Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat,” and “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,” setting the pace, it’s hard to go wrong. Helmed by company artistic director Bill English, “Guys and Dolls” begins in previews this week and runs through Jan. 13.

Details: Performances at 450 Post St., $15-$125; www.sfplayhouse.org.

Most of all, however, Lauren Daigle gave fans reasons to feel hopeful as she performed a roughly two-hour concert that was filled with uplifting music and encouraging words.

“You have a purpose. You are here for a reason,” she told the roughly 10,000 fans in attendance at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Tuesday night (Nov. 14). “And if you need to know that, this song is for you.”

With that intro, the 32-year-old pop star — who is blessed with one of the finest singing voices in all of music — unraveled a simply gorgeous version of “Valuable.” Each lyric came with a sense of purpose, replacing guilt, shame and feelings of unworthiness with warmth, kindness and compassion.

“I watch you from afar and think, ‘What a work of art,’ like the depths of the Grand Canyon or a canopy of stars,” Daigle sang as thousands sat transfixed by the sheer tenderness of the moment. “And if I had to place a bet, I’d bet there’s a little voice inside your head — lyin’.”

“Valuable” was one of at least a dozen amazing moments that took place during the only NorCal stop on Daigle’s Kaleidoscope Tour, which supports the singer-songwriter’s fourth full-length studio outing. Others included Daigle’s energetic take on “Still Rolling Stones” and the wonderfully reassuring ballad “He’s Never Gunna Change.”

Daigle drew strongly from her self-titled new album — which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian music charts back in September — devoting well over half of the 19-song set to those tunes. Most of them were quite good, with only a handful coming across as second-tier offerings.

Fronting a 12-piece band, which included three horn players as well as a trio of backing vocalists, Daigle kicked off the show with three straight tunes from the new album — “These Are the Days,” “Waiting” and “New.”

The first number served as a powerful opener, as Daigle bounced along a long catwalk that extended from the mainstage and out into the audience, smiling and waving to fans as she went. The horns were blasting along, helping to propel a bright, shiny mix of R&B, pop, funk and gospel that feels very true to Daigle’s Louisiana roots. She quickly followed with an equally enjoyable version of “Waiting.”

From there, however, the show slid off course a little bit as the ever-friendly Daigle invited a couple of women from the crowd to come up onstage and dance. (“Just don’t do something that your mother wouldn’t want you to do,” Daigle advised the participants.)

It was a really nice gesture, but the segment went on too long, sabotaging any momentum that had been built by the two opening numbers. Chalk it up as an evidence that Daigle is still growing into the role of arena headliner and is not the most polished of performers (not necessary a bad thing).

What she might lack in polish, however, she more than makes up for in authenticity. Everything she does onstage feels just so real — from the words she sings to the messages she conveys to the crowd — and that, of course, pays huge dividends when it comes to connecting with her fans.

The highlight of the early portion of the show came when Daigle delivered the title track to her 2018 breakthrough effort, “Look Up Child,” and then immediately followed with a powerful take of “Trust In You” from the 2015 debut “How Can It Be.”

Fans really connected with all the tracks played from those two earlier albums, which possess more of a “worship music” vibe than the latest offering. “Lauren Daigle” is still worshipful, mind you, just \with a more straight-ahead pop feel.

The two constants throughout her music remain the subject matter — faith in God — and the encouraging lyrics.

“He’ll always make a way for you, make the sun and rain for you,” Daigle sang on a great version of the new album’s “He’s Never Gunna Change.” He’ll never walk away from you. He’ll always take the blame for you. Always stay the same for you.”

Daigle was an absolute delight when she took time to address the crowd, candidly chatting about everything from her roots in “the swamp” (aka Louisiana) to her experience with counseling (“If you ever want to write a song with a bit of a tearjerker, just go to a counseling session first”).

She also spoke fondly of her time in Guatemala, where she sponsors a child in need. Child sponsorship is near to Daigle’s heart and she provides a platform at her concerts for ChildFund (childfund.org) to find new sponsors to help kids living in poverty in impoverished nations across the world. Sacramento fans really showed up for the cause on Tuesday, signing up to sponsor 529 kids — adding to a total that includes 14,000 who found sponsors during Daigle’s 2022 tour.

Daigle saved four of her best for last, moving from the powerful “Look Up Child” rocker “Still Rolling Stones” and a gorgeous version of the new album’s “Love Me Still” to a sweet rendition of “How Can It Be” that nicely set up the big finale of the blockbuster hit “You Say.”

Daigle, however, wasn’t the only amazing vocalist that fans got to hear on Tuesday. Those who were fortunate enough to arrive on time also got to enjoy an incredible opening set from Victory Boyd — whose combination of stellar vocals, stage presence and striking combination of folk, blues and gospel left this critic thinking that she could be a major star in the music world.

She came across on stage like a cross between Cassandra Wilson and Patti Smith — with the smooth, luxurious vocal delivery of the former and the conviction and power of the latter. I realize that might be hard to envision, so best to just experience the music for yourself at victoryboyd.com.

Boyd also made an appearance during Daigle’s set, joining the headliner for a duet on the old gospel hymn “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.”

Setlist:
1. “These Are the Days”
2. “Waiting”
3. “New”
4. “Look Up Child”

But her friend and close musical compatriot, saxophonist Erica Lindsey, felt she was a perfect candidate for the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute, a new program designed to foster connections between jazz composers and symphony orchestras.

Lindsay had been selected for the JCOI’s inaugural session in 2012, “and she kept urging me to apply,” said Tonooka, 67, speaking by phone from her home in Philadelphia. “It was a crazy time in my life and I didn’t feel very confident in my own work.”

Ready to set aside the application, which required submitting a composition, Tonooka called Lindsay the day before the deadline, “but I said you’ve got to do it,” Lindsay recalled.

Tonooka didn’t just get accepted into the JCOI. She was one of a few composers in the program whose work was selected for a premiere, which led to the American Composers Orchestra presenting her piece “Full Circle” in New York City.

The experience set her on a new path that has led to a series of prestigious commissions, including a work premiered last February by the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Orchestra. Commissioned as part of the Emerging Black Composers Project, the piece taps into Tonooka’s Japanese and African American heritage, drawing on the Sonia Sanchez poem “Haiku and Tanka for Harriet Tubman.”

In her first Northern California appearance as a pianist since the 1993 Monterey Jazz Festival, Tonooka performs Nov. 18 at SFJAZZ’s Joe Henderson Lab and Nov. 20 at Kuumbwa Jazz Center with Alchemy Sound Project, a group that coalesced during her JCOI residency at UCLA.

The multi-generational chamber jazz ensemble includes Detroit-reared Salim Washington, a commanding improviser on tenor sax, flute, oboe and bass clarinet, who just traded a faculty position at South Africa’s University of KwaZulu-Natal for a professorship at UCLA.

The Project also includes trumpeter Samantha Boshnack, who leads several notable ensembles on Seattle’s creatively charged jazz scene, and Los Angeles bassist David Arend, a longtime member of the Oakland Symphony, who works across classical, jazz, electronic, avant-garde and singer/songwriter settings.

The idea for Alchemy Sound Project came to Tonooka in the midst of the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute residency “hanging out with the other composers during our free time,” she said.

“I was thinking, what if we wrote for each other and learned and performed each other’s music?” Tonooka said. “The idea was to give ourselves a community, even a small one, to develop our own work.”

Tonooka also recruited Lindsay, with whom she was already co-leading a quartet that records for the label they co-founded, Artists Recording Collective, or ARC. A San Francisco native and longtime New York resident, Lindsay is an artist-in-residence at Bard College, where she teaches jazz music theory, arranging and composition.

“What I like about writing for that group is that I can explore a more narrative form than you can when you’re writing a tune for a regular gig,” Lindsay said. “You can start one place and go on a journey. A lot of things I’ve written for Alchemy are through-composed, and I set up open spaces for improvisation.”

The ensemble’s evident diversity contains inconspicuous ties, like the fact that Boshnack and the group’s latest member, trombonist Michael Ventoso, were students of Lindsay’s at Bard.

Tonooka’s jazz education took place mostly on the bandstand. By 17, she was writing prolifically for a trio she was leading around Philadelphia featuring future bass star Jamaaladeen Tacuma. Philly Joe Jones, the drum great who powered Miles Davis’s first classic quintet, was so impressed he recruited her for a two-year stint in his band.

Moving to New York City in 1983, Tonooka gained considerable attention as a major new voice, eventually making her recording debut as a leader on 1990’s “With an Open Heart,” a trio session with bassist Rufus Reid and Palo Alto-raised drummer Akira Tana.

Before she started down the orchestral path, Tonooka had also composed scores for about 20 films. For Alchemy Sound Project’s first tour, the group is focusing on new pieces Tonooka wrote for Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works program.

While not exactly a suite, the “interconnected pieces were inspired by a book I read during the pandemic lockdown, Richard Powers ‘The Overstory,’ which described a process that trees have to feed each other underground,” she said. ‘It’s a great metaphor for what community is. We have to do the same thing to survive.”

Tonooka will be back in the Bay Area next month to perform when the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra presents the world premiere of her Emerging Black Composer Project-commissioned “Sketch at Seven” Dec. 29 at St Mark’s Lutheran Church in San Francisco, Dec. 31 at Berkeley’s First Congregational Church, and Jan. 1 at Palo Alto’s First United Methodist Church.

Pink will give away 2,000 banned books at her South Florida shows this week in partnership with the literary and free expression advocacy group PEN America.

Fans who attend the Miami and Sunrise, Florida, stops of the singer-songwriter’s “Trustfall Tour” Tuesday and Wednesday will receive a copy of some of the books that have appeared on PEN America’s Index of Banned Books.

“I’m a voracious reader, and I’m a mom of two kids who are also voracious readers,” Pink said during a livestream on Instagram on Sunday.  “And I can’t imagine my own parents telling me what my kids can and cannot read, let alone someone else’s parents, let alone someone else that doesn’t even have children that are deciding what my children can read.”

Fans will receive copies of “The Family Book” by Todd Parr, “The Hill We Climb” by Amanda Gorman, “Beloved” by Toni Morrison, or one of the books from the “Girls Who Code” series by the nonprofit that shares the same name.

The singer said she decided to join PEN America and local bookstore, Books & Books, to give away books because she wanted to highlight the rising wave of book bans in Florida.

“It’s especially hateful to see authorities take aim at books about race and racism and against LGBTQ authors and those of color. We have made so many strides toward equality in this country and no one should want to see this progress reversed,” Pink said in a statement shared by PEN America.

Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, said she was thankful the singer decided to join the cause during the livestream Sunday.

PEN America says its data showed that Florida had the highest number of book ban cases, more than 1,400, and the largest number of school districts, 33, removing books in the last school year.

The 30-city trek kicks off July 10 in St. Louis and includes four stops in California.

The two Rock and Roll Hall of Famers perform Sept. 1 at Toyota Pavilion at Concord as well as Aug. 31 at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, Sept. 6 at The Kia Forum in Inglewood and Sept. 7 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Nov. 17 via EarthWindAndFire.com and ChicagoTheBand.com.

There is also a Citi presale running from 10 a.m. Nov. 14 to 10 p.m. Nov. 16, citientertainment.com.
