Starring a pair of Cirque du Soleil soloists—Jeff Raz and Diane Wasnak—Tandy Beal’s Joy! comes to Santa Cruz this weekend and San Jose the next. The show’s subtitle, A Holiday Show with Circus, Dance and Live Music, really says it all. The performance follows up on last year’s Nutz RE-Mixed! and is set to live music by SoVoSó, an a cappella group known for a rhythmic amalgamation of jazz, gospel, world and R&B. There will be high-flying acrobatics, a contortionist, slapstick comedy and awe-inspiring visuals. Joy! runs Nov. 24-26 in Santa Cruz and comes to the Hammer Theatre Center from Dec. 1-3.
