• Thursday, November 9: Professor Pennygoode’s Mighty Flea Circus (Jump, Rockabilly, Swing) http://mightyfleacircus.com/
Starting with a low rumble in the distance and a slight vibration of the ground beneath your feet, you can feel it in your bones that something is headed your way. When you see the lights, hear the music, and the excitement begins to bubble down deep inside, you know… The Mighty Flea Circus is coming to town.
Professor Pennygoode’s Mighty Flea Circus is a non-stop good time ‘Swingabilly’ band from South Florida with one mission: To get you moving! This five-piece, well-oiled machine blends together a unique take on music from the forties and the fifties, Rockabilly, Jump and Swing artists of today, with original material that you can’t get out of your head.
The swinging rhythm section of Richie Molal on drums and Kenny Z on bass lays down a foundation that is guaranteed to get your inner “Lindy Hopper” moving while the intertwining guitars of Greggor Lee and StingRay keep the music flying and open for the sometimes sultry, sometimes raucous vocals of the dynamic and beautiful Chrystine to soar above. With a repertoire of familiar tunes from artists like Louis Jordan, Wanda Jackson, Brian Setzer Keely Smith, Louis Prima, and an ever-growing list of new artists and original music, this band is sure to keep the joint jumping. Do yourself a favor and run away with Professor Pennygoode’s Mighty Flea Circus next time they stop into your town.

“The Lego Batman Movie”
7 – 11 p.m. FREE – *starts earlier due to kid-friendly activities*
7:00 PM – Fun Kids Activities on the Great Lawn
Before great lawn transforms into a theater under the stars, kids are welcome to come down to the Waterfront and enjoy fun, kid activities, including big blocks, art activities, an over-size Connect Four, and maybe even some Legos!
8:00 PM – “The Lego Batman Movie” [PG] There are big changes brewing in Gotham, but if Batman (Will Arnett) wants to save the city from the Joker’s (Zach Galifianakis) hostile takeover, he may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Maybe his superhero sidekick Robin (Michael Cera) and loyal butler Alfred (Ralph Fiennes) can show him a thing or two.
Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs to this theater under the stars. For more information, please visit Wpb.org/events or follow the City of West Palm Beach on Facebook @CityofWPB, on Twitter @westpalmbch or on Instagram @westpalmbch.
