'The Lawrence Welk Show'

"The Lawrence Welk Show" brought "champagne music" to the homes of millions for more than 30 years (locally, nationally, then in syndication) and became the pop culture trend of the '50s. Dancers, singers and musicians from the cast of the variety TV show are ready to polka, waltz and turn up the bubble machine again. Jo Ann Castle (1959-1969), Anacani (1973-1982), Ken Delo (1969-1982), Guy Hovis (1970-1982) and Raina English (1969-1982) will perform.

Why go: Yes, we're wondering the same thing: Do these guys still have the moves?

Reconsider: If the words "polka" and "waltz" leave you with the same puzzled look as "rotary phone."

Details: 1:30 and 7 p.m. Monday and 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace; $45-$50; 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com
