Meanwhile, the Baron’s wife (Valencienne) is carrying on an over the top flirtation with a young Parisian, Camille. But Valencienne will never allow herself to truly run away with the young man but continues to put him off while also maintaining the flirtation.

This 3-hour multi-media event includes 16 years of classic tracks (1967-1983), and is the perfect complement to Roger Water's 2012 tour of "The Wall." Staff members from the Center’s box office will call ticketholders personally to arrange refunds and re-seat patrons for the February 25 show. For more information, please call the box office at (502) 584-7777. Since 2008, The Dark Side of the Wall has dedicated itself to recreating Pink Floyd’s psychedelic soundscapes and Art House Rock. Dark Side returns to the Brown Theatre with their most ambitious project to date - a 3-hour multi-media adventure covering 16 years of classic tracks.
