Arizona Diamondbacks
Well, we’re doing better than last year. Our beloved Arizona Diamondbacks are still having troubles; we’re fourth in the NL West, barely ahead of the Colorado Rockies, and struggling to stay out of the basement. But hope springs eternal, and a night at the ballpark is always a good time no matter what the scoreboard says. This week, you can see the D-backs take on the San Diego Padres at Chase Field, 401 East Jefferson St. Game time on Tuesday, June 28m, is 6:40 p.m., and tickets start at $17. Join SpongeBob, Patrick, and the gang for The SpongeBob Musical at Arizona Broadway Theatre. Arizona Broadway Theatre
The SpongeBob Musical
You know that a TV show is a cultural phenomenon when it gets its very own Broadway musical. So it is for The SpongeBob Musical, which ran for 327 performances in New York City in 2017 and 2018. You can see it at 7:30 p.m. this Wednesday, June 29, at Arizona Broadway Theatre, 7701 West Paradise Lane, Peoria. AZBT is a dinner theater, so if you want a meal before the show, show up at 5:30 p.m. before settling into an evening of original songs by the likes of John Legend, Sara Bareilles, and The Flaming Lips. Cost is $107 for a two-course meal and a ticket and $85 for just the show. Kids ages 14 to 17 are $63 for dinner and the show; 13 and under is $43. Call 623-776-8400 or visit the website for tickets.

Patriotic Concert
Whatever your feelings about the good ol’ USA this year, we can all agree that “The Stars and Stripes Forever” still slaps. Head to Murphy Park, 5850 West Glendale Avenue, Glendale, on Thursday, June 30, for a free outdoor concert of patriotic tunes in advance of the 4th of July holiday. Bring a blanket or chair, and maybe some money for a cool treat from Kona Ice. The festivities begin at 8 p.m.
