On the nights of the concerts, a’Bouzy is turning into the pre-concert party HQ with champagne specials, themed dishes, costume contest and fun cocktails all while playing 40 years of Madonna’s hits. The party is 3pm-8:30pm on Thursday and 5pm-8:30pm on Friday.
Food specials start at $7 and include La Isla Bonita Ceviche and Dress You Up Street Tacos. Must-haves include the Preachin’ Papas pomme frites with cheese, bacon, sour cream and chives. (Don’t worry about the calories; you’ll dance it all off at the concert later!)
A’Bouzy’s signature Moet Chandon is on special, and is featured alongside gin and lemon juice in the Erotica cocktail. And who can resist an Espresso Yourself martini?!
The Celebration Tour was originally schedule for October, but postponed to Easter weekend due to a health scare that left Madonna in the hospital last summer. The show features hits from her record-breaking career, her first-ever greatest hits concert.

Jurassic World: The Exhibition is a 20,000-square-foot show erected in a tent in the parking lot of Katy Mills mall; it has previously popped up in Madrid, Paris, Seoul, Sydney and beyond. From start to finish, the hour-long walk-through production is engaging and appeals to multiple generations of patrons — regardless of whether they want to post it on social media.
“Pods” of guests can enter the tent every half-hour. The experience kicks off with a photo op, and then a short video that is played as visitors board a ferry, sail across the ocean, and arrive at the iconic Jurassic World gate.
Inside, guests come face-to-face with life-size animated dinosaurs, and are escorted from room to room by cute, young attendants with a decent knowledge of the species. Special features include sensory tables, iPads that allow guests to “see” inside dinosaur eggs, and meet-and-greets with baby dinos!
