Broadway at the Bass presents The Notebook: The Musical. Based on the bestselling novel that inspired the iconic film, the story follows Allie and Noah, from different worlds, who share a lifetime of love despite forces that threaten to pull them apart.

The next biggest classic rawwwk! gigs (plural) are by Rush, all four concerts — Jun 24, 26, 28, and 30 — at Dickies Arena (1911 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, 817-402-9000). As a fan of the Canadian power trio since “Tom Sawyer” first flipped my wig in sixth grade (circa 1981), I admit I will crap my ridiculous, some would say “overworn” cargo shorts if Geddy or Alex addresses the crowd as “Fort Worth” instead of “Dallas,” since the guys haven’t played the Fort in decades if at all (maybe the convention center back in the day?) but have done Big D dozens of times in the intervening years. And, y’know, since Fort Worth — now the country’s 10th largest city — gets lumped in with Dallas all the time, and I’m sorry for having some civic pride. Geddy, Alex, you’ll be in Fort Worth, not Dallas. Geddy, Alex, I don’t think any place in town serves poutine, but I know where to get some killer Mexican food. Text me! — Anthony Mariani

In celebration of its 46th anniversary, Jubilee Theatre (506 Main St, Fort Worth, 817-338-4411) presents Sassy Mamas. Onstage Fri-Sun, Jun 26-28, and directed by Davian Jackson, the play follows three accomplished women who, later in life, boldly step back into the dating world — seeking younger men they proudly call “tenders.” Written in 2007, the play has earned multiple awards. Though playful and sexy on the surface, the story is ultimately about empowerment: three women refusing society’s rules about age, love, and who they’re allowed to desire. Each finds her own path to rediscovering joy, confidence, and freedom. This show is for mature audiences only (18+). Tickets start at $28 at JubileeTheatre.org/SassyMamas.
