Yo Gabba Gabba comes to the BOK Saturday.

It's a packed week, beginning with Halloween and ending with Reba.

If you're looking for a fun, kid-friendly outing, make it a Yo Gabba Gabba day Saturday, beginning with Joe Momma's Book Club and ending with a live Yo Gabba Gabba performance at the BOK.

Monday: HallowZOOeen
Trick-or-treating isn't what it used to be. Some neighborhoods are the exception, but often on Halloween, every other porch light is turned off, an instant indicator that you won't find any Butterfingers or Nerds at these houses.
You could skip the neighborhood treats and head for the zoo instead. HallowZOOeen features a haunted train ride, royal castle and loads of candy for trick-or-treating around the zoo.
When: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Where: Tulsa Zoo, 6421 E. 36th St. North
Cost: $8

Tuesday: Tony Blair
Tuesday offers a rare chance to hear former British prime minister Tony Blair speak. It's part of Oklahoma State University's Tulsa Business Forum, and Blair is the first in the speakers series. Plan on taking an early and extended break from work this day to hear Blair's remarks.
When: 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Where: Mabee Center, 7777 S. Lewis Ave.
Cost: $75

ORU basketball
Catch Oral Roberts University's exhibition season opener at the Mabee Center. It couldn't come any sooner for basketball fans, and there's added fun since this game is between two state teams. ORU plays Rogers State Tuesday.
When: 7:05 p.m.
Where: Mabee Center, 7777 S. Lewis Ave.
Cost: Tickets start at $10

Wednesday: "Memphis"
In 2010 "Memphis" won a Tony for best musical. Now the show makes its Tulsa debut. It's the story of a white DJ who wants to change the world and a black club singer waiting for her big break. It runs Tuesday through Saturday.
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and 2 and 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday
Where: Tulsa PAC, 101 E. Third St.

Thursday: Holiday Market Preview Party
Holiday Market is a great place to find unique gifts, all way ahead of the holiday shopping frenzy. The market, sponsored by the Junior League of Tulsa, runs Friday through Sunday, but Thursday brings the chance to check it all out – and shop – ahead of time. The preview event features a fashion show, swag bag, wreath auction, dessert, general admission ticket to Holiday Market and a chance to shop before it's opened to the public.
When: 6 to 9 p.m.
Where: Central Park Hall at Expo Square, 4503 E. 21st ST.
Cost: $30

Friday: Reba
If it were up to us, Reba couldn't come to Tulsa often enough. Tulsa fans love this Oklahoma native who always delivers a standout show to her home-state crowd. Some good seats and decent-priced tickets are still available.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Where: BOK Center, 200 S. Denver Ave.
Cost: Tickets start at $25

Saturday: Yo Gabba Gabba
Be the cool mom and dad, grandma and grandpa or aunt and uncle, and take the kids to see Yo Gabba Gabba at the BOK. For an even cooler way to start the day, head to Joe Momma's Saturday Book Club, which will feature a Yo Gabba Gabba themed day, with books, balloon animals, crafts and special guests.

Yo Gabba Gabba
When: 2 and 5:30 p.m.
Where: BOK Center, 200 S. Denver Ave.
Cost: Tickets are $29.50 to $39.50

Joe Momma's Saturday Book Club
When: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where: Joe Momma's, 112 S. Elgin Ave.
Cost: Free
