Weekly Planner: Your guide to what's happening this week

"The Addams Family" begins 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the PAC.


It's $2 puffy taco night at Elote on Wednesday.


Lady Antebellum plays the BOK on Friday night.

It's a good week with an eclectic mix of fun things to do in Tulsa. Check out "The Addams Family," stuff yourself with puffy tacos and sing at the top of your lungs to Lady Antebellum at the BOK.

Monday
You can celebrate Chinese New Year a couple of different ways on Monday. One, go out for Chinese food. It's a good enough excuse to not have to cook, and you can't beat opening a fortune on the day that begins the Year of the Dragon.

If you have little ones in your midst, check out a Japanese-English story time where you can hop, jump and sing your way into the Chinese New Year. Yes, it's a Japanese story time on Chinese New Year, but it's a good introduction to Asian culture for kids.
When: 11 a.m. to noon
Where: Martin Regional Library, 2601 S. Garnett Road
Cost: Free

Tuesday
It's opening night for "The Addams Family" musical. The national touring production is based on cartoonist Charles Adams' characters, which were later turned into the well-known TV series and movies. It should be a fun show, particularly for those unsure of or new to musical theater.
When: 7:30 Tuesday with shows through Jan. 29
Where: Tulsa PAC, 110 E. Second St.
Cost: $20 to $65. Call 918-596-7111 or go to tulsaworld.com/pac

Wednesday
Here's a good way to interrupt the midweek blues: Eat more tacos. Wednesday is puffy taco night at Elote, where you can get a good deal on this downtown restaurant's famous tacos. Here, flour tortillas are filled with beef, chicken or veggies plus caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato-onion relish, cheese and crema fresca. For $2 a taco, it's a good deal. If you eat 25, they're free, but I wouldn't recommend it.
When: 4 to 10 p.m.
Where: Elote Café, 514 S. Boston Ave.
Cost: $2 puffy tacos

Thursday
Check out the grocery shelves, and you'll notice the gluten-free products are ever growing. Gluten-free cooking is more popular than ever with more people being diagnosed with Celiac disease and others limiting their gluten because of sensitivities or side effects. On Thursday, Whole Foods is having a gluten-free cooking class, and this one is free. Learn to convert your favorite recipes to make them gluten-free, and make three gluten-free recipes during this class.
When: 6:30 p.m.
Where: Whole Foods, 1401 E. 41st St.
Cost: Free

Friday
Country super group Lady Antebellum plays the BOK. It should be a big crowd for this show, which opens with Darius Rucker. An already happening downtown happy hour will be even bigger Friday night before this show. Go for dinner or drinks at McNellie;s, Ti Amo, or Mexicali before the show.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Where: BOK Center, Second Street and Denver Avene
Cost: $27 to $72.50

Saturday
Kids will love watching their favorite Disney characters come to life in Disney Live! on Saturday. Mickey, Minnie and their friends will present three classic fairy tales: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. The show includes dramatic and changing sets, costumes and enough fun to keep all kids entertained.
When: 1 and 4 p.m. (two shows)
Where: Expo Square Pavilion, 4145 E. 21st St.
Cost: $15 to $34 tulsaworld.com/exposquare
