🎧 If you love live music, this venue belongs on your bucketlist. I saw the Eagles at the @spherevegas in 2024 and now @illenium in 2026 — two completely different shows, both unforgettable. Every performance hits in a way no other venue technically can. That’s because the Sphere has:

👀 16K visuals
🔊 168,000 speakers
💡580,000 sq ft of LEDs
💨 4D wind effects
💺10,000 haptic seats

So, who would you want to play at the Sphere next?

🇺🇸 History comes to life on stage at Ford’s Theatr

🇺🇸 History comes to life on stage at Ford’s Theatre. Their newest production, 1776, brings the debates of the United States Declaration of Independence to life as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson struggle to reach consensus on independence from Britain. The award-winning musical is insightful, witty, and surprisingly funny while capturing a pivotal moment that shaped the U.S. I was invited to their preview last night & thoroughly enjoyed the show!

While you’re at @fordstheatre, don’t miss the chance to explore the museum below the theatre. Visitors can learn about the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln and the events of April 14, 1865 at the very place where history unfolded.

🎭 1776 tickets: March 13 – May 16, 2026, ~$38–$95
🎟 Museum tickets: timed entry, open daily, ~$5
📍 511 10th St. NW, Washington, DC 20004
