For six decades, Maine State Music Theatre has brought “Broadway to Brunswick.” Be part of the 60th Anniversa- ry celebration this summer with two shows that are sure to bring you to your feet. Satur- day Night Fever runs through August 4, followed by Singin’ in the Rain, Aug. 8-25. Visit www.msmt.org for tickets. 60 Years of Hoofing Full Moon Ghost Tour, put on by Wicked Walking Tours, blends haunt- ed legends and lighthearted comedy over a half mile stretch of the Old Port. Local actors and comedians guide you through cobblestone streets with stories from the 1600s and on. Lula, one of the many characters you’ll experience on this tour, has been haunting the docks for centuries. The least you can do is stop by. Visit www.wickedwalkingtours.com to reserve space on the August 26 tour. Portland singer VIVA takes over Congress Square Park the evening of August 1. Slip on your best danc- ing heels and sway with some talented jazz art- ists as they swing you into the night. VIVA & the Reinforcements play from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., making this the perfect screening before moving on to tapas and sherry at the Top of the East with your date.
