Coming to Vail in March

Jamie Anderson performs a grab during the women’s slopestyle semifinals at the Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships in Vail. The Burton U.S. Open returns to Vail in March.

Live shows at the Vilar Performing Arts Center at Beaver Creek in March include young Nashville singer Nikki Lane (March 7); Coming to America: A musical journey inspired by the songs of Neil Diamond (March 14); and Cirque Eloize Saloon (March 27), a family-friendly acrobatic comedy. Also not to be missed at the Vilar Center in March — “American Idol” star Reuben Studdard on March 12.
