Minneapolis' best man
It'll be raining men at the Pantages Theatre on Saturday when the winner of "One Man Minneapolis" is chosen. Creator Scott Mayer said this is more than a male beauty pageant. The reality-show spectacle narrowed down 200-plus applicants (some via online voting) to find the most stunning male example of "community involvement, personality, intelligence, and fitness." The five finalists will be judged onstage for wardrobe and during an interview segment (the audience can weigh in by text message). The winner gets $5,000 and a $1,000 donation to his favorite charity. The show is hosted by actresses Stacia Rice and Christiana Clark, and features entertainment by singer Erin Schwab, the cast of "When a Man Loves a Diva" and a preview of Theatre Latté Da's "The Full Monty."
8 p.m. Sat. 710 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls.
$29-$49. 1-800-745-3000.
Another Prince party
Three weeks ago First Ave hosted the "Purple Rain" singalong. Tonight the club has another Prince party -- but this one features Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, who will give a special presentation. The "Purple Rain 25th Anniversary Dance Party" features music by Mike the 2600 King, DJ Dan and the Velvet Whips.
