If you are a millennial of a certain age, you remember when the French rock band Phoenix was at its peak. The band's 2009 album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, was one of the better offerings that came out of the 2000s indie-sleaze era. Singles like "1901" and "Lisztomania" were so anthemic, begging to be screamed from the top of your lungs. The followup, 2013's Bankrupt!, was equally well received, keeping the band atop the indie-rock pantheon. Last year, Phoenix delivered its first album since 2017 with the release of Alpha Zulu, which has been garnering plenty of praise. But if you want to relive the time when American Apparel was cooler than Supreme, don't miss this show. 7 p.m. Tuesday, November 14, at Revolution Live, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-449-1025; jointherevolution.net. Sold out. Jose D. Duran

A pivotal figure in conceptual art, Charles Gaines is as much a philosopher as he is an artist. On Thursday, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami debuts "Charles Gaines: 1992-2023," a survey of the artist's work that takes up two floors at the Design District museum. The showcase includes more than 70 works spanning three decades and features two monumental pieces re-created after nearly two decades. The exhibit sheds light on a crucial shift in his career when his art gained heightened political and social significance by including things like the Black Panthers' manifesto as well as texts by Franz Kafka and Frantz Fanon. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through March 17, 2024, at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, 61 NE 41st St., Miami; 305-901-5272; icamiami.org.

After a Broadway revival in 2022 that started with Beanie Feldstein as Fanny Brice and former Glee actress Lea Michele later recast as the lead, Funny Girl is now on tour, making its way to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts through November 26. The classic musical is best known for making Barbra Streisand a household name after she starred in the original Broward run and the 1968 movie musical adaptation. The show follows Brice, a talented and comedic performer, from her early days in the vaudeville circuit to her rise to stardom, and explores her relationships, both personal and professional, and her journey to success despite societal expectations. 8 p.m. Thursday through November 26, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-462-0222; browardcenter.org.

Apparently, it's news to everybody that the stories comedians tell onstage aren't always entirely true. (And here I thought that was common knowledge.) Hasan Minhaj has been through the wringer after a New Yorker exposé about alleged fabrications during some of his stand-up specials. Now, he's returning to South Florida on Friday as part of his Off With His Head Tour. (The tour's title was announced before the New Yorker story, but it seems appropriate considering the circumstances.) Expect Minhaj to touch on topics like politics, parenting, and therapy while onstage. 7 p.m. Friday, at the Adrienne Arsht Center of the Performing Arts, 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-949-6722; arshtcenter.org. Tickets cost $50 to $125. Jose D. Duran

On Friday and Saturday, the Cleveland Symphony kicks off its 2023-24 residency at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts with a performance of Richard Strauss' An Alpine Symphony, which used 100 musicians to vividly depict nature's beauty. From mountains and waterfalls to a hunting scene, a storm, and a triumphant return, Strauss showcases the full power of symphonic writing in this final tone poem, taking the art form to new heights. To achieve this grandeur, the orchestra will be joined by members of the New World Symphony with artistic director Stéphane Denève as conductor. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, at the Adrienne Arsht Center of the Performing Arts, 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-949-6722; arshtcenter.org. Tickets cost $29 to $189. Ashley-Anna Aboreden

The 22nd edition of the Miami Short Film Festival kicks off Friday at O Cinema South Beach, ushering in three days of films that should keep your attention despite TikToks barely being able to do so. And while making a feature film is hard work, packing a compelling story in a short amount of time is not easy either. Friday's opening screening explores the topic of "Tangled Emotions: Delving Into Deep Relationships." Eight films from the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada will be shown, with the longest barely clocking in at 15 minutes. 8 p.m. Friday, at O Cinema South Beach, 1130 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; miamishortfilmfestival.com. Tickets cost $35. Sophia Medina

With nearly two million followers on Instagram and more than four million followers on TikTok, Matt Mathews is a bonafide social media star. From a quick look at his short-form content, which he films at his Alabama farm, it's easy to see why he's so beloved. His observational humor and documentation of his farm life only seem to add to his charisma. On Saturday, the boudoir photographer and comedian brings his When That Thang Get Ta' Thangn' Tour to the Parker, where he'll discuss his life on the farm, growing up gay in Alabama, and past relationships. 8 p.m. Saturday, at the Parker, 707 NE Eighth St., Fort Lauderdale; 954-462-0222; parkerplayhouse.com.

Created by Larissa FastHorse, The Thanksgiving Play challenges the common misconceptions about the national holiday's origins, revealing the erasure and authorship of history.

It seems criminal that it took Coral Gables Art Cinema's After House series this long to screen Martin Scorsese's 1985 film After Hours. Considered one of the filmmaker's most underrated projects, the black comedy stars Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, and Catherine O'Hara, and it earned Scorsese the award for "Best Director" at the Cannes Film Festival. The film centers on a young man from uptown New York who goes downtown for a date that leads him to a wild adventure. 9 p.m. Saturday, at Coral Gables Art Cinema, 260 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables; 786-472-2249; gablescinema.com. Tickets cost $10 to $11.75. Jose D. Duran

British band Metronomy takes the stage at the Miami Beach Bandshell on Sunday, courtesy of the Rhythm Foundation and Poplife. From its humble beginnings as a lo-fi side project, Metronomy has transformed into a dynamic fusion of rock and electronic music. Influenced by the likes of Devo, David Bowie, N.E.R.D., and Pavement, Joseph Mount crafted Metronomy into an irresistibly catchy and unpredictable act, showcased in the band's 2006 debut album, Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe). The band's latest release, Small World, further demonstrates Mount's commitment to pushing creative boundaries while preserving the band's trademark style. 7 p.m. Sunday at Miami Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; miamibeachbandshell.com. Tickets cost $46.35 via dice.fm. Ashley-Anna Aboreden
