Two Adult or Children’s Tickets to the Festival City Symphony’s "Tell Me a Story" at The Pabst Theater on October 9 at 3 p.m.

Classical music boosts listeners’ brain functions and energy levels, which is why every child should ingest a well-rounded harpsichord each morning. Treat your noggin to a mellifluous meal with today’s GrouponLive deal to “Tell Me a Story” , presented by the Festival City Symphony at The Pabst Theater on Sunday, October 9 at 3 p.m. All seating is general admission. Choose between the following options: For $8, you get two children’s tickets (a $16 value). For $14, you get two adult tickets (up to a $28 value). For more than 75 years, Milwaukee’s Festival City Symphony has performed lively renditions of classic masterpieces in casual concerts that please the ears of children and learned music students alike. In the family-friendly “Tell Me a Story,” the orchestra warms up audiences with Rossini’s La Cenerentola , a 19th century operatic version of Cinderella. The sparkling strains of Igor Stravinsky’s ballet The Fairy Kiss mimic the light, dashing footsteps of pixies and other assorted fantasy folk. Finally, an exuberant performance of Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite depicts a host of famous fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast. Against the lush backdrop of the historic Pabst Theater, the vivid cast of brave heroines and dashing heroes bring timeless tales to life in the imaginations of children and parents wearing propeller beanies. Though the Festival Symphony offers discounted tickets for $8 for student and seniors, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Haunted-Bar Ghost Tour for Two or Four at Shaker’s Cigar Bar

Opening a portal to the netherworld usually requires a combination of candles, incense, and an interpretive dance based on Goodnight Moon . Skip the complex rituals with today’s Groupon to Milwaukee’s Haunted Bar , part of Shaker’s Cigar Bar . Choose between the following options: For $25, you get two admissions to an evening ghost tour (a $50 value). For $45, you get four admissions to an evening ghost tour (a $100 value). This Groupon is not valid for Saturday matinee tours. Participants must be 18 or older and must call ahead or check in online to reserve a spot. Located in Milwaukee’s warehouse district and housed in a former cooperage and speakeasy dating back to 1894, Shaker’s Cigar Bar adds a hauntingly historical element to an otherwise typical night out. Paranormal researchers and the proprietor himself maintain that Shaker’s bustles with otherworldly regulars. At 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, groups of 13 tour takers explore the old building—from the basement below to the former brothel—in search of spine-tingling apparitions and the friendly phantasms of former accountants. Confronting the supernatural may be hard on the nerves of some erstwhile specter seekers; fortunately, the bar-based tour allows patrons to bring a drink (not included) along for liquid courage. Intricate 19th-century woodwork greets guests upon arrival, and a brass-topped front bar beckons un-whetted whistles and parched kazoos to belly up for a libation, such as a snifter of 132-year-old cognac paired with a natural Dominican cigar from the basement humidor. Bartenders, called “Shakers” and “Shakerettes,” also serve up period-style absinthe cocktails at the carved-oak back bar. The drinkery’s tin ceilings and tin-relief walls sigh with age as they long for new hearts, while antique stained glass and hardwood maple floors round out the time-displaced décor, transporting patrons into a bygone era.
