Sands Bethlehem Event Center has announced a varied group of new shows coming to Bethlehem this year, covering classic rock, Broadway and stand-up comedy. 

On Wednesday, April 5 at 8 p.m., Idina Menzel’s 2017 World Tour will hit Sands. The singer of the mega-hit “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen” released her latest album, “idina.” in September. Menzel, a Tony Award winner, has appeared in Broadway hits “Wicked,” “Rent” and “If/Then.” Tickets for her performance range from $69 to $99.

Legendary progressive rock band Kansas, the group behind “Carry on Wayward Son” and “Dust in the Wind,” comes to Bethlehem Saturday, May 27 at 8 p.m. Last year, the band released “The Prelude Implicit,” its 15th studio album and first studio release in 16 years. The new record follows a four-decade career with three multi-platinum albums and two million-selling singles. Today the band features two remaining original members, following the retirement of lead singer Steve Walsh in 2014. Tickets for Kansas’ show range from $39.50 to $59.50.
